Crackdown on sale of Halloween contact lenses CHICAGO (AP) — Illi-nois regulators have confi scated $1,600 worth of novelty contact lenses aimed at the Halloween market because they are illegal to sell without a prescription. The Department of Finan-cial and Professional Regulation announced Tuesday that a con-venience store in central Illinois surrendered more than 40 boxes of the non-prescription lenses. Department spokeswom-an Susan Hofer says a school

nurse tipped off regulators after a student suffered an eye injury caused by the lenses. Hofer says some confi scated lenses are solid yellow or solid black, and some have eight ball or fl ower patterns. Optometrists report the lenses can cause infections and scratches. In Illinois, consumer sale of lenses without a prescrip-tion is considered the unlicensed practice of optometry. Such sales are subject to cease-and-desist orders and fi nes of up to $10,000.

Live-streaming goes mainstream at festivals AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Music festivals are booming, and so is one alternative to paying soaring ticket prices to spend a long weekend packed among 50,000 or more typi-cally sweaty concertgoers: watching the performances online for free. At the Austin City Limits Music Festival, about a third of the nearly 130 bands on a lineup that includes the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Black Keys and Jack White will have their sets broadcast on YouTube. That’s a record for the three-day festival that starts Friday. Just six years ago organizers began webcasting with a single feed and struggled to persuade artists to even participate.

The same was once true at trendsetters like Bonnaroo and Lol-lapalooza. But as Austin City Lim-its marks the unoffi cial end of the big-festival calendar in the U.S. for 2012, this year might also go down as the year when live-streams started crossing into mainstream. Take the year’s most talked-about performance: Tupac Shakur rising from the dead as a hologram at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in a resurrection that was live-streamed from the California desert and talked about around the world. The rock band Delta Spirit will be among the fi rst acts up on Austin

City Limit’s YouTube channel. “It’s never going to equal seeing it live. But it’s cool that it engages more people,” Delta Spirit lead singer Matt Vasquez said. “We’re a generation of content, aren’t we? We love to fi ll up our days with as little space as possible.” Promoters aren’t trying to sell live-streaming as a substitute for the you-had-to-be-there experience of concerts. Since, in many cases, you still very much have to be there to catch some of the biggest headliners: Neil Young & Crazy Horse and Wee-zer are among the performers in Aus-tin this weekend whose sets won’t be broadcast on the Web.

Students grab lunch Thursday afternoon on the Quad during Pig Out with the Prez! Students had the opportunity to meet President Bowman, along with various divisions and departments on campus. The event also provided free food and a chance to win a variety of prizes, including dinner with Bowman.

Nellie RomanowskiDaily Vidette Sta˜ Writer

ISU President Bowman, fac-ulty, staff, students and fellow ad-ministrators “pigged out” during Pig-Out with the Prez! yesterday afternoon on the Quad. Despite the weather patterns, the rain held out for the two-hour span of the event and brought ap-proximately 700 students to the Quad to enjoy the music, weather and company. Hosted by University Pro-gram Board (UPB), Student Government Association (SGA), Association of Residence Halls (ARH) and Student Alumni Coun-cil (SAC), Pig-Out With the Prez! was held in order to increase awareness of administrators, fac-ulty and staff, as well as build bonds and relationships between the respective groups. President Bowman, along with Dr. Larry Dietz, vice presi-dent of student affairs, were among the various administra-tors present at the event. Students lined up and waited to talk to each of them, with many students awaiting a chance to meet Presi-dent Bowman. “This event is probably one of my favorite events of the year. I’ve gone every single year since

I was a freshman,” Jessi Gonza-lez, senior family and consumer science major, said. “I love see-ing President Bowman make an effort to talk to every single stu-dent in line to see him. You can really tell that he cares about ISU.” Gonzalez said even though the line was long, everyone was very excited to get a chance to take a picture with President Bow-man and to personally meet him. “This year I made an extra effort to get out to the Quad, de-spite the cold and windy weather,” Gonzalez said. “I really wanted a picture with President Bowman before I graduate in May.” “We are really thankful the weather stayed away long enough for a great day,” Chase Breeden, sophomore accounting major and vice president of ARH, said. “We have collaboratively met with all three of the organizations around fi ve times in the past few months to prepare for this day.” ARH spends about a full se-mester planning the event and or-ganizing the food, music and fac-ulty guests. ISU athletics also held a much bigger role as Reggie and the football and volleyball coach-ing staff attended.

His ancestors had formed a small but deadly army to defend themselves. The army became famous across the land as protectors—skilled executioners who wandered the countryside slaughtering any of the enemy they could find. They were renown not only for their brutal killings, but also for celebrating their slayings by plunging themselves into slayings by plunging themselves into drug-induced stupors. Their drug of choice was a potent intoxicant they called hashish.

Prison break sees 132 inmates escapeMEXICO CITY — Complicity by guards or other officials is suspected

in the escape of 132 inmates from a prison in the northern border state of Coahuila, authorities said Tuesday.

The inmates apparently fled through a 21-foot tunnel carved under-neath a carpentry workshop in the prison at Piedras Negras, across the border from Eagle Pass, Texas. They were noticed missing sometime Monday afternoon.

Authorities on Tuesday said they had recaptured three female in-mates. Four men also thought to be escapees were killed in a shoot-out with troops scouring the region in search of the fugitives, they said.

It was the second-largest prison break in the six-year administration of President Felipe Calderon. Mexican prisons, heavily overcrowded in part because of drug-war arrests, are notoriously porous and saddled with corrupt management.

Union officials end Chicago teachers strikeCHICAGO — The Chicago Teachers Union’s House of Delegates de-

cided Tuesday afternoon to end the city’s first teacher strike in 25 years and return more than 350,000 students to the classroom Wednesday.

The voice vote was taken after some 800 delegates convened at a union meeting hall near Chinatown to discuss and debate a tentative contract. Union leaders had already signed off on the agreement with Chicago Public Schools.

“We said we couldn’t solve all the problems ... and it was time to sus-pend the strike,” CTU president Karen Lewis said at a news conference after the vote.

Earlier in the day, teachers on the picket line outside CPS headquar-ters were mostly optimistic that they would be back in school Wednes-day morning.

“In our meetings yesterday, it’s apparent we’re optimistic that we will return,” said Mary Mark, a CPS speech language pathologist, who fears that if the union is on strike much longer, support for the teachers will shift.

“We realize that by going out, we’re diminishing our power, but on the other hand, we don’t want to strike so long that we turn the tide of support. We all need to get back to work and the kids need to get back in school,” Mark said.

Texas ranks as 10th fattest stateA third of adult Texans are already considered obese and a new

study says those numbers will continue to grow unless dramatic changes are made.

If obesity rates continue at their current trajectory, 57 percent of Texas adults could be obese by 2030, according to a report released Tuesday by Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Foundation.

Based on 2011 data from the Centers for Disease Control and Pre-vention, 30.4 percent of Texas adults are considered obese, enough to rank Texas 10th among other states.

Mississippi ranks first at 34.9 percent; Louisiana ranked second at 33.4 percent; West Virginia ranked third at 32.4 percent; Alabama was fourth at 32 percent and Michigan was fifth at 31.3 percent.

Situated across the Maver-ick Activities Center and next to the Fine Arts Building sits the Architecture and Fine Arts Library. Walking through the Architecture courtyard, it is easy to pass up. Despite its large window walls, not many people stop to notice the smaller li-brary. It is little-known among those who don’t stay on the west side of campus. It’s small-er, less noisy and easy to miss when walking briskly to class.

The library seems like any other at first glance — a place holding new and old books of a certain subject, a comput-er area and sitting spaces for studying. But the Architecture and Fine Arts Library isn’t just any library. It holds pieces of knowledge and offers a quiet-er but friendlier atmosphere. Being only one story and sitting right under the architecture studio and classrooms, it makes it easier for working students and staff to reach the books.

Architecture librarian Mitch Stepanovich said the Architec-ture and Fine Arts Library is the architecture student’s lab, a place where students can go for their architecture needs. It’s not only a place to study but a place for students to get their ques-tions answered. The library houses not just books, but rare pieces of building plans and maps of cities.

“We are their [architecture students] laboratory. Here, they’ll come down often times in the middle of a studio as they’re working on something. All of a sudden it’s like grass-hoppers all over the place, they’re just devouring materi-

als,” Stepanovich said. “When I see them, I come out of my office and join them. Often times just being around them is helpful.”

The library features stu-dent work on its shelves. On the top shelf of the bookcases, miniature skeletons of build-ings showcasing different styles of architecture are shown to those who notice them. From straight-edge buildings to buildings built to flow like na-ture, the works on the shelves are examples of studio projects.

The Architecture and Fine Arts Library isn’t just for ar-chitecture students or fine arts students but anyone looking for a relaxing place to study, film senior Iris Lopez said. The li-brary’s windows create an open and bright place for students.

Landscape architecture se-nior Xiwen Feng said she con-

vinced her friend to come to this library instead of the Cen-tral Library.

“I told them it is medium-sized library, not a lot of people and quiet,” Feng said. “And the windows you can see the yard. It’s better.”

The librarians and librarian assistants are very helpful and very knowledgeable in their fields and don’t turn anyone away, Stepanovich said. He said the students come first.

“I’m on a first-name basis with them; they come in, they know where my office is, they know that they can interrupt me because the work that we [librarians] do keeps us busy between their questions,” Ste-panovich said. “We usually can set aside what we’re doing and work with them to get them help with their project.”

Even though the library is

greatly used by architecture students and staff, few others know of its existence, Stepa-novich said.

The library has a homey, open atmosphere and wel-comes anyone who needs its service, library assistant Rachel Harris said.

Harris said because there are no signs, most people be-lieve the building to be just the architecture department.

“Why would you think this has a library in it,” Harris said. “It’s just one of the many build-ings on campus.”

But the Architecture and Fine Arts Library isn’t forgot-ten. During finals and dead week, Harris said students from different majors will come in to study.

Let the search begin.UTA president search ad-

visory committee members know the next president has big shoes to fill, especially in the middle of a time when the university is experienc-ing significant growth.

The next president will be expected to continue the growth that President James Spaniolo started, several members said.

Spaniolo announced his retirement in June and said he is remaining in the po-sition until his successor is hired.

Bob Watson, UTA Alum-ni Association president and member of the committee, said he will look for a presi-dent similar to Spaniolo and former president Wendell Nedderman.

“We need a leader cut from the same cloth as those leaders. That’s how we’ll be able to continue this track to Tier One,” Watson said.

Tier One, maintaining a tight relationship between the city and university, con-tinuous increase in enroll-ment and excitement in UTA athletics are all things that will be expected of the next president, several members from the search committee and the UTA community said.

Spaniolo has been cred-ited for leading the surge to becoming a major research university, influencing the increasing enrollment and fostering a close relationship between the city and univer-sity in the eight and a half years he has been president. In 10 years, research activ-

ity tripled to $66 million. The 20-acre College Park District made its debut with the athletic and special event center in February.

“The College Park Center got the alumni very enthu-siastic,” said Lora Malone, Alumni Association execu-tive director. Malone is not on the advisory committee.

That enthusiasm was especially evident in phil-anthropic contributions — philanthropic giving nearly tripled to record numbers under Spaniolo as well. For fiscal years 2009-2010 and 2010-2011, giving totaled about $15 million each, compared to $5.9 million in 2008-2009. The total giv-ing for the 2011-2012 has not been released, but Spani-olo said it will be another record-breaking amount.

Malone said the next president will need to be a balance of an academia and a businessman (or woman). Additionally, she said the Alumni Association hopes the president will be a vi-sionary and collaborator.

Malone is confident the search committee will seek out a president with those qualities because “it’s the UT System,” she said.

Spaniolo echoed Malone’s trust, saying the university has amazing stakeholders and students and faculty that will select the right person.

“The handing of the baton is the most crucial part,” he said.

Spaniolo said he thinks the candidates will be stron-ger than the ones that ap-plied when he was hired be-cause the university is stron-ger now.

Athletics director Jim Baker and Student Congress President Jennifer Fox said they hope the next president will not only be strong, but committed, as Spaniolo has been.

“The College Park Cen-ter tells you what commit-ment he’s had,” Baker said about the president’s com-mitment to the Athletic De-partment.

The president has also shown commitment to the students by involving them in decisions that affect them, Fox said. For instance, Fox said Spaniolo worked with Student Congress members in the tuition proposal last year that resulted in the cost of tuition remaining the same.

“President Spaniolo has always been good about in-volving students in decision-making processes, and I hope the next president will have the same outlook,” Fox said.

Overall, committee and community members said they hope for a visionary to fill Spaniolo’s shoes.

“You need someone ar-ticulate about their vision and passionate about getting it done,” College of Science Dean Pamela Jansma said. Jansma is also on the advi-sory committee.

As far as what specifically the next president will need to do, “only time will tell,” Jansma said.

It will not be the first de-gree UTA has merged with UT-Dallas. The schools offer graduate-level degrees in bio-

engineering and discussed joining doctoral degrees in mechanical engineering ear-lier this year.

“I think that shows the relation [with UT-Dallas] is very good,” Jansma said. “UT-Dallas has resources UTA doesn’t have and we have resources UT-Dallas doesn’t have, so we can work together.”

Both schools are vying for Tier One status. A geosci-ences Ph.D. will help UTA continue that pursuit, Jans-ma said.

“In order to excel at re-search, we have to have Ph.D. students. This will help with research,” Jansma said.

There’s a student organiza-tion that explores the U.S. while encouraging its members to partake in new experiences.

The Adventure Club is a non-profit organization that was founded in 2010, said Brian Hoang, biology senior and club vice president. The Adventure Club is open to all students but targets interna-tional students who have never traveled in the U.S. Hoang said the group aims to introduce in-ternational students to Ameri-can living.

Every year, the club tries to have a major event outside of Texas, Hoang said.

Last year, the members went to Carlsbad Caverns Na-tional Park in New Mexico ,where they went whitewater rafting and snowboarding.

“It was my first time doing this, so it was really an adven-ture,” Hoang said.

During the weekends, the club goes on more local adven-tures around Texas, said Chris-tina Yi, nursing junior and club member. In the past, they have gone to the Texas State Fair, Lake Whitney, Brazos River and more.

“We do something normal people wouldn’t do on a daily basis,” Hoang said.

Members brainstorm ad-ventures and vote on the best one, he said.

Hoang said the group may

go underwater cave diving this year but hasn’t officially voted.

“The expenses for the events are self-pay, but if we do have the funds, we try to accommodate as much as pos-sible,” he said.

Yi said the club members are willing to cooperate and help each other.

The members make sure that the events are affordable for others through fundraising and traveling group packages, she said.

For Yi, the Adventure Club is something that she loves to attend. Students are able to meet international students and go out and explore the U.S., she said.

“If you’re not from Texas, you’re not the only one in the club,” she said.

Last year, there were 29 members, Hoang said.

To sign up in the club, stu-dents should register through MavOrgs, Hoang said.

Updates for events and pric-ing are updated through the group’s Facebook page, UTA Adventure Club 2011-2012.

The club plans to meet Tuesday, and meetings are usually once a month, Hoang said.

LaMarcus Reed an-nounced his presence to the nation with an earth-shaking dunk over Thomas Robinson on national television.

The Kansas Jayhawks were ranked No. 3 at the time, and Robinson went on to become the fifth pick in the 2012 NBA draft. Not many can say they ‘posterized’ the six-foot, 10-inch power for-ward like Reed did. The dunk earned him No. 2 on ESPN’s top 10 plays of the night.

Described as a nice, hum-ble person by UTA head coach Scott Cross, the former UTA Maverick star forward said his best basketball memory was a team accomplishment.

“Cutting down the nets,” Reed said about celebrating the Southland Conference Championship with his se-nior year.

After graduating a con-ference champion in spring, Reed was called upon to play for the Portland Trail Blazers in the NBA Summer League. A 14-point season finale led him to the Port of Antwerp Giants in Belgium.

Not bad for a guy who didn’t originally want to play basketball. Already standing at six feet tall, Reed was pres-sured by his seventh grade coach to join the basketball team.

Just a year later, he dunked for the first time. Reed said he felt alive, but “played it cool.” He saw big improvements in eighth grade and later was the best player on his fresh-men basketball team at Dal-las Skyline.

“When I played varsity my sophomore year in high school is when I realized I could probably play in col-lege,” Reed said. “My junior

year in college is when I real-ized I could get paid to play basketball.”

Reed paid his dues at UTA like most incoming athletes. He didn’t play his freshman season after receiving a red-shirt from the coaching staff,

allowing him to develop his skills while keeping all four years of eligibility. In his sec-ond year at UTA, Reed aver-aged 3.4 points and 1.9 re-bounds per game.

He gradually improved until his breakout senior sea-

son, where he averaged 17.8 points per game. Reed earned first-team All-SLC honors and a spot among the finalists for the Lou Henson Award, given annually to the nation’s best mid-major college bas-ketball player.

“The prototypical student athlete who did everything you asked and more,” associ-ate head coach Greg Young said. “He was a leader. You could rely on him everyday.”

Cross said Reed started making big strides during his sophomore year at UTA.

“He was really committed to getting up 10,000 shots a month and setting goals and really striving to reach them,” Cross said.

Cross and the coaching staff taught Reed the impor-tance of going to the gym on his own. Reed said he had always worked hard and done what the coaches asked, but it was that extra commitment, when people weren’t looking, that helped advance his ca-reer.

Now a resident of Belgium, he plans to continue using the work ethic that got him there. He is already preparing for the changes involved with life in a different country.

“I’m sure it’s not like me-dieval times. I’m staying up all night trying to adjust my sleep patterns,” he said before leaving for Belgium.

Reed said a lot of people speak English in Antwerp, so he isn’t worried about the language barrier. He will miss his family, but said he’ll get used to it once the paychecks start coming in.

He started practicing this week to prepare for the team’s first game against Weert on Sept. 9. Reed has one simple goal in mind for Belgium.

“Once you win a champi-onship, you want ‘em to keep coming. I want to help my team in any way I can to win another championship.”

ALUMNI

LaMarcus Reed goes pro after leaving UTA with SLC honors.

Students looking to par-ticipate in friendly compe-tition through intramural sports only need to wait one more day to sign up.

Registration for four-on-four basketball, flag foot-ball, bowling and wheel-chair basketball begins Aug. 23. Students can register at the Maverick Activities Center front desk.

Basketball and football are expected to draw up to 70 teams as two of the most popular intramural sports on campus. Intramural sports coordinator Tak Mo-mose said intramural sports bring in more than 1,000 students each semester.

“This is a great way for students to have fun and be social,” Momose said. “Ac-tive students often make better grades and are less stressed.”

Momose said previous sports experience doesn’t matter. Athletes of all skill levels are encouraged to participate.

Intramural supervisor Kyndall Griffin said intra-mural sports also provide a great way to stay in shape.

“Students can avoid the ‘freshman 15,’ ” Griffin said. “Just go out and have fun; that’s the most important thing.”

Students can join with friends or an organiza-tion to create their team. For those who don’t know enough people to create a team, there is a free agent pool that will place them on a team.

Game times and dates vary depending on the sport. Later this month, registration begins for the Madden ’12 tournament, fantasy football and College Football Pick ‘Em.
