Wednesday, March 29, 2006 Campus News Roundtable discussion scheduled for March 30 The latest installment of the JBS Distinguished Lecture Series will be held at 7:30 p.m., March 30 in the UT Permian Basin Gymnasium. The topic of the moderated event will be “Securing America’s Borders.” Educator’s Job Fair to be held May 26 The UT Permian Basin Educator ’s Job Fair is scheduled for May 26 from 10 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the campus Multipurpose Room. Over 25 school districts are expected at this year ’s fair. Teacher placement files cost $15 and include 15 mail outs over a three year period. Volume 24 · Issue 12 Speakers give presentations, discuss graduate school by Isidro Gonzales Assistant Editor On March 15, UT Permian Basin, in conjunction with The Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) Grant, brought two speakers, one All But Doctorial (ABD) candidate and one Ph.D., to speak on their research/dissertation in their respective fields. The candidates Alexis Ortiz, from Texas Woman’s University, presented research on “Kinematic and Kinetic Pre-disposing Factors to ACL Injuries on Female Athletes” and Daphne Watkins of Texas A&M University presented research on “Life Events and Their Impact on the Mental Health of Young Black Men.” To be certified as a Ph.D., the candidate must defend their dissertation. As of the presentation, Watkins had defended her research prior to the presentation and had earned her Ph.D. The presentations were the second part of a two-part presentation—earlier in the day the speakers and several UT Permian Basin faculty and staff conducted a roundtable discussion on Graduate school titled, “Applying, Attending and Surviving Graduate School.” Panelists included Ortiz, Watkins and UT Permain Basin faculty Yolanda Ramirez, Rolando Diaz, Dr. Ana Martinez and Dr. Brian Brantley. Several students from Lanita Akins’ history class were present, as well as some of the noted faculty. James Rutledge, a junior, had already decided to attend Graduate school. He attended the evening presentation because he was contemplating whether to attain a doctorate, as well. “I was really unsure whether or not to further my planned education past the Graduate level,” stated Rutledge. “Now after seeing how much research and time is involved, I don’t know,” he continued, referring to the amount of time Watkins stated it took for her interview transcription. Jenny Summers, a senior, however, needed no further convincing; she had already decided to attain her doctorate. “I attended this event to make sure that getting my doctorate was what I wanted,” said Summers. “Listening to the two pre- senters made me even more anxious to begin my work.” She stated that she was not sure of what she wanted to study. According to the HSI Grant website located at www.utpb.edu/hsi/ index.htm, to be considered for an HSI Grant, UT Permian Basin had to See ABD Speakers, p. 3 Presenters participate in grad school roundtable discussion by Malissa Greenwood Staff Writer The Hispanic Serving Institutions Minority Scholar Program presented an informative discussion on “Applying, Attending and Surviving Graduate School” on March 15 in the library lecture hall. The discussion included a panel of individuals, some currently working on graduate degrees and others who have recently acquired them, who shared their experiences in graduate school. The panel consisted of six people, four UT Permian Basin faculty members–Yolanda Ramirez, Rolando Diaz, Dr. Ana Martinez, and Dr. Brian Brantley– and two guests–Alexis Ortiz, Ph.D. from Texas Woman’s University and Daphne Watkins, Ph.D. from Texas A&M. All six individuals were of differing ethnic backgrounds in an attempt to ensure that everyone participating in this diverse discussion would be able to relate to at least one of them. Students were encouraged to ask questions, express concerns and interact with the panel, as well as other students. The discussion began with the topic, “Why grad school?” This topic included reasons why students should continue their education, as well as how far they think they should go. “For a lot of occupations, you do need those three letters after your name,” explained Diaz, after sharing his personal experience in graduate school. An area of main concern for several of the students was when to start graduate school. Watkins expressed her personal experience on deciding to go to grad school right after completing her bachelors, rather than taking time off. She said, “I wanted to do grad school while I was still young, while I still liked to learn . . . because I knew there would be a day when I didn’t like school.” Along with the discussion of why you should attend grad school, there was a talk about choosing the right school. The panelists conferred the importance of research and investigation into any schools of interests; giving importance to what kind of services are offered and what will be the best for students financially while still giving them a good education. Another main topic discussed was what to do during the application and entering process. All panelists expressed their belief that finding and befriending a faculty member at the university a student is interested in was an extremely beneficial move. See Grad School, p. 3 Honors Convocation to be held, recognition given to students, faculty by Jason Navarette Editor-in-Chief Photo by Malissa Greenwood Grad school roundtable speakers (from left to right) include: Dr. Alexis Ortiz, Rolando Diaz, Dr. Daphne Watkins, Dr. Brian Brantley and Yolanda Ramirez.

Guest speaker will be Commissioner of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board Raymund Paredes. According to Chair of Awards and Recognition Dr. James Tillapaugh, the Convocation is held to recognize student academic achievement, all types of scholarships, honors, student leaders, as well as others categories. Tillapaugh said, “We give awards for everything we feel deserves recogni- In addition to the recognition for student achievement, faculty awards are also given during the Convocation. Two of those awards are the Chancellor’s Counsel Outstanding Teacher Award and the Outstanding Research Award. Nominations for the Chancellor’s Counsel Outstanding Teacher Award are given by students. Once students nominate the teachers, each academic unit—Humanities and Fine Arts, Behavioral Science, Science and Mathematics, Business and Education—narrows the list down until there are a total of one nomination per unit. The winner of the award is chosen from these faculty members. This year, there is one nomination from each unit. Tillapaugh said, “It’s important to remember that Red Cross training given to Psychology Club, plans roundtable University faculty, staff discussions, other events by Isidro Gonzales Assistant Editor The UT Permian Basin Physical Plant has, for the second year in a row, sponsored Red Cross training on campus for faculty and staff due in part to a special grant. The goal of this training is for the University to be better prepared to respond to situations that require some medical assistance until paramedics can arrive. Lail Grant, Physical Plant University Safety Coordinator and Planner, stated that the annual training would continue as long as grant funding was available. “As our student population grows along with the number living on campus, the needs of such training becomes more important,” stated Grant. According to Grant, those that have received training to date were the Police Department, Physical Plant, all faculty and student workers in Visual Arts, as well as Industrial Technologies faculty. By the end of March, laboratory staff, many of the Science faculty, Housing Resident Assistances and a fair number of the staff will have completed the training or recertified as well. The program was continued to better prepare the University due to the recent rash of local emergencies such as the grass fires and national tragedies such as 9-11 and Gulf Coast hurricanes. “Recent tragedies [such as hurricanes Katrina and Rita] and those back to 9-11 have shown the need for first aid training, but they were not the motivating force to develop this training. It started as a grassroots program from safety and the police requesting the training. Funds were found in the way of a grant which has been expanded See Red Cross, p. 3 by Jason Navarette Editor-in-Chief The Psychology Club has long been an active student organization on the UT Permian Basin campus. The club proper is divided into two parts: Psi Chi, the National Psychology Honor Society which is open to qualifying students, and the Psychology Club, which is open to any who wish to join. The University branch of Psi Chi was established in 1978, about four years after the school’s founding. Psychology Club President Christy Holmes was pleased with the Psychology Club and what was in store for the organization. She said, “I’m pleased very happy with the direction the [Psychology] Club is going. I feel we can get students involved . . . . We have a variety of events planned so that students will have the opportunity to participate.” Behavioral Science Lecturer and former Psychology Club advisor Suzanne Rathbun was optimistic about the student organization and its role on the UT Permian Basin campus. She stated, “I think it’s a good thing for students to participate in [the Psychology Club]. It lets them interact with the University and lets them interact with other students.” Rathbun added that this interaction with other students is an important part of university life. She said she was looking forward to the debates the Psychology Club would be holding in the UT Permian Basin Cafeteria, as such debates help create a sense of campus community. See Psychology Club, p. 3 this is a process of selection, rather than an election.” The Outstanding Research Award is determined using the same process, although the original nominations are not given by students. However, the Honors Convocation, stated Tillapaugh, is focused mainly on the students. He said, “This is when we can say, ‘Hey, you guys did great! You deserve this recognition’ . . . . It’s obviously very special for the students who receive awards, but it also lets other people share the same kind of pride.” Due to what Tillapaugh referred to as “sizeable reconfiguration,” the Gymnasium will not be the site for this year’s Honors Convocation. He stated, “We hope for a very nice spring day.” Inside The MJ Columnist satire on the campus Student Directory... page 2 Navarette reviews the movie Flightplan... page 3 Falcon Sports 2006 Spring Schedule... page 4 Opinion/Editorial Page 2, The Mesa Journal Into the Wilderness My Rant Altruism from the Heart A ltruism can be defined as “unselfish concern for the welfare of others; selflessness.” By its very nature, altruism is the heart and soul of volunteerism and community service. There are many organizations that strive to increase volunteerism within Jason the community. Locally Navarette Editor-in-Chief speaking, some of these organizations are community-based (such as Meals on Wheels, the Junior League of Odessa and The Crisis Center), while others are based in the UT Permian Basin campus (such as the Student Volunteer Center and Students in Philanthropy). What purpose does community service serve? Zoologically and evolutionarily, community service helps advance the human race. Another definition of altruism is “instinctive cooperative behavior that is detrimental to the individual but contributes to the survival of the species.” After all, by aiding those around us that are in need we help ensure that the human genome will be preserved. Psychologically, volunteerism makes us feel better about ourselves. Peace of mind can be achieved when we give our time, energy and/or money to help others. A similar state of well-being can be found in those receiving such aid. Spiritually, community service provides a person the opportunity to connect to those around them, as well as to the Divine. Many religions have the fundamentals of volunteerism engrained in their doctrines. For example, one of the basic tenets of Buddhism is interdependence. Although Buddhists relate interdependence to all of creation, the concept holds true when localized to the human race. Whether societal or individual, we are all dependent on one another. Christianity, too, calls for community service, which is evident in New Testament parables such as the “good Samaritan.” The themes of giving and altruism can be found in a multitude of Scripture passages. The concept of helping others can also be found in the Jewish Torah. It is queried by Cain (Genesis 4:9), “[Am] I my brother’s keeper?” True, the context of the quote seems to be out of place in an editorial about altruism and volunteerism—after all, Cain had asked the question shortly after murdering his brother. However, it could be argued that the purpose of the Bible is to answer that one question. So, are we our neighbor’s keepers? How will you answer? Life imitating Art or Art imitating Life Wednesday, March 29, 2006 Column by Isidro Gonzales Assistant Editor I was privileged to watch V for Vendetta the other day and found it eerily similar to what is currently happening with our government. In this movie (set in the not too distant future), the Brit’s have decided that any political dissent would not be tolerated. Anyone that was deemed to be different (read here as homosexual, etc.) were put in some sort of concentration camp. They (the ones in control of the government) went as far as withholding information about very serious events. As the movie went on, I took note of several quotes such as, “The people should not fear their government, but the government should fear its people.” This really got me thinking that the reason we are subjected to all this drivel from the Bush administration is because if we really knew the truth, Bush and his ilk would be ridden out of Washington D.C. on the first rail, plane or bus—take your pick. On March 19, I saw a piece on “60 Minutes” on how the government (read here the Bush Administration) is censoring the information noted scientist from NASA dealing with global warming. I find this very, very disturbing. I have to wonder; what else are they hiding? Oh yeah, it’s due to the fact that weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) were never in Iraq in the first place, the fact that what we now have in Iraq is a “civil war” or the fact that a majority of Americans find our president to be a big moron. Seeing that episode of “60 Minutes” made me shudder. Although a wonderful piece of fiction, is V for Vendetta really coming true? Stalking 101: A satire on the campus Student Directory Column by Nora Triepke, Staff Writer If you want to become a stalker, things just got a whole lot easier. I know where you live, or at least, I know your permanent address according to UT Permian Basin. Whether it is your parent’s house, a former residence in another state, a dorm address or your current home address, I know it. I didn’t steal this information from a UT Permian Basin office on a top secret mission and I’m not a psychotic stalker. I simply own a copy of the recently published Student Directory. Unfortunately, the only people this publication seems to benefit are the sort of people the Campus Police constantly prevent from antagonizing students. If I want to join a study group or call a friend for help with a class, I can just ask them for their number. That is what students normally do, isn’t it? If they do not give it to me, there is a reason. If they do give it to me, at least they have made a conscious decision about divulging personal information. If you would like to rectify this invasion of your privacy, just visit the Registrar’s Office and let them know you wish your personal information to be kept confidential in future publications. You might also consider confiscating all the existing Student Directories placed conveniently around campus. Don’t feel too confident though because you haven’t solved the problem, yet. The next step in protecting your privacy is to make sure no other student on campus has this information already. The Student Directory might be helpful in this instance, just obtain a copy and proceed to call each home number until you have convinced the entire student body to get rid of their copies of the booklet. If this doesn’t work, you can always visit the student’s home. After all, you have their address. Besides, confronting them in a more personal fashion would probably be more effective anyway. In fact, why don’t you just barge into their home and poke around until you have found and destroyed their copy of the directory? Shred it to pieces or burn it to ash right in front of their eyes; that should convince them not to use your phone number or visit you at home! Perhaps you can even convince them to accompany you to other residences and find the other directories. If you turn your personal vendetta into an angry you-violated-my-privacy mob, your crusade is sure to be more successful. Once you have effectively ended the nightmare that is your invasion of privacy, you might want to be aware of whether or not “they” redistribute the booklet. If you think all this will take up too much time and energy, just think about all the time you will be saving. If you do not take these protective steps you will be wasting time screening calls from people you never would have dreamed of giving your phone number. You will also be saving the time that would otherwise be spent filing complaints and restraining orders with the police as you try to keep all the stalkers away from your neighborhood. Of course, you might also consider moving to a new location and changing your phone number, especially if you think you have some angry ex-boyfriends, ex-girlfriends or potential stalkers out there.

Wednesday, March 29, 2006 Arts & Entertainment The Mesa Journal, Page 3 Reviewer puts tray in upright position for Flightplan On-campus Interview Entertainment Review by Amber Navarette March 29 Enterprise Rent-a-Car Film Title: Flightplan Starring: Jodie Foster, Peter Sarsgaard, Sean Bean, Erika Christensen and Greta Scacchi Most movies of the surprise twist genre end up falling short of my expectations. Flightplan is not one of those movies. At the same time, if you usually dislike very suspenseful movies that worry you so much that you wish the film would end (as I do), you will enjoy Flightplan—the movie was just suspenseful enough. The movie depicts the struggle of aircraft engineer Kyle Sherin (played by Jodie Foster) as she searches for her daughter, Julia (played by Marlene Lawston), aboard a commercial air flight destined from Germany to the U.S. The mother and daughter were traveling to America following the death of Sherin’s husband. In her frantic search, Sherin is confronted by U.S. Air Marshal Gene Carson (played by Peter Sarsgaard), as well as the plane’s Captain Rich (Sean Bean) and his flight crew. As the movie progresses, Sherin finds herself battling not only Carson and Rich, but also her sanity. The cinematography of Flightplan was masterful and the acting was great. Both Foster (The Silence of the Lambs, Contact) and Sarsgaard (Dead Man Walking, The Skeleton Key) gave riveting performances. Most of the movie was visually dark and claustrophobic, adding to the suspense and feel of the film. Its careful pace brings to mind classic horror/suspense films (such as anything directed by Alfred Hitchcock). I would rate Flightplan as a must-see. I give Flightplan five out of five stars. 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. UT Permian Basin Career Center Recruiting for interns and management trainees (all majors considered) UT Permian Basin alumni are also eligible to interview Note: you must RSVP to the UT Permian Basin Career Center (552-2633) before participating in on-campus recruiting events.

I would like to finish my education towards a career in pharmaceutical sales. I have done some research and all the job postings have a prerequisite of either a BS or a BA. Does it matter if the degree is in Business, Marketing or Biology? Once again, I am just getting started on a new career path and I would like some information on what I need to do. I do not have any basics at this time and being that I am going to change paths, I would basically be starting all over again. I do have some college credit towards a Criminal Justice degree, but I did not finish. Any information would be helpful. Thank you for your time. -TS TS, I actually went straight to the source with this one. I posed your question to Pamela Hughes, a local pharmaceutical sales rep with Merck. Pam is responsible for a very broad West Texas area and has been in the business for quite some time. She indicated that her company usually gives no preference to any one major, but the three that you pointed out in your letter would all provide you with (in her words) an “excellent foundation” into the pharmaceutical sales industry. Hughes indicated that entry into the world of pharmaceutical sales is very “competitive,” but the rewards are also very great. She indicated that the typical Merck “college hire” has a very strong GPA and has a history of student leadership and involvement in campus extracurricular activities. She emphasized that a Biology or Chemistry degree would probably give you other options down the road in her company should you decide at some point to sidetrack sales and pursue other areas such as scientific research. There are also some companies that specialize in prepping students for careers in pharmaceutical sales. PharmExcel (www.pharmexcel.com) is one such company. PharmExcel offers various seminars around the country and also offers a computer-based training program that can be purchased with a CD-ROM. Neither is cheap. According to their website, the live presentations run about $275 and the CD-ROM series are around $225. I’ve had no dealings with this company, so I can neither advocate nor dismiss it.
