CAMPUS CARRY

UNT debates campus carry

By Rachele Blick Staff Writer @rachele_blick The university heard from the UNT community Tuesday and Wednesday nights in the first of several scheduled open meetings set up for students, faculty and staff to have their opinions acknowledged before the Campus Carry Task Force, which was appointed by UNT President Neal Smatresk.

The task force heard from students Tuesday and staff members Wednesday.

Much of the focus was on gun free zones, questions about how this policy will make students and faculty safe, and the difference between open carry and campus carry. Others were concerned about the safety of dorms and if non-collegiate sporting events will be gun-free zones.

Committee chair Eric Fritsch began the speech with a slideshow concerning the bill and UNT. He put emphasis on the effective date of the policy for campuses, which will begin Aug. 1, 2016.

He also placed emphasis on the CHL holders themselves.

“UNT cannot revoke the right of a CHL holder to carry on campus,” Fritsch said. “CHL holders are law-abiding citizens.

They have to get licenses.”

“What we need to change is, let’s go have some fun,” Canales said.

“That’s what we have to do. And when it happened four or five years ago, I tried to make it as fun as possible, and our kids responded. I hope they’ll do the same.”

This will be Canales’ second stint as interim head coach of

the Mean Green. The offensive coordinator was also given the job midway through the 2010 season when then-head coach Todd Dodge was fired after a 1-6 start to the year.

Before he was named interim head coach, Canales served as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, a position he has held since he arrived at North Texas in 2010.

Naked and unafraid: Life as a nude figure model

By Kyle Martin Staff Writer @Kyle_Martin35

Almost every art major at UNT is required to take beginner and intermediate figure drawing classes. Students learn how to correctly draw shapes, proportions and virtually every inch of the human body.

But they need bodies to draw, and that’s where Jared Friz comes in.

Friz, a computer science junior, has found his niche in nude figure modeling. He will walk into a room full of art students, disrobe and strike a pose. He allows students to inspect and draw every wrinkle, scar and dimple on his naked body from all angles of the room.

“You want to make it

interesting,” Friz said. “You don’t just want to stand there.”

He is one of many figure models at the university who has applied and been selected as a subject for the art program’s figure drawing classes. The program looks for all different kinds of body types, seeking out the ones that are unique and interesting.

But being a figure model is no simple task. Poses can last anywhere from five minutes to an hour, and the amount of fidgeting must be kept to a minimum.

“If you’re going to be doing a 20-minute pose, don’t throw your arms over your head,” Friz said. “ They’d rather you do something slightly less interesting and not be fidgety

After completing her undergraduate degree for liberal arts, Onaiwu immediately began work for her Master’s degree for music education. In August 2014 Onaiwu visited Nigeria with her parents and informed the coordinator of music education, Vicki Baker, of her impending absence from classes during

Some sexual assaults not reported to campus The Clery Act requires universities to report to the wider campus community when a sexual assault occurs on campus, but not all assaults need to be reported to the student body, multiple UNT administrators said.

The Annual Security and Fire Safety Report sent out to campus Sept. 29 reported sex offenses in a new way. It now discloses sex offenses in four categories: rape, fondling, incest and statutory rape.

There were 12 rape cases in 2014, according to the report, but the campus community was not alerted at the time of the respective incidents.

“If you have two people that are in, say, one of the bars on Fry Street and they get into a argument and they know each other, is that assault a threat to the campus community as a whole?

Probably not,” UNT police chief Ed Reynolds said. “But let’s say we have a student who leaves the library late at night and they’re robbed on the way to a residence hall.

In that situation, we don’t know who the perpetrator is or if the victim was chosen randomly, so that’s part of a larger issue.”

The criteria for a crime alert to be sent out is that the crime must be timely and

TIMELINE

As the Student Government Association debates on whether to allow the Fuzzy’s Taco Shop within the University Union to serve alcoholic beverages, there is some friction among the student legislators.

Some point out the proximity to Fry Street and raise concerns for public safety, while others seek to avoid overstepping the rights of those who are of legal drinking age.

Fuzzy’s may serve alcoholic drinks to those of age. Although these would be available in the restaurant in the Union, SGA members believe UNT will not become a wet campus by allowing alcohol to be served and consumed elsewhere.

At last week’s meeting, senators on the Alcohol Resolution Committee said they plan to research tactics and address issues on all sides of the debate.

SGA Alcohol Resolution Committee chairman and College of Arts and Science senator Aaron Lara hopes to limit consumption to one drink per student a day.

“I think students should be allowed to have a margarita with their meal, but I don’t think it should be allowed just anywhere on campus,” Lara said.

Blessed Onaiwu, a TWU graduate student of music education, recalled her students’ smiling faces as they whistled through recorders for the first time in a dilapidated Nigerian elementary school.

A year ago, Onaiwu discovered Owina Primary School while visiting her childhood home alongside her parents. Her encounter with the students there would inspire Operation Owina, a charity project created with the goal of collecting enough school supplies for all 400 students at Owina Primary School. The project would also introduce music education to Nigerian elementary students for the first time.

“When I opened that box of recorders, the children didn’t really know what to expect,” Onaiwu said. “For a school that’s literally falling down and money is a serious issue, it was like Christmas for them.”

The Student Government Association has been operating this semester with numerous Dalton LaFerney | News Editor vacant seats in its Student Senate. The underrepresentation laferneyd@gmail.com of the undergraduate student population is a concern for Kristen Watson | Visuals Editor student legislators, and comes at a time when SGA is working to kristenwatson2@my.unt.edu increase its presence on campus.

Scott Sidway | Sports Editor Engineering junior Alejandro Rivas said underrepresentation s.sidway@gmail.com in the association could pose serious issues.

Julian Gill | Associate Features Editor “I do not feel the presence of SGA at all within the College juliangillmusic@gmail.com of Engineering,” Rivas said, “especially since there’s only one Hannah Lauritzen | Design Editor voice speaking on behalf of the hlauritzen88@gmail.com whole program.”

The Student Constitution Harrison Long | Editorial Writer says the senate is supposed to consist of 45 senators, but the HarrisonLong@my.unt.edu senate currently has 33 student legislators representing their Linda Kessler | Copy Editor colleges.

Academy of Mathematics and Science. According to the Student Constitution, it is required that each school, college and academy be appointed at least one senate seat.

“It’s hard to fill seats when those students are mostly outside of the UNT community,” SGA director of student affairs Dawaelyne Jones said. “We would welcome anyone from the College of Information that wants to represent their college, but it’s difficult when most of their classes are online.”

For fiscal year 2016, SGA received a budget increase from the Student Services Committee, a committee on which former SGA president Kam Willard served as chair. In FY15, SGA was given $104,942. In FY16, the budget shows $122,113 for the organization.

Jones said SGA vice president Chris Lee reached out to TAMS at the beginning of the fall semester, but Jones is unsure of how those students should be represented. He also said it takes effort to be a senator and students should know what they are getting into.

“We want engaged people that want to make UNT better,” Jones said. “The last thing we need is to appoint senators who just want a label for themselves. You’ve got to work if you want to be there.”

Jones said students are interested in SGA, but the process of being appointed to a senator position often causes them to change their minds.

SGA has been operating with 31 occupied senate seats this semester and are in the process of appointing new ones. The association is also disbanding the House of Representatives. Paulina De Alva | Staff Photographer and ID numbers of 25 students from their respective colleges.

If a student wants to represent a different college than his or her own, they must get the same information from 50 students in that college.

SGA is composed of executive, legislative and judicial branches.

Along with the Senate, the House of Representatives complete the legislative branch. Criminal justice senior Manolo Munoz said he was a member of the house.

It is uncertain whether the house will be a part of SGA moving forward, as several SGA members have said they want to disband the chamber.

“I think the idea of having a House of Representatives for student organizations in SGA is a good idea,” Munoz said. “It could

do great things.”

The house is comprised of 40 delegates from registered student organizations. The house is intended to check the senate and executive branch and has the authority to sponsor senate legislation on behalf of student organizations. The house does not produce legislation.

According to the by-laws, the executive branch is expected to host the UNT SGA Student Leadership Summit during spring semester. During this summit, all registered student organizations are encouraged to send one representative and one nominee to contend for a seat in the house.

Jones said the student body will be able to vote on a referendum on whether or not to

remove the house from SGA’s legislative branch.

“SGA is focusing on bringing the senate up to par,” Jones said.

“I personally feel that a House of Representatives doesn’t help the association at all. It’s difficult to deal with both bodies when one doesn’t have a purpose.”

Munoz said he has nothing but respect and admiration for SGA and that they use every minute of their meetings to discuss what is best for the student body. He also said the house was the only arena on campus where student organizations came to work together.

“I only wish it was given a chance to do what it was actually supposed to do,” Munoz said.

“Cutting down doesn’t seem like the answer.”

CAMPUS CARRY TOWNHALL MEETINGS

For students Oct. 20 at 12 p.m. in Gateway Center 035

SGA is debating how much responsibility to put in the hands of the student body.

A proponent of serving alcohol in Fuzzy’s Taco Shop, College of Arts and Science senator Amber Herrington believes it should be left to the students to decide.

“It’s not the university’s job to tell our legal drinkingage students when they should and shouldn’t drink alcohol,” Herrington said. “Especially now that we are allowing it at the football games.”

Opponents of drinks on campus anticipate some students might abuse the system by giving underage students alcoholic drinks.

“I’m sure that occurs offcampus,” College of Arts and Sciences senator Mia Muric said. “But if UNT employees were to be held responsible, I don’t think that’s a risk we’re going to take.”

SGA intends to be sensitive to those suffering or recovering from alcohol abuse.

With the Eagle Peer Recovery organization, a derivative

of the Collegiate Recovery at UNT, the senate will be sensitive toward students suffering or recovering from alcoholism.

“We don’t want to alienate our students who have addiction,” Herrington said, “which is why SGA supports EPR so much.”

The peer-recovery organization is funded by SGA’s Eagle’s Nest Funding.

To guide them in their voting, the senators will analyze crime statistics and reports associated with

intoxication. Some believe limiting consumption to about two to three drinks per meal will not greatly affect a student.

Using Fry Street as an example of having alcohol at easily accessible locations, some senators will take into account the possible danger associated with alcohol’s effects.

“With or without alcohol, I know a lot of students don’t feel safe just wandering around Fry Street or walking to and from campus late at night,” Muric said. “All of the senators I’ve spoken to have disagreed on behalf of my arguments, so

I do feel, right now, that I am a minority. But I’ve spoken to quite a few students within my classes and they feel like we shouldn’t have this privilege.”

Muric plans to table with her college to inform students. This action will also let them know SGA has been considering all angles of the topic.

She also hopes to speak with newly appointed UNT police chief Ed Reynolds on safety concerns pertaining to students drinking in the restaurant.

“I feel like they think that we don’t hear [students’] voices enough,” Muric said. “We have a lot of resources we haven’t been using until this year.”

FAFSA

FAFSA process to be less difficult for students

NTDAILY.COM | PAGE 3

PTSD, gun-free zones and campus carry at UNT CAMPUS CARRY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

By Linda Kessler Copy Editor @LindaKessler Students applying for financial aid will be able to file and receive FAFSA awards earlier than usual if changes announced by President Barack Obama take effect for the 201718 academic year.

Changes will include allowing students to submit FAFSA applications sooner and letting them use earlier income tax information. For the 201718 school year, students will be able to file their FAFSA as early as Oct. 1, 2016 rather than the previous date of Jan. 1, 2017.

This means for the 2016 calendar year students will file two FAFSAs: the first on Jan. 1, 2016 for the 2016-17 academic year and the second on Oct. 1, 2016 for the 2017-18 academic year.

The other major change to the FAFSA process allows students to use income tax information from the “priorprior” year, meaning students filing for 2017-18 aid will be able to use tax data from 2015.

This change will allow many students to use the IRS data retrieval tool when filing their FAFSA because the tax information they are using has already been processed.

“Moving to ‘prior-prior’ tax information will eliminate students and their parents from having to delay completion of the FAFSA because of their tax situation,” said Lacey Thompson, director of operations for UNT Student Financial Aid and Scholarships.

“Being able to access the tax information from the IRS when a family is ready to complete a FAFSA will hopefully positively impact FAFSA completion rates throughout the nation.”

According to a White House Office of the Press Secretary fact sheet, millions of enrolled college students who would be eligible for federal aid don’t even apply. They believe this is due to the Jan. 1 FAFSA start date and the timing of tax season.

Thompson said UNT SFAS anticipates the changes to positively impact both incoming and continuing students.

“Incoming students would be informed of their financial aid awards earlier, which could help them make their decisions earlier on where they want to attend,” Thompson said.

“Continuing students would be able to make plans earlier for future semesters if they knew their financial aid awards earlier.”

Vice president for enrollment Shannon Goodman said there’s a “wait and see” aspect to how these FAFSA changes will impact UNT and its students.

“Our hope is that it improves timeliness of students being able to file and us being able to get information back to them. The key is still in the students… they still need to be vigilant themselves in ensuring they complete the process,” Goodman said. “But certainly it has an advantage, in theory, for students and families to understand how much aid they’re going to get, what the cost is and what they need to plan for.”

Universities across the nation are aware of the FAFSA changes, but as for the implementation of those changes and the effects they will have, they are still looking for answers from the U.S. Department of Education.

Goodman anticipates information from the Department of Education at the December Federal Student Aid Conference. She said UNT will send representatives to the FSA conference, as it does every year.

“We are constantly trying to stay connected and make sure we have the latest information,” Goodman said. “I would say I hope to hear earlier than December. The more lead time we have, the better prepared we can be and the better we can mend our processes and provide the best services for students.”

UNT Campus Carry Task Force chair and criminal justice professor Eric Fritsch goes over the campus carry requirements at the first town hall style forum regarding the new law.

UNT biology freshman Austin Rodgers asks a prepared question during the first town hall style forum on campus carry at the UNT Gateway Center. Kristen Watson| DRC of the 51,000 people statewide who have been convicted of a felony, 158 of them were CHL holders.

To be eligible, both Fritsch and UNT police chief Ed Reynolds said, a carrier must be over the age of 21, cannot be convicted of a felony, cannot have a Class A or B misdemeanor and within the past five years cannot have a felony indictment.

“CHL holders are unlikely to violate the law,” Fritsch said.

Reynolds said only the police can ask students if they are a CHL holder. It is illegal for UNT administrators to ask CHL holders to identify themselves.

Fritsch said the university will notify the campus community on which buildings and areas on campus will be gun-free zones.

After Fritsch presented the slideshow, he opened the floor to questions.

Most of the questions were on matters of campus safety, gun-free zones and how to inform people on gun safety measures.

The International Center director Olga Grieco suggested making Marquis Hall a gun-free zone. She argued that some people may misinterpret the campus carry law and think anybody, even those without a CHL, are allowed

to carry on college campuses.

A few people asked about sporting events and whether athletic arenas will be gun-free zones, or if the new law will affect tailgating or intramural sporting events.

Fritsch said the task force will consider making Apogee Stadium a gun-free zone only when the football team is playing, though nothing official has been determined.

Information technology employee Christian Giesecke, who is a CHL holder, explained the pressures on CHL holders and their responsibility to the

“It is a step above a normal crime as a CHL holder,” he said. “We are taught to be held responsible for anything, and we are liable if someone gets shot.”

He added that he would not be comfortable to be allowed into a private business, labs with chemicals or children areas and wants those places to be gun-free zones.

SHOOTING

Academics and experts discuss mass shootings

By Rhiannon Saegert Senior Staff Writer @Missmusetta Two weeks after the Umpqua Community College shooting in Oregon that resulted in 10 killed and nine wounded, questions about the nature of mass shootings, their frequency and why this kind of violence has become so prevalent only seem to grow more complicated.

Though associate dean for assessment and academic reporting Tracy Dietz now works in UNT’s College of Business, she is a quantitative sociologist who has studied medical sociology, domestic violence and social inequality. Dietz said although shootings have come into the spotlight, they aren’t as common as the general public might think.

“They’re just looking at all mass killings with weapons, because it seems so frightening to them, makes so little sense, and the victims seem so random,” Dietz said. “It’s a terribly frightening thing to people because they can’t control it.”

For example, the FBI reported a statistically significant increase in active shooter situations, but these instances don’t always have victims and aren’t always widely reported.

“The more likely thing that could happen to you is to be shot by a significant other or during the commission of some other crime, like a robbery,” Dietz said. “Mass shooting, active shooter situation and spree shooting are actually three different things. Researchers distinguish between those three kinds of events. I don’t think the general public does.”

Dietz published a report titled “An Examination of Violence and Gender Role Portrayals in Video Games” in 1998, a year before the Columbine High School shooting that claimed 13 lives. The shooting prompted a moral panic over violence in popular culture.

“That was not the point of the research I was doing. For a small subgroup of people who are already at risk, the exposure to it in a video game may simply support that risk,” Dietz said. “Otherwise, if it was actually causing it, you’d have thousands of [shootings] a day, given how many people play video games.”

Dietz said by the time a child reaches the age of 18, it is estimated they will have witnessed over 100,000 murders through different types of media.

“That exposure may cause us to be desensitized to the horror and consequences of violence, but it doesn’t actually cause us to run out and shoot someone,” she said.

Dietz said the increase in incidents began in the 80s, when gun manufacturers began producing more automatic and semi-automatic weapons to boost sales.

“You can’t shoot a lot of people in a short period of time with a 12-gauge,” Dietz said. “But weapons that are automatic, semi-automatic or assault weapons became readily available.

The Internet increased that. Even if you purchase a semi-automatic, there are instructions on the Internet for how to retro-fit it into an automatic weapon, even though it’s illegal.”

During the same decade, Dietz said, the federal government began to de-institutionalize mental health facilities and lower federal funding for mental health programs.

“What we know now is that once they de-institutionalized, the homeless population went up, because you put people out on the streets with a prescription and said, ‘Here, take your meds,’ Dietz said.

Around the same time, we started to see incarceration rates go up.”

She said though the vast majority of people with mental illnesses are not violent, those who are may not get the help they need until it is too late.

Dietz said there’s very little longterm research on the phenomenon, and spotty records of mass shootings, barring the last few decades, make it even harder to say for sure if the frequency of mass shootings has significantly increased.

“We may know about it while it’s still happening,” Dietz said. “In the 1930s people saw it in newspapers. If something happened in a particular place, it might not even get out to anyone else.”

Psychologist Peter Langman, author of “Why Kids Kill: Inside the Mind of School Shooters,” said the news media’s treatment of these shootings matters in terms of whether it directly inspires copy-cat crimes.

He said he could see a shift from focusing on the perpetrators to the victims in recent years.

“With Sandy Hook in 2012, the coverage focused very much on the suffering of the community,” Langman said. “Even if you want to name the perpetrator and provide some information, you don’t have to go into details. If they focus more on the sadness and grief, that’s a very different kind of coverage and

Data collected from Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund Meagan Sullivan | Associate Visuals Editor hopefully less likely to spur someone else to get the fame that goes with carrying out this kind of attack.”

In regards to campus carry, Langman said he doesn’t believe concealed weapons on campus will deter potential school shooters.

“Half the time, they are expecting to die anyway,” Langman said. “They expect they’ll kill themselves or be killed by police.”

Langman said there could be unforeseen problems if multiple people were carrying guns during an active shooter scenario.

“It’s easy to imagine, like in a movie scenario, a bad guy starts shooting, a good guy whips out a gun and then kills the bad guy. In real

life, it could play out very differently in multiple ways,” Langman said.

“When you’re in a life-and-death situation, there’s so much adrenaline pumping through you that your reason tends to go away, your fine motor skills tend to go away and your body is in fight-or-flight mode.”

Langman said his main concerns would be students mistakenly shooting one another in an attempt to stop an active shooter, students mistaking anyone with a weapon as a threat or even intervening police mistaking anyone carrying a weapon as the active shooter.

He said recognizing red flags and stopping the shooting before it starts should take priority.

Dean of Students Maureen McGuinness, who heads UNT’s CARE team, said faculty members are told to report any student concerns to the team.

“Sometimes students come out and directly report they are thinking of hurting themselves or that they have made some kind of attempt to self-harm,” McGuinness said.

“Sometimes we find it in their behavior, academic work or through friends or social media.”

She said if students see someone behaving in a way that seems dangerous, students can contact the Dean of Students office. If the problem is more urgent, students should contact campus police directly.

To preserve the integrity of the models, the program does not allow art majors to apply for the job. Friz is paid $15 an hour for his services, but he said nude modeling is more than a paycheck.

“What I think is important that makes you a good model, instead of someone just wanting to make a paycheck, is putting energy into your poses – wanting to be there,” Friz said.

“You don’t want to dehumanize yourself, but [you have to] make yourself an object.”

Figure drawing classes are held twice a week for three hours each session. Models circulate in and out of classes, and students will likely see a new model every other session, according to Friz.

New media junior Bethany Fout weighed in on what it’s like to work with nude models in a figure drawing class.

“At first it could be a little awkward, but once you get more into it, it becomes an everyday thing. You get used to it,” Fout said. “It’s really professional.”

Out of respect and professionalism for the models, there are certain rules put in place. Models cannot be photographed or touched, and the door must be closed once a model has disrobed.

The lack of interaction between models and students can be a bit strange for everyone.

“It’s a weird thing to not make eye contact with a group of people you’re in front of,” Friz said.

Figure drawing professor Jill O’Brien points out that there

is historical significance the university tries to tap into by using nude models.

“The biggest reason is that historically speaking, the nude figure has always sort of been the muse and sometimes may have been the idealized figure, if you look at Grecian statues” O’Brien said.

For Friz, there was more of a creative allure than historical appeal.

The junior sees importance in inspiring and creating something from pure imagination and has found the ability to do that with figure modeling.

“This is a way for me to be a part of the creative process, and it’s very important for a person to be able to find that artistic, creative outlet,” Friz said. “Also, it’s fun. I enjoy the challenge, and it’s something new.”

REVIEW

The Dose: ‘Suffragette’ a proponent for equal rights, past and present

By Nicholas Friedman Editor-In-Chief @NMFreed

In a small conference room at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City Sunday afternoon, director Sarah Gavron discussed the nearly decade-long process of making Suffragette, a film detailing a portion of the women’s rights movement in early 20th-century England.

“I didn’t learn about [suffragettes] at all in school, and what we did learn was marginalized,” Gavron said.

Starring Carrie Mulligan (Drive, The Great Gastby), Helena Bonham Carter (Fight Club, Alice in Wonderland), Brendan Gleeson (the Harry Potter series) and Meryl Streep (Into the Woods, The Iron Lady), the film is an exploration of what happens when a country is

conditioned to demean an entire sect of people. In this case, the sect is nearly half its population.

“I colored in a sheet when I was 13, and I spent a long time on the hat,” Abi Morgan, who wrote the film, said on her exposure to women’s suffrage in school. “That’s about it.”

The film is a period piece told to the best of Gavron’s ability, she said.

Stark, almost grainy scenes bring the world to life and offer a place of significant trauma and ultimate refuge for main character Maude Watts, played by Mulligan.

Watts is brought into the suffrage movement after years of work at a laundry, where she was abused verbally and physically by the owner.

Coworkers and friends who meet weekly at a pharmacy owned by Edith Ellyn (Bonham-Carter) and

her husband take her in.

From there, Watts deals with the distrust of her husband and the loss of her child as she pushes forward for women’s rights. She starts attending protests and becomes more aware of the need for a woman’s vote.

One scene takes place in the British Houses of Parliament, where Watts testifies on behalf of her organization. The scene is the first of its kind, as it was actually filmed on scene with the permission of Parliament members.

Streep plays Emmeline Pankhurst, who appears in short bursts throughout the film, mostly in newspaper clippings and photos on the walls. Pankhurst, the matriarch of the women’s suffrage movement in the film, works to rally her troops and make plans in secret.

After Friz finished his first standing sketch pose, he takes a break by reclining for his last pose of the day. Hannah Ridings | Senior Staff Photographer At the conference on Sunday, Helen Pankhurst, Emmeline’s granddaughter, discussed the influence her grandmother had on her life and touched briefly on the recent social media outrage for a Tshirt from the film branded with the words, “I’d rather be a rebel than a slave.”

But the bit of bad press for the film hasn’t hindered its impact.

There was a demonstration at the film’s England premiere by Sisters

Uncut, a U.K.-based feminist activist group focused on domestic violence.

At the film’s climax, the audience is made aware that even though women won the right to vote some years later (1918 for female householders over 30 and 1928 for all women over 21), the fight isn’t over for equal rights, and it may never be.

The credits roll with a solemn tone, a stark contrast from

the booming, suspenseful score throughout the film. A list of countries with access to women’s voting rights comes across the screen in chronological order, with 2015 being the most recent year.

“This was not a project about money. It’s never been about money.” Gavron said. “We have to get people of all backgrounds to start making films like this.”

Suffragette is in theaters October 23.

GRENADA

Global Grounds Cafe: A look into Grenada

By Anjulie Van Sickle & Sydney Wilburn

On Friday afternoon, accounting junior and Vietnam native Thao Nguyen stands in a busy hallway in Marquis Hall with a bright, welcoming smile.

“Would you like to come to our presentation about Grenada?” she asked passing students, gesturing toward the open classroom door.

The International Department, located in Marquis Hall, hosts events throughout the semester called the Global Grounds Café, where international students volunteer to educate their peers on the culture and traditional foods of

their home country. “[I come] first to learn about their culture, second to learn about their country and third to learn about their food,” Nguyen said.

The event allows international students to show their pride and love for their country. They also find ways to connect with one another.

“I’ve met a lot of great international students and I love hearing stories about where they came from and how they got here,” peer mentor and interdisciplinary studies junior Ashely Wilkinson said.

This Global Grounds Café presentation was about Grenada, a small island in the Caribbean. Before walking into the classroom, students picked up Grenada flags and handmade Grenada stickers.

Wilkinson sat at a table, welcoming students and checking them in. “[These presentations] are a way of acculturating not just the students, but [also] teaching others— the domestic students—about other countries,” assistant director of the international department Yunju Langran said. “Even international students get to learn about other countries and cultures.”

The Global Grounds Café start-

ed about three years ago when students began approaching staff in the international department with a desire to share their native cultures. All presenters at the Global Grounds Café volunteer to put the presentation together and will sometimes cook their own traditional foods.

“So far I think they really enjoy it, to even see that other people are interested in their culture,” Langran said. “It makes them so happy.”

Sociology doctoral student Giselle Greenidge presented her home country, Grenada. She stood in a bright red, yellow and green dress.

Greenidge presented Grenada’s history and described the current culture of the island. Grenada is known as the isle of spice because of the nutmeg and other spice exports. She showed videos of picturesque waterfalls and steel drum music.

“The make-up of the people is very multi-racial because you have French influences and the Spanish and also the British,” Greenidge said. “So that diversity influenced the language and how some of the villages were named.”

Greenidge is from a part of the

island called Saint David, she said, as she shared facts and answered questions about her home country with a permanent grin on her face.

“I wanted to share my culture with other people because usually when I tell people I’m from Grenada, they have no idea where that is,” Greenidge said.

After the presentation, students gathered in the lobby and waited for the traditional Caribbean food Greenidge had ordered from Dallas.

Kinesiology doctoral student Alan Chu sipped guava juice while standing in the lobby. This was his eighth time attending the Global Grounds Café.

“I am a person who values diversity, so I like learning about people,” he said. “And I like eating too, so I try the different foods.”

When the food arrived, students flocked around meat pies, fried plantains and jerk chicken.

They laughed over the intensity of the spices as they gathered around Greenidge and the Grenada flag for a photo.

The next Global Grounds Café will take place on Nov. 6 and will explore the culture and foods of Vietnam.

CABOOSE

Denton bicycle lover creates customizable ‘Caboose’

By Chad Robertson Staff Writer @Chadr0b

After pulling a scrapped Mount Shasta Legacy bike from a dumpster and revamping it back to life in 2011, Hayden Davis fell in love with bicycles.

Davis, a 22-year-old printmaker and biking aficionado, has innovated a way for people to carry whatever they can comfortably fit into a cubic foot of space on the back of their bikes.

Davis’ new product is called The Caboose, a customizable canvaswrapped milk crate that cyclists can attach to the back of their bikes.

“Everything you can fit in your backpack can fit into the box,” Davis said. “You can go to class with your books, go to the grocery store and have somewhere to put your gallon of milk and ride your bike without having to break your back.”

Davis immersed himself in bike culture after buying his first bike from Wal-Mart while attending college in Savannah, Georgia.

When that bike broke down after a few months, he pulled the Shasta Legacy bike from the trash and fixed it up. He now rides a 1993 Specialized Allez with a customized Caboose attached to the back.

“I’ve been interested in bikes for a few years, and I’ve just gotten more obsessed with them,” Davis said. “When you don’t have a car and you ride a bike all the time, you fall in love with the machine.”

Davis said he came up with The Caboose after realizing there was not a bike bag or box on the market that offered a cubic foot of space.

“There are bike bags that hold up to a few gallons, but they are floppy

and fall over,” Davis said. “They just aren’t as efficient.”

After attending the Savannah College of Art and Design and moving to Denton in fall 2013, Davis began working at a local printmaking studio, Eagle & Wheeler. From there, he was able to work and print on a variety of different materials.

“I originally just had a milk crate zip-tied to the back of my bike,” Davis said. “But then I thought, ‘What if my milk crate could look better, nicer and could be something people would want to buy?’”

He finally decided on a canvas cover because it looked nice when printed on and reminded him of Vans shoes. His girlfriend started helping out by sewing on the covers.

Davis’ product, which is being

As a supplementary project for her absence, Baker tasked Onaiwu with researching how music was studied in the local schools and how it was regarded in the culture.

“Never has a graduate studies project expanded to this level,” Baker said. “[Operation Owina] has caught even the attention of surrounding countries.”

School board members from Benin and Zimbabwe have reached out to Onaiwu with interests in kick-starting an international organization. Once her goal with Owina Primary School is met, she

For everyone else, the process for getting The Caboose will be completely customizable. Davis is planning a website with customizable templates where people can pick the colors of both the milk crate and canvas and upload a design.

“You can have it match your bike to the very last detail,” Davis said.

He said three bicycle stores around town have offered to sell The Caboose retail, and he wants people to be able to go into any store and have the same customizable experience.

All someone needs for The Caboose is a rack on the back of his or her bike, a few zip ties, and $50.

For people who already have a milk crate, the canvas covers will be sold separately and the overall price will

funded by Eagle & Wheeler, will be produced in Denton and then sold across Texas.

His end goal is to have a Caboose on every bike so that no one has to worry about how they will transport their stuff around. He even said he would keep a few extras in his car to donate to the homeless around town who have bikes.

Right now, one person oher than Davis has a Caboose. Denton resident Torrance Clark won it at Tuesday Bike Night’s Bike Prom after a raffle and said the extra cargo space changed his everyday traveling.

“The Caboose has proven a worthy adversary to a backpack, and I’m okay with that,” Clark said. “I grocery shopped with it today and had room for a couple of beers too.”

plans to establish a foundation that will aid several African elementary schools.

“I tear up every time I think about how this project has grown,” Baker said. “How the students call her ‘Auntie Blessed,’ and just looking at all the supplies we’ve begun to gather.”

Back home, Operation Owina has caught the attention of several organizations within TWU’s College of Music, and at the forefront of these organizations is the Student Association for Music Therapy. The organization has held bi-weekly workshops every Thursday since September, crafting

homemade “egg-shakers.” It plans to donate at least 400 shakers to the students at Owina Primary School.

Student leader Jamela Brown said the workshops attract at least 30 people a week from several majors at TWU, and the group is only one quarter from reaching their goal.

Upon listening to a presentation Onaiwu made for Operation Owina, the Student Association for Music Therapy was inspired to work toward a goal that shared the same mantra of how impactful the art of music is.

“Being music therapists, we know how critically important music is to everybody,” Brown said. “Even the deaf can make music by sensing vibrations. It’s a potent form of expression, and we love the gift that Blessed has given the students at [Owina Primary School].”

Backpacks and school supplies collected for children rest against a wall until Onaiwu takes them to Nigeria on her next trip in November.

Onaiwu spent weeks with the students at the school. When she left, she was met with cries of disappointment lamenting the departure of their “Auntie Blessed.”

Onaiwu asked the students what the best possible gift she could give them upon her return was.

The students were excited by the prospect of new pencils, journals and backpacks.

She was shocked by such a simple request for items essential to any student.

be deducted.

“With a product this nice and custom-made, $50 is a totally fair price,” Davis said.

Since the website is not up yet, Davis encourages interested customers to inquire on The

Caboose’s Facebook page to get more information.

“There’s a huge bicycle community in Denton who just live and do everything on their bikes,” Davis said. “The Caboose is for them.”

Hayden Davis shows off the first ever caboose on the back of his bike.

Meagan Sullivan | Associate Visuals Editor Onaiwu said. “They had the same excitement my kids get from the latest PlayStation or iPhone.”

As supply demands have increased, Operation Owina has hit the ground running, Onaiwu believes. But her love for music has bolstered her dedication to the project and the children.

“Considering how music has affected me, I was obviously shocked to learn that the students were never formally introduced to musical fundamentals,” Onaiwu said. “They had no way to express the creativity they already have.”

She recalled hearing the students whistle the song “Hot Cross Buns” through their homemade recorders.

Onaiwu discovered some of the students went off on their own, gathered pumpkin sticks and punctured holes in them to create makeshift instruments.

“They were so delighted to discover the sound that came from poking three holes through the sticks,” Onaiwu said. “I want to be able to give them that gift and see those big, bright smiles. I want to see what they do with it.”

Interim head coach Canales looking to inspire football program NEW COACH CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Canales said. “And I’m hurting.

I am. So what am I going to do?

I’m going to pick myself back up.

I’m going to keep fighting. That’s what Coach Canales is about.

And I’m going to try and bring that back to this program.”

Graduate assistant Mason Y’Barbo is as familiar with Canales as anyone that plays for the Mean Green. Y’Barbo, a former offensive lineman, played for Canales when he was interim head coach in 2010 and then for McCarney in 2011. He said the two have their own style and own way of running a football team.

“Coach Mac, you know, he’s set in his ways. He has his expectations. He’s been real successful doing what he has done for a number of years,” Y’Barbo said. “Coach Canales, he’s bringing a whole new energy. He refuses to not let guys be enthused about what we’re doing. He really harps on doing everything as a team in order to win.”

Y’Barbo, a team captain and second team All-Conference USA player, said he can attest to Canales playing an up-tempo, aggressive offense.

“He’ll open things up,” Y’Barbo said. “He wants to take a shot every now and then, and you need to do that to keep the guys in it. Play to win. What we’ve been doing this season hasn’t been successful, so let’s try something that will hopefully light a spark.

If you take a shot and hit a big play that can change the whole game.”

But despite the new boss’ upbeat personality and passion for the game, emotions still linger from McCarney’s dismissal. With North Texas on a short week and playing the University of Western Kentucky on Thursday night, the timing of the decision left some players in tears.

Senior defensive back Zac Whitfield said McCarney was like a father figure to many players and the team will rally around their former coach the rest of the year.

“People were very emotional.

You got grown men crying,” Whitfield said. “But we have to come back and give it our all and make everything for [McCarney].”

Whitfield and the North Texas defense have been repeatedly torched throughout the season, ranking near the bottom of many defensive categories in all of NCAA’s Football Bowl Subdivision. The team also ranks last in scoring defense by giving up 49.2 points per game and total defense, allowing 547.4 yards per game.

Whitfield said Canales has emphasized several techniques in practice this week to help combat the highly potent Western Kentucky offense, which is on the opposite end of the spectrum as the Mean Green ranking atop C-USA in yards per game and

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2015 points per game.

The Hilltoppers come to Denton boasting senior quarterback Brandon Doughty, who ranks second in all of college football in passing yards. He also leads a passing attack ranked third in the nation, averaging over 10 yards per completion.

Canales said while Western

Kentucky is an excellent team, North Texas is playing with house money and has nothing to lose.

And although beating WKU is a daunting task, he is ready to lead North Texas into battle.

“It’s going to be like the Green Bay Packers coming in here.

It’s going to be tough,” Canales said. “But it is what it is. It’s life.

NTDAILY.COM We’re going to line them up on Thursday night and give it our best shot.”

Canales said becoming a head coach has always been his dream, although achieving it by watching his close friend receive a pink slip was not his most ideal path.

But Canales said he will not concern himself with what could

happen at season’s end and will instead turn his attention to trying to win football games.

“The first time, I wanted the job. I did.” Canales said. “But right now, all I’m concerned about is our kids. And I want them to have some success. I can’t worry about the future. I’m not promised tomorrow.”

TICKETS

Local bar owner offers football fans ticket package

By Ryan Vance Senior Staff Photographer @ryan_vance When walking into Oak St. Drafthouse and Cocktail Parlor or East Side Denton, customers will often spot a big-bearded man sporting a backwards hat, laughing, drinking or maybe playing ping-pong.

What many people don’t about John Williams, owner of both venues, is how big his heart is for the city of Denton and for the University of North Texas.

Williams put together a season ticket package for $100 that includes a ticket to all five North Texas home games, a T-shirt and a free beer at East

Side after every game. It also included a bus ride to and from the game against Southern Methodist University on Sept. 12.

“It’s a great value,” longtime friend Brent Archer said. “It provides the opportunity to have some of the best seats in the stadium.”

The reason Williams decided to offer the ticket package is a direct result from North Texas switching to Conference USA in 2013.

When the Mean Green moved to C-USA, Apogee Stadium was in violation of the conference’s seating regulations for having seats too close to the visitors’ bench. Because of these violations, students were no longer

allowed to sit in these seats, although the conference made an exception for the school’s inaugural season in C-USA. Williams helped change this shortcoming after the North Texas athletic department tried to reach out to young alumni wanting to attend the football games.

Deputy Director of Athletics Hank Dickenson approached Williams prior to last season about sponsoring a section to comply with the new guidelines.

“John is one of the most astute business people in Denton,” Dickenson said. “His clientele dovetails perfectly into what we want on a football home weekend.”

Williams had been a season ticket holder prior to offering the package and often reflects on the former success of the Mean Green. He particularly enjoys reminiscing on what he calls the “glory years” from when the team would often go to the New Orleans Bowl as members of the Sun Belt Conference.

This love for the program trumps the financial gain for Williams mainly because, well, there isn’t one.

“It’s a sponsorship for us,” Williams said. “We lose a little bit of money selling them at this price. It’s a good deal to go to the game and come back here and have a good time.”

Brent Archer graduated from UNT with a Masters of Public

Administration in 2013 and purchased the ticket package from Williams.

He said aside from getting a great value, the package offers something intangible that enhances the gameday experience.

“It’s a cause that I support,” Archer said. “Some of the best friends I have made are those from college that I went to UNT games with. This ticket promotion allows you to meet even more people outside of your normal gameday group. It’s these types of promotions and opportunities that are going to get more people into Apogee on Saturdays.”

The relationship between Dickenson and Williams is a product of growing up local. Williams graduated from UNT in 2004 with a degree in strategic management and entrepreneurship.

“It’s a perfect marriage in many ways,” Dickenson said. “This is a great way to keep [recent alumni] passionate about the Mean Green.”

Along with Dickenson, Williams has worked on projects via the Denton Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Main Street Board. They hope to keep this partnership alive, and they only see it becoming bigger and better in the future.

“I was born and raised here I have a lot of ties to the town,” Williams said.

“I haven’t left yet and I’ll probably never leave unless I retire somewhere else.”

HEDLUND’S ROOTS

Head soccer coach John Hedlund tells the team they need to work on finishing in front of goal ahead of their upcoming game on Wednesday Oct. 7, 2015.

Head soccer coach brings passion and drive to the Mean Green field

By Clay Massey Staff Writer @Clay_FC As a starting defender at Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, John Hedlund’s team was down 2-0 in a game where the winner would play in the 1983 national championship game.

But instead of hanging his head, the now head coach of Mean Green soccer put his team on his back, refusing to let his season end.

“I started to drift up-field. Here comes one goal, here comes another goal,” Hedlund recalled. “That was a day I will always remember because we ended up winning 4-2 and advancing.”

The Texas native scored all four of his team’s goals in that match, tying a national tournament record for most goals by one player in a single game. His performance helped spark interest from the United States National soccer team.

Hedlund also earned a call-up for Olympic qualification games and played in several tournaments as a defender on the U.S. squad.

It provided Hedlund a unique college experience, to say the least, as he said it was a rare occasion for someone from Midwestern State to play on a national team.

“It was kind of crazy back then,” Hedlund said. “You know, you’re going to college, then you’re going to South Korea, Finland, and Sweden all these places with the national team while college is going on. So you’re missing some school but the professors worked with me. It was a great experience for me. Going and playing in all these different countries was pretty special.”

But after missing his Olympic chances because of an injury, Hedlund forged a professional career as a defender in New York and the Dallas-Fort Worth area that spanned 12 years. He won two championships with the Dallas Sidekicks in 1987 and

Head soccer coach John Hedlund has his rings from all the championships he has been a part of throughout his career including his tenure with the Dallas Sidekicks. Colin Mitchell | Staff Photographer 1993 and one championship with the Richardson Rockets in 1991, while also finishing runner-up in the U.S Open Cup that same season.

Having gotten to an age where he could not be competitive as a player, Hedlund shifted his career to coaching. He got his first chance as a coach at the UNT as an assistant on the now dissolved men’s soccer program under head coach Richard Lowe.

He would then get the chance to start the women’s program from scratch in 1994. Hedlund began his winning ways as head coach, posting an 11-6-1 record in the program’s inaugural season in 1995. Over the next 20 years, Hedlund led the school to nine conference titles and coached 67 all conference players.

Hedlund is the only coach in the womens program’s history and has etched his name into the NCAA history books, holding the record for most winning seasons in a row by an active coach at 20 seasons.

His steady success mirrors one of his coaching idols – Sir Alex Ferguson of Manchester United. In 27 years with the Premier League

squad, Ferguson won multiple championships, similar to Hedlund in his 21 years at North Texas.

“You know I guess it’s very similar,” said Hedlund. “He was there for so long and won many titles, and that’s what we’re trying to continue to do here. I guess that’s why they’re my favorite team.

One of Hedlund’s many allconference players is senior goalkeeper Jackie Kerestine. In the midst of her redshirt senior season, Kerestine has spent five years with Hedlund and said no coach can compare.

“It’s different,” Kerestine said with a chuckle. “He’s a character.

He’s fun to play under. He knows what he’s talking about and he makes it a fun atmosphere. He says the funniest things. I love him.”

Senior captain and midfielder Lindsey Hulstein has been part of three of North Texas’ last four conference titles under Hedlund and understands the rarity of having a coach who has been with a program for so long.

“Not many programs, no matter what the sport is, have someone who

has been coach for 20-plus years,” Hulstein said. “I think obviously he knows what he’s talking about. We all really trust him. He prepares for the games really well, and it helps us.”

Hedlund’s winning precedent for North Texas soccer has become something his players channel year in and year out. It also helps him recruit quality talent consistently, which into the team’s sustained success.

Fortunately for the Mean Green, Hedlund has found a home with North Texas.

“I think I’ve given this program stability, foundation and tradition,” said Hedlund. “There’s a lot of history here. Recruits know about the level of excellence we shoot for year in and year out. Recruiting becomes a little bit easier because of what we’ve built here. The player that’s highly competitive, wants to win titles, wants to play a tough schedule and stay close to home to play in front of their families, they find this is the ideal situation.”

Twenty-four years ago, John Hedlund was hired as an assistant to Dr. Richard Lowe, the head coach of the NCAA men’s soccer program at North Texas. But the program was taken away after the 1993 season, leading Hedlund to accept head coaching duties for a brand new women’s soccer program at UNT. Over two decades later, Hedlund still holds the same position, and the possibility of a men’s soccer program revival remains doubtful.

Due to the Title IX gender equality rules put through by the NCAA, any addition of an official men’s program requires a women’s program to be added along with it. With thoughts of a new baseball program and recent renovations to Apogee Stadium and the Super Pit, adding a men’s soccer team is simply too big of an investment for North Texas to make anytime soon.

Before the program was stripped, the men’s Division I team put together three straight seasons without a losing record.

“The men’s program here was one of the top programs for years,” Hedlund said. “It was normally a top-20 ranked program with a lot of history and tradition.”

The men’s soccer team is now a club sport that competes and practices in both the fall and spring semesters. Current team president and integrative studies senior Rafael Dominguez said he doesn’t see a Division I program coming to North Texas for at least a decade, but his hopes remain high.

“I would absolutely love to see a DI program here in the future,” Dominguez said. “With our women’s team that we have here, we have such a strong base. A lot of these girls come from this area.”

Out of the 206 Division I men’s soccer programs across the country, Southern Methodist University is the only one in Texas. However, club soccer has proved to be a quality alternative for North Texas and many other neighboring schools.

The North Texas club team competes in the Northern Division of the Texas Collegiate Soccer League along with six other Texas schools, including Baylor University and Texas Christian University. Although North Texas has not earned a bid to nationals since 2002, it currently leads the division with 12 points and is looking to come out on top and earn a trip to the regional tournament for the fourth year in a row.

“A lot of our guys play for semi-professional outdoor and indoor teams, so the competitive level is intense here to say the least,” Dominguez said.

The team had around 80 students come to travel team tryouts this season and had over 120 participants last year.

The competitive nature of the club has been beneficial for the Mean Green women’s team as well, providing Hedlund with an unlikely scrimmage opponent right across the street.

Two international students strive for swimming and diving goals

By Brady Keane Staff Writer @BradyKeane3 After traveling a combined 6,483 miles away from home to attend North Texas and join the Mean Green swimming and diving team, sophomore Claudia Kitching and freshman Natalia Kwiatkowska have no plans to ease into life as Division I athletes in an entirely new country.

In fact, despite having lived in Texas and the United States for less than a year, the two have quickly adjusted to the culture and have high expectations for their inaugural season with the Mean Green.

“Everything is bigger in Texas,” Kitching said. “I want to make it to the NCAA [Championships] and get a school record as well in the 200 breaststroke.”

The goals and expectations for

the newcomers to the Mean Green swimming and diving program are certainly high, but their quick adjustment to life in the United States has been credited to the team atmosphere surrounding the girls.

Kitching joined the Mean Green after spending her freshman year at the Skema Business School in France, while Kwiatkowska attended Robert Bateman high school in Burlington, Ontario last year. “[The team] has been so helpful,” Kwiatkowska said. “Everyone in Texas seems to be more friendly as far as the team goes. Every body here is super sweet, and the entire team is always there to help you no matter what you need.”

Although the journey to Texas from Canada or France may seem to be an improbable one, head coach Brandon Bray said that the recruiting process for swimmers

outside of the country is not all that different.

“The recruiting for me is the same,” Bray said. “We look at anybody, anywhere, whether they are here or out of the country. The only difference is the procedural side.”

Grabbing the attention of coaches in the United States wasn’t a problem for Kitching and Kwiatkowska, as both swimmers built up a long list of accolades before joining the Mean Green this season.

Kitching qualified for the 2012 British Olympic Trials and placed third at the French Open Championships in the 200m breaststroke in 2015. Kwiatkowska set records in the 50m backstroke, 200m integrated medley and 400m integrated medley for the Burlington Aquatic Devilrays while also claiming top-five finishes in three events at the 2015 Provincial

Age Group Championships.

Despite the accolades, Kitching and Kwiatkowska enjoy the culture that Bray has established at North Texas that puts more focus on the team rather than individual results.

“Swimming in France is more individual,” Kitching said. “It’s more about yourself. Coming to North Texas and swimming more as a team is really enjoyable. People really push you, and it makes you want to swim faster not only for yourself, but for your teammates as well.”

That culture has grown and developed since Bray arrived to take over the program in 2013.

In addition to the emphasis that he places on teamwork, Bray has consistently stressed the importance of hard work in the classroom.

Last season, the Mean Green led Conference USA in the number of student-athletes earning honor roll

and academic medal designations for the second straight year. “[North Texas] had a really high GPA standpoint,” Kwiatkowska said. “It was the perfect choice for me.”

So far, both Kitching and Kwiatkowska have seen success through the early part of the season.

Kitching was a member of the team that won first place in the 200-yard medley relay against the University of Incarnate Word last weekend while also winning the 200-yard breaststroke over the Cardinals.

Kwiatkowska was on the team that combined for a first-place finish in the 300-yard backstroke relay at the North Texas Relays earlier in the season.

The Mean Green swimming and diving team will be in action again 3 pm, Friday Oct. 23, for a dual meet at Texas A&M in College Station.

“We get a lot of these kids that come out here and practice with us in the spring,” Hedlund said. “It’s a good matchup with my girls to play them in games in the spring to get ready for physical opponents that we’re going to play in the fall.”

The teams holds practices both semesters from 7 to 9 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Eagle Point Fields and are open to all North Texas students. For business junior Clay Pickler, the club team has provided him an opportunity to play a sport he loves close to home.

Pickler transferred to North Texas after spending time as a kicker at Southeast Missouri State University last year and Florida State University in 2013, the year the Seminoles won the national championship in football. “[Football’s] a lot more intense. It consumes your life,” Pickler said. “[Club soccer] comes with a lot more free time.

I really like this a lot. It’s a nice change of pace.”

In order to play on the travel team, players are required to pay dues of $100 to help pay for expenses that exceed the $2,000 budget allotted by the university.

Once gas money, hotel rooms and equipment among many other things are accounted for, Dominguez said expenses over an entire season have totaled up to $10,000 in recent years.

“Even if we do go far in things like regionals and nationals, we won’t have the money to go to these tournaments,” Dominguez said.

This semester, Dominguez has stepped away to take on head coaching duties after being the starting goalkeeper last year.

Although the team has flirted with hiring a coach, Dominguez is the team’s first full-time coach since the Division I program was disbanded.

Dominguez said if the club had more money to work with, hiring an experienced coach for the long haul may be a more realistic possibility.

“A lot of times, they’re not asking to be paid, but we don’t have the money to pay them if they were wanting to because of the budget that we have,” Dominguez said. “It would be completely voluntary.”

With a larger budget, the club team could likely find a coach quickly, especially with the amount of local talent in the Dallas Fort-Worth area. Among 29 members of the 10-2-1 North Texas women’s team, not a single one is from outside of Texas.

“North Texas is a huge region for high school soccer and club soccer,” Pickler said. “[Adding the program] would make this a school I’d want to come to versus other schools that don’t have soccer.”

While speculating on its future can be enticing, the club team remains focused on the season ahead. Dominguez said the team’s ultimate goal is to earn a bid to nationals in Phoenix, Arizona and will only worry about how to pay for travel if they qualify.

“If there’s any team that we’ve had in the past decade that can go to Nationals, it’s this one,” Dominguez said.

CITY PARC AT FRY STREET UPTOWN APARTMENTS U CENTRE AT FRY STREET

By Jeffrey Wechsler

Thinking back to the actions of college students over the last 50 years, is anyone actually surprised that the last line of defense against campus carry is a whole mess of dildos?

According to an organized Facebook event, on the first day of classes for fall 2016 semester,

Entertainment Listings

LY DIVERSION

students at the University of Texas at Austin “are strapping gigantic swinging dildos to our backpacks in protest of campus carry.”

Despite the occasion being 10 months away, more than 4,200 students have already pledged to participate as of Monday. While it’s true this is a small fraction of the university’s total enrollment of over 51,000, if the events ensuing press coverage have proven anything, it’s that size doesn’t always matter.

The Facebook post warns those who agree to participate do so at their own risk. The act of attaching a dildo to one’s backpack is a violation of some obscure obscenity law and could be considered public indecency.

all the while allowing legitimate concerns to fall on deaf ears.

And while the Dildo-carry protest can certainly be argued as a silly, knee-jerk reaction typical of college students wanting to lash out at the establishment, a valid argument exists beyond its offensive nature.

Those who have organized this event know this protest will have no effect on the law itself and will do little more than infuriate anyone who doesn’t immediately laugh at the sight or mention of a dildo. The students’ message is clear: Listen to us.

With concerns over the new law being raised across Texas, it is only a matter of time before controversy reaches UNT. With local town hall meetings on campus carry now taking place, students should ask themselves one question: Is this the tip of something bigger?

It’s difficult to decide what is more troubling: the obvious disconnect existent between lawmakers and their constituents, or that the Penal Code of the State of Texas specifically cites a dildo as an “obscene device” that is illegal to carry on the street. That means someone had to have done something with a dildo to warrant the clause. Huh. Beyond its satirical surface and the entertaining media coverage, this call-to-action sheds light on a deeper issue. Though not everyone is opposed to allowing guns to be carried on college campuses, there are enough people who feel their concerns are not being addressed that this demonstration has been made possible.

This rally is a direct result of legislators judging issues through the lens of their own political party rather than their conscience,
