versity currently has listed
openings for only a small num-
ber of vital personnel, such as a
licensed vocational nurse for
the Student Health &
Wellness Center and several
administrative assistants.
There is also an opening for an
experienced attorney to serve
as a vice chancellor and gener-
al counsel for NT.
Meanwhile, across campus,
the effects are being felt in
departments where emer-
gency measures have not yet
been approved to fill vacan-
cies.
"We will probably use
adjuncts and teaching fellows
to cover teaching," said Bob
k i 11am, administrative services
officer for the biology depart-
ment, when asked what would
happen if two of the depart-
ment's faculty positions cur-
rently in question are left
frozen. "Research will simply
not get done, and grants will
be put on hold."
Killam also said that with a
smaller faculty there will be
fewer openings for accepting
graduate students.
The plan to use adjuncts is
not unique to the biology
department either.
"While we can [use
adjuncts] once in a while, we
do not like to make it a habit,"
said Jared Hazleton, dean of
the college of business, which
currently has a faculty position
and a staff advisor position in
contention.

LLC. was formed in Oct. 2001
by the family as a service to
provide landlords a simple way
to list their properties and find
quality tenants.
In Nov. 2002, Romanek
created www.offcampusnet-
work.com, a nation-wide Web
service based in New Jersey,
for off-campus housing in col-
lege towns.
ZTA
While the Web service is
still in the beginning stages,
Romanek urges students look-
ing for off-campus housing to
frequently visit the site.
"We are aggressively mar-
keting to a variety of college
sites and real estate sites,"
Romanek said in a telephone
interview.
"I just ask that students visit
the site every so often even if
they don't find what they were
looking for. It may be available
for them at a later date."

Various techniques of Eishinryu, as well as other martial arts, are taught weekly at the Dojo by John Ray
SWORDS
FROM PAGE 1
Both arts originated in
Okinawa, one of Japan's south-
ern islands.
"This Dojo is one of a
handful of very traditional
kind of Japanese schools in the
United States," Ray said.
Ray's introduction to the
world of the martial arts began
in his sophomore year in high
school, when a car accident
made it difficult for him to pur-
sue his love of regular sports.
A friend showed him a
karate kata (a series of tech-
niques) in a stockroom at
school in 1968.
"It looked so powerful, fast
and so focused," Ray said. "I

was hooked."
Ray was so dedicated to his
love of the martial arts that in
1974, he spent a year in
Okinawa training under Seiyu
Shinjo, a direct descendent of
the founder of the Uechiryu
school.
He returned to Japan in
1981, to spend another nine
years teaching English to sup-
port his family while studying
Eishinryu.
Today, after more than 30
years, Ray fulfilled his dream
of opening his own dojo (train-
ing school) in Denton.
Ray said his goal is to train
body, mind and spirit. He said
this goal is not one of winning
physical fights, but to defeat a
more dangerous enemy: the
self.
"It's like having a place to
come when you're angry,"
Amanda Kreshak, one of the
students at the Dojo, said. "It
makes you figure out your
problems."
Ray is also an instructor at
NT's Intensive English
Language Institute, teaching
English to foreign exchange
students.
Ray says that his experience
in Japan makes him sympa-
thetic to the struggles of his
students because he remem-
bers what it is like to jump into
an entirely new culture and
language.
"I really admire the stu-
dents who have the courage to
do it," Ray said. "I don't know
if people know how good the
IELI program is. It's one of the
best in the country."
Assisting Ray at the Dojo is
Jack Bieler, who teaches Jo,
the traditional Japanese art of
fighting with staves, and
Aikido, another form of hand-
to-hand combat.
Ray currently holds the
ranks of Nanadan (seventh
degree) in Eishinryu laido and
Godan (fifth degree) in
Uechiryu Karate.
Located just off the
Courthouse-on-the-Square,
the Dojo offers lessons on
Mondays, Tuesdays and
Thursdays in the evening and
on Saturday mornings. Other
classes meet at different times.

the Dojo's Web site at

Another resource for NT
Students seeking post-gradu-
ation employment is the
Student Employment and
Career Services Center.
W7hile the center does not
place students, they offer job
posting, meetings with
employers on campus and
strategies for job searching.
According to Dee Wilson,
assistant director of the
employment center, one of
the most important things
about trying to secure a posi-
tion with a prospective
employer is knowing about
the company.
"A lot of students do not
realize that they need to be
prepared before interview-
ing, [and to] research the
company where they are
applying and think about
why they want the job,"
Wilson said.
