Students can earn ESL
master's degrees through inter-
national partnership
A new dual master's degree
program that began this fall
allows students to simul-
taneously earn masters
degrees in English as a second
language from both NT and
the Universidad Autónoma del
Estado de México. It is the first
dual degree offered in partner-
ship by the two universities.
In July 2002, NT and the
Universidad signed an agree-
ment to collaborate on the
academic training of students
from both institutions and in
research projects in materials
science, environmental science,
physics and related fields. The
agreement called for both
universities to establish joint
postgraduate degree programs
in materials science, environ-
mental science and physics.

Grant funds research of genealoists behaviors
Editor's Note: The Daily is
republishing this article, which
originally appeared Oct. 24, to
correct erroneous information.
ByRandi Crowder
Intern
People wanting to research
their ancestors in Texas history
can access thousands of digi-
tally reproduced photographs,
letters and artifacts through NT's
digital library- the Portal to Texas
History.
NT libraries recently received
a two-year National Leadership
Grant for $448,548 from the
Institute of Museum and Library
Services to research the informa-
tion-seeking behaviors of gene-
alogists using the Portal to find
information.
Dreanna Belden, coordinator
for grants and development, said
the researchers will gather gene-
alogists' preferences and use their
feedback to improve the way infor-
mation is presented online.
"This means once we've gone
andmade changes to our interface,
the genealogists are going to have
a way to interact with the material
that's more specific to their need,"
Belden said.
The portal contains more than
200,000 digital images, including
photographs, newspaper articles,
documents, handwritten letters
and more.
The content for the site came
from more than 70 collaborative
partners, libraries and museums
involved with Texas history.
NT libraries plan to share the
results ofthe research conducted to
improve the interface for genealo-
gist researchers with other univer-
sities and libraries involved in the
digital library community
"Genealogists' information-
seeking behavior has never been
researched before in the context of
digital libraries," Belden said.
Belden also said the number of
people pursuing genealogy infor-
mation has grown over the years,
especially with the quick access
to information online.
She said more than 80,000
people use the Portal each month,
20 percent of whom are interna-
tional.
"Twenty years ago, you'd have to
physically go to a library and dig
through their shelves," she said.
The portal allows the user to go
directly to the content and specific
page number they are looking
for based on their search without
thumbing through pages.
"Genealogists are very avid
researchers who are willing to
go to great lengths to find infor-
mation," Belden said. "We're just
making it easier for them."
Cathy Hartman, NT libraries'
assistant dean for digital and infor-
mation technologies, said many
people don't realize that they have
these primary source materials
available.
"We hope it makes our inter-
face to the user better," she said.
"When we put these materials
online they're able to find them."

Dodge cites history of athlete s authority issues
Continued from page 1
co-captain Aaron Weathers
said Green had an easy-going
attitude.
"He's a good guy, I laugh
with him a lot and I could
call him my friend," Weathers
said.
Dodge explained that
Green's latest incident on
the sidelines Saturday was
the last straw of what was
a second chance given to
Green.
"It's not the only situa-
tion that happened," Dodge
said. "I have counseled with
the young man before on
some incidences that have
happened earlier in the
season and we had cleaned
the slate and started anew,
so this is not the first situ-
ation."
Although Green is no longer
able to practice or play for
the Mean Green this season,
his scholarship is still intact
for next season. NT athletics
can decide at a later time to
revoke his scholarship based
on the conclusions reached
at the end of their investi-
gation.
Dodge has not spoken
to Green since he filed his
complaint with the NAACP,
but welcomed the opportu-
nity to discuss the issue if
Green wanted.
Dodge has not spoken with
the team about why Green is
no longer with the football
program, saying that the full
details of the incident and
his subsequent suspension
should stay between Green
and himself.

learn how to adapt to indoor

DeMoss said. It also helped them
find jobs and new interests, learn
Engli sh and work through psycho -
logical issues.
Archen spoke about H.R. 3054,
a bill that expresses the interest
of the lost boys and girls to return
to Darfur. They believe they can
help rebuild their country.
"Maybe the United States
government will be with them
and together they can help the
situation," Archen said.
Chip Pitts, president of the Bill
of Rights Defense Committee,
explained the history of the civil
war in Sudan, the conflict in
Darfur and international law. He
said the Arabic minority, which
controls the government in Sudan,
is killing the black majority.
Pitts said the United States is
the only member of the inter-
national community to use the
term "genocide" in reference
to Darfur, but it has not done
enough to combat the situation.
He said the United States govern-
ment has donated $40 million in
human aid and recently signed a
resolution that will send 26,000
United States, United Nations and
African Union troops to Darfur.
But he also said the United States
is a bad example for the world
community because it believes
it can implement torture in other
countries as long as it is for "coer-
cion."
Students who want to learn
more about Sudan and want
ways to help out can go to http://
EnoughProject.org or http://
SaveDarfur.org, Pitt said.
"I think Darfur is a particu-
larly egregious issue," Pitt said.
"It's shocking that the interna-
tional community lets genocide
happen again, after the Holocaust
and genocides in Rwanda and
Cambodia. It's an issue close to
my heart and I think everyone
should do what we can to combat
it."

SAN ANTONIO (AP) - A
slaying suspect escaped from
jail by assuming the identity of
another inmate and was on the
loose for more than six hours
before authorities realized he
was gone, officials said. He was
still at large Monday.
The man who escaped, David
Sauceda, 27, walked out of jail
early Sunday morning when he
recited the personal informa-
tion of his cellmate, Michael
Garcia, according to the sher-
iff's department.
An unidentified person had
posted bond for Garcia, who is in
jail on a felony auto theft charge.
When officers went to retrieve
him, Sauceda stepped forward
and gave Garcia's serial number
to a jail employee, Bexar County
Judge Nelson Wolff said.
But Sauceda's fingerprints,
taken by a jail employee to verify
his identity, were smudged and
couldn't be matched to those
on file for Garcia, said Brian
Menges, director of jail admin-
istration.
So Sauceda was taken for an
additional fingerprint check
using the jail's Live Scan tech-
nology. Menges said Saucedo's
Live Scan fingerprints were
never compared to those on
record for Garcia.
"It's a whole series of errors
just like any other unfortunate
disaster," Menges said.
Wolff said he understood
the problem to be that the Live
Scan check of Sauceda's finger-
prints pulled up Sauceda's own
profile, including a photo, and
that when Sauceda matched it,
he was released.
"Somehow in there the
communication between the
two did not go well," Wolff said.
"It sounds like it's human error.
We don't know for sure."
Wolff said it appears Garcia let
Sauceda use his information, but
that a full investigation will be
done. "He's being questioned/'
Wolff said.
Menges said two employees
have been reassigned from
booking duties.
