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/

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.

The Annual Honors
Convocation will be held at
2 p.m., April 13 in the UT Permian Basin Mesa Building
Courtyard. 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

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

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.”

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?

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.
The preceding column is a satire, which is defined as a “literary work in which human vice or folly is
attacked through irony, derision or wit.” A column reflects the views and opinions of the author or
authors of a piece and not necessarily those of The Mesa Journal or UT Permian Basin.

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.

Career Corner with Tony Love
I am looking to return to college for a BS degree in either Business or Biology. 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.
