ACTIVISM

SGA senator discovers, fights asbestos

MSA to aid Syrian refugees

By Lisa Dreher & Eline de Bruijn Staff Writers @lisa_dreher97 @debruijneline

By Chelsea Watkins Staff Writer @chelloo The Muslim Student Association is making efforts to raise funds for Syrian refugees who have become displaced during the domination of the Islamic State group.

The student association recently cancelled its henna fundraiser event because of a lack of volunteers, but plan on rescheduling the event for the spring semester.

The debate on whether to allow Syrian refugees into the United States has intensified following the Paris terror attacks in November.

The reluctance to admit refugees into the country came, partially, from fear of a similar Paris attack occurring within our country’s border.

Meryum Ijazi, MSA public relations chair, said denying refugees entrance into the country takes away their chance at finding peace. “[ISIS] wants them to stay under their power, but the refugees are desperately trying to escape,” Ijazi said.

“We should look past the labels and welcome those in need. They should not be denied their right to live in peace and dignity.”

SAVING DAX’S HEARING

In the midst of disease, the Thakkers remain strong

By Matt Payne Senior Staff Writer @MattePaper When Lisa Thakker was diagnosed with breast cancer in August of 2014, the tightlyknit Flower Mound community she had lived among for more than 10 years was wholly affected.

A single mother when she received the diagnosis, Lisa said her battle with breast cancer was a remarkably taxing time for her.

“I was tasked with raising my two children on my own, making sure they don’t jump on couches and go to sleep by 8:30,” Lisa said. “It was the most stressful period of my life I’ve ever gone through.”

The Thakker household is nestled in a quaint cul-de-sac surrounded by several shady trees and neighborhood children who played soccer together.

Every resident is accustomed to being on a first-name, familial basis with everybody who is a part of the block’s group. Community barbecues, yard sales and any activity integrating the community are frequent occurrences.

Without the persistent support of the neighborhood, Lisa said she doesn’t think she would be who she is today: a healthy survivor of cancer.

“We often leave our doors unlocked, and it isn’t uncommon for neighbors to just pop in for a visit,” Lisa said.

She also knows she wouldn’t be where she is without her 7-year-old son, Dax Thakker.

Dax, who was 5 at the time, would leave Lisa a series of notes through her illness. His well wishes and encouragement to get better soon were incentives for his beloved mother to do just that. In the spirit of a young boy, Dax wished for his mother to live.

“Dear Mom, I hope you do not dies!” one of Dax’s notes began. “I got this present to mac [make] you hape [happy].”

Now, two and a half years later, the tables have turned. Lisa, her family and the local community are all hoping for Dax’s recovery as he battles congenital cholesteatoma, a

Denton PD inquiring into sexual assault

By Jynn Schubert Staff Writer @JynnWasHere

At the beginning of November, the Lone Star Emmy Foundation held its annual ceremony honoring the best and brightest 2014-15 TV shows in Texas. One of the shows nominated was UNT’s own North Texas Television.

Converging broadcast media senior and executive producer for NTTV Priscilla Presley and her production team took home the Emmy for Best Student Entertainment Show for season nine of “North Texas Now Goes to Austin: The Finale.”

“The station sends in potential contest episodes or shows from all the entertainment shows we have here,” Presley said. “We got nominated, which our show was really excited about, and then they look through all the possible candidates.”

Presley said winning the Emmy had been a personal goal of hers.

Tiffany Miller wants the student body to know how much asbestos line the walls of campus buildings where her peers eat, sleep and study.

Because she has been unaware of the hazardous building material for so long, she now intends to alert the students of what’s inside walls across campus.

Universities are not required to notify occupants as long as the asbestos is encapsulated by walls made of layers of paint and plaster.

The Environmental Protection Agency has strict regulation standards for the containment of asbestos.

“As long as it’s not disturbed, it’s perfectly safe,” said Charlie Fox, the Risk Management director of environmental management. “It’s probably one of the most controlled areas that we have to deal with.”

Miller, who is a Student Government Association senator representing the College of Arts and Sciences, told the undergraduate government her plans to speak with her college’s dean, UNT Facilities staff and professors to explore whether there are necessary steps SGA and the university need to take.

“If it’s really as big of a problem as it seems to be per what I’m

bright, she was going through her pre-game routine as usual, warming up and taking practice shots. As she dove for a ball, her cleat got stuck in the grass, causing an awkward twist of her heel with her toe stuck the other direction.

Once she heard a snap of the bone, she collapsed.

“I sincerely thought it was just going to be a little stinger, and that with a good tape job, it would be good,” Kerestine said. “Of course, when we wrap it and I still can’t walk, I instantly knew I couldn’t play.”

After lying on the ground for 10 minutes, team trainers

guided her to the locker room for an evaluation. Through all the swelling, X-rays showed she had broken her fibula. Having suffered a torn ACL in 2013 and a broken face in the C-USA championship game last year, she would have to watch what would be the team’s final game from the sidelines for the third consecutive season.

Medication helped dial down the pain leading to surgery just one week later, but nothing could have prepared her for what would happen in the upcoming days.

Denton police met with a UNT student at Denton Regional Medical Center Monday, Nov. 23 to gather evidence and a statement on an alleged sexual assault that the victim said took place at a Nov. 20 fraternity event.

UNT administrators and Denton police have yet to announce if a UNT fraternity or its members were involved with the alleged sexual assault.

The university has launched its own investigation, but officials said the UNT police are not involved with it, nor the Denton police inquiry. UNT police officers are not involved because it is not certain whether it happened on university property.

The name of the victim has not been released, and the family has declined to comment. Denton police spokesman Ryan Grelle did not offer more information, citing an ongoing investigation.

“In general, should an outside law enforcement agency come to us and tell us that they received a report of sexual assault, obviously that is a criminal act that a law enforcement agency investigates on their own,” UNT spokeswoman Margarita Venegas said. “But from the university’s perspective, if students are involved, there’s the potential for a code of conduct violation.”

There were three registered fraternity events the night of the alleged assault, according to the Office of Student Activities.

Alpha Kappa Psi held a faculty appreciation luncheon, Phi Sigma Pi had a retreat, and Omega Psi Phi held a “Battle of the Sexes” against UNT’s Zeta Eta Deltas.

If confirmed, this would be the third sex-related incident to take place at UNT since October. A sexual assault was reported Oct. 5, and three counts of indecency with a child were reported Oct. 9.

MSA seeking donations for Syrian refugees

ACTIVISM CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, in a coalition of legislators around the country, has refused to allow refugees into Texas.

In his letter to President Obama, Abbott expressed apprehension about the refugee admission process, saying people wanting to attack the United States could be admitted with other people fleeing the Islamic State. Abbott cited the recent attack, also claimed to be an act by ISIS, at a Mohammed drawing contest in Garland.

Critics of Abbott’s

stance have pointed out that the state’s denial doesn’t mean it will be able to refuse refugees, as the decision lies in the hands of the federal government.

Ijazi believes that no one dislikes ISIS more than Muslims because they have guised themselves under the Muslim identity and manipulated the Islamic beliefs to stand for something not representative of the religion.

“What people need to understand is that after these attacks, fear exists

within Muslims too,” she said. “Muslims are also afraid of their attacks, since they are frequently attacking the Muslims all over the world.”

The Syrian refugee crisis has persisted for some time as civil war has affected the nation since 2011. During this conflict, ISIS began to rise and advance in power in the country. There are currently more than four million Syrian refugees, half of them adolescents, according to the United Nations Human Rights Council.

“A lot of these families are broken and children are traumatized from the conditions they are facing,” Ijazi said.

“Christian refugees or Muslim refugees, they are all trying to escape for freedom and a chance to live in peace.”

MSA meets at 6:30 p.m.

Tuesdays in Wooten 222 during the semester, but the room is subject to change for the spring. Membership is open to people of all beliefs.

SGA’s Miller: trying asbestos I can

being told by different professors and those who are aware of it, I’m confused as to why it hasn’t been taken care of sooner,” Miller said.

In order for someone to be exposed to asbestos, they would have to nail something into the wall, penetrating the containment wall and releasing asbestos. University policy states people “must not nail into the walls or break any floor tile in order to hang pictures or secure furniture; or work in the space above the ceiling tile” to not disturb the material.

“There’s not a particular risk to this policy,” said Greg Gant, managing director of Asbestos Inspectors Inc. of North Texas. “The state health department does not let these schools go unwatched.”

But for Miller, that is not good enough. She said students need to know sooner they are in the same environment as asbestos, regardless of layers of paint and plaster.

“It would have been nice to know a little bit earlier,” Miller said. “Not lot of people knew, and that says something about the dissemination of that information.”

UNT Facilities associate vice

president David Reynolds said the university has no plans to completely eliminate asbestos-containing material.

“In general you don’t need to just eliminate it,” Reynolds said. “If it’s encapsulated, it’s not a hazard as long as it stays encapsulated.

Generally across building facilities and construction industry, you don’t see people going in and trying to remove asbestos because they want to remove the asbestos.”

UNT Facilities and Risk Management share a database of about which buildings on campus have been tested.

UNT Risk Management Services has a hazardous material flyer online for those moving between offices that states “most building [sic] constructed before 1985 contain asbestos.” Gant said all buildings in Denton constructed during the 1940s and 80s contain asbestos.

Because of the mineral’s resistance to high temperatures and corrosion, it was used to insulate walls and strengthen building materials like ceilings, floor tiles and textured paint. During the 1960s to 70s, the link between mesothelioma

Maple Hall, built in 1964, and the second largest dorm building, is one building said to contain asbestos.

Dylan Nadwodny | Staff Photographer and asbestos caught public attention.

According to the EPA, schools are responsible to properly perform duties including actions to develop management plans, conduct inspections or re-inspections or perform response actions. They must also meet recordkeeping requirements.

A project manager at any location is required to perform sample testing for asbestos in buildings being renovated or demolished.

In accordance with Texas State

Law, state health inspectors and contractors must be properly licensed and follow the proper reporting, removal and containment procedures.

Re-inspection by an accredited inspector is required once every three years in each school building used. Samples of any damage to possible asbestos-containing material is collected and sent to the National Bureau of Standards.

Reynolds said such an inspector will monitor construction crews

when Stovall Hall is demolished.

“I would say asbestos is generally one of those things to be aware of but don’t be afraid of,” Reynolds said. “The way we treat it from maintenance is we want to make sure you’re aware of it, that we’re checking to make sure anything we’re working on doesn’t contain it.

And if it does, we want to follow the proper procedures to remove it and make sure we don’t create a hazard by breaking that encapsulation.”

CAMPUS GOVERNMENT

SGA celebrates semester of progress in banquet

North Texas Daily @ntdaily @thedose_ntdaily @ntdaily

By Lisa Dreher Staff Writer @lisa_dreher97

Student Government Association members were relieved and relaxed during their semester banquet Wednesday night in the University Union.

Dresses and suits were the attire of the night as members mingled to celebrate a semester of progress for the undergraduate government.

“We wanted to do a big thank you for SGA,” vice president of SGA Chris Lee said. “These are the kind of events where you have conversations about issues and the interns, and senators can talk with each other. There’s a lot of networking.”

Senator of Session for the Summer, Senator of the Session

for the Fall and Intern of the Session were given to three members praised by SGA leaders. A plaque was given to each, signaling the formality of the night that would end SGA’s fall session on a celebratory note.

College of Business senator Caroline Roberson, College of Arts and Science senator Aaron Lara and intern Sierra Johnson were given the accolades respectively.

“Everyone that got nominated [was] worthy of the title because we all worked really hard,” Johnson said. “I’m really happy to be a part of this organization.”

Many applauded during a presentation of the budget, where expenses were well under the limit. Members laughed at how well they managed to spend

the minimum amount of money for smaller products.

The organization spent $19,505.60, or 44 percent, of its semester budget.

SGA made significant changes to its legislative process, moved its office to the University Union, appointed three senators, renovated its website and began live-tweeting Senate meetings.

Christa Coffey, who became SGA’s adviser this year, believes the new office location will encourage a flow of communication between the student body and student legislators.

“I’m excited about the potential for students actually being able to voice their concerns because they have a good space now for them to come in and talk about those things,” Coffey said.

The section is shared with the Graduate Student Council, Student Activities and the University Program Council.

Coffey said she appreciates that the space allows SGA and GSC to work together in one area,

especially when considering the split between the two legislative bodies.

The two governments can now discuss and create referendums presented to the whole student body.

“It was important that a system like this was in place so that when there is an issue that affects both the undergraduate and graduate students, we [can] fairly gauge student input from both bodies,” SGA president Adam Alattry said.

Annabelle Weber of the College of Merchandising, Hospitality and Tourism, Alana Tosca of the College of Education and Adam Miller of the College of Engineering were the new senators to join SGA. College of Merchandising, Hospitality and Tourism senator Julia Small believes Weber will adequately represent their college, which only has two senate seats because of its small size.

“She’s really ready to get out there and talk to the people in our college and see what they

want and need,” Small said.

“Our college is a lot smaller, and because of the nature of our majors some of our constituents don’t tend to be as involved like SGA, so I’m excited that we finally have good representation.”

SGA has made its activities more transparent, a goal of Alattry’s coming into the semester, through its revamped site in the Division of Student Affairs’ online location. The site features senator office hours, the student constitution, by-laws and the budget.

“You can always see what we’re spending money on [because] students need to know where their money is going,” Alattry said.

Coffey hopes senators will continue reaching out to students.

“I think they made progress on their internal workings,” Coffey said. “What I’m going to keep pushing for them to do is start talking to their constituents, which I think they’ve started to do more of.”

UNT joins city coalition formed to explore racism

By Sarah Lagro Staff Writer @Lagroski Following a hot North Texas summer that saw boiling racial tension, city government leaders and local thinkers have formed a group to explore the community’s relationships between races.

The Denton Together Coalition officially got underway in November when Denton Mayor Chris Watts signed a proclamation establishing the group.

It consists of several local organizations, including the county NAACP, League of United Latin American Citizens, UNT, Texas Women’s University and North Central Texas College.

North Texas school districts, churches and the police chief are also members of the coalition.

“I wanted to bring together a set of individuals that represent the uniqueness and diversity of

Denton,” Watts said. “When we come together and engage in real conversation about our cultural and social differences, we can learn to celebrate, honor and appreciate the value diversity brings to this community.”

Over the summer, following the terror attack at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in South Carolina where nine people were murdered, a nationwide rebuke of Confederate relics prompted people in Denton to debate whether the Confederate soldier statue on the Denton Square should remain there.

The statue served as the battleground for locals, including students from UNT, to discuss racism in the area and nationwide.

The gatherings sometimes attracted dozens of activists and Denton police officers.

Willie Hudspeth, the Denton County NAACP president, has led the charge to remove the statue from the Square since the early

2000s, but the summer’s events motivated him to reinforce the campaign against it.

“I’m glad people are talking about it,” he said, “but I’m very glad people are listening. This is long overdue.”

The episode reached its climax when two people spray-painted in red “This Is Racist” across the statue and in the days that followed, a man brought an assault rifle with him while he debated Hudspeth and other activists.

The Together Coalition held its first meeting Nov. 19 at the Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Center. Watts said residents presented their experiences with race relations in the area and the need for discussion about race and diversity in schools.

“Our goal is to be proactive and address any issues that are concerning to our community,” Coalition chair Sheryl English said in a City of Denton press release. “We want to address the

Denton County NAACP President Willie Hudspeth protests the Confederate soldier statue at the Denton Square last summer. Dalton LaFerney|News Editor issues so we can continue to live in a harmonious city.”

The group plans to host more town hall meetings in 2016,

but none have officially been scheduled.

COMMUNITY

A 5-2 vote brings gas station megastore to Denton

By Jenna Duncan Denton Record-Chronicle

A Buc-ee’s travel center is coming to Denton after the City Council voted 5-2 to approve tax incentives for the company to develop 38 acres along Interstate 35E. Discussion spanned almost four hours, with speakers passionately for and against the travel center taking to the podium during public comment in council chambers late into the night Tuesday. Many donned “Buc-ee’s Denton, Texas” T-shirts to visually show their support as well.

Twenty-two people spoke at the meeting, with 13 in favor of the project and nine against.

With non-speaker cards, which people can submit to officially log their opinion without addressing the council, 13 were against the project and 41 were in favor of the development.

Many speakers who were in opposition said that although they weren’t against a Bucee’s, they were against tax incentives for the company to come to Denton. As proposed, the developer will get an estimated $8.1 million in sales tax reimbursements.

Initially, the developer, Arch “Beaver” Aplin III, will get 100 percent sales tax back until he gets $2 million, approximately

over three years. Then, Bucee’s will get 50 percent of its sales tax back for 20 years. The development also includes seven pad sites, which could house retail and shopping. Each pad site will get a 50 percent rebate if it’s a sit-down or retail space, then 25 percent back for any other uses, such as fast food.

Marc Moffitt, a resident of Wind River Estates, said he doesn’t see a public benefit to the project, so the developer shouldn’t be able to get public funds through grants and sales tax rebates from the city.

“There is no public benefit for this property and this development,” he said. “Bucee’s is a good business, a good business model, it’s very, very successful, big store sales, all that kind of stuff. It shouldn’t need public funding to be successful. It is un-prudent, unwise public policy.”

Another concern was the project’s proximity to the Southridge and Wind River neighborhoods, with more than 100 residents attending a community meeting Nov. 11.

Right now, 27 homeowners share property lines with the project, and on average, they are about 400 feet from the proposed building.

Council member Joey Hawkins, who represents the district in which the development falls, tried to

postpone the vote until the Dec. 15 meeting so there could be more discussion with residents close to the proposed project, but it failed 5-2. In the final vote, Hawkins was in favor of the project. Voting against the proposal were Kathleen Wazny and Keely Briggs.

Some of the closest neighbors had a change of heart about the project overall since it was announced.

Jeremy Moon, whose property would be 218 feet from the Buc-ee’s building, initially said he was against the project, but after multiple phone calls with Aplin and a dinner at Pizza Snob, he thinks the project is much better than what could come to the space.

“I’m one of those unrealistic people who would love to see Sparky leave that field empty, but I don’t suspect he’s that crazy to do it, and if I were him, I wouldn’t either,” he said, referring to John “Sparky” Pearson, who owns the property where Buc-ee’s wants to build. “[Beaver] seems very reasonable, very willing to work with us property owners who back up to create a buffer zone.”

Although a final plan has not been set, there now will be a 52,000-square-foot travel center, 96 gas pumps and seven pad sites for restaurants and retail shopping.

However this is just the beginning, Aplin said. Now, he

Council members Kevin Roden and Greg Johnson listen to a speaker talk about a proposed ban on hydraulic fracturing in the city of Denton during a City Council meeting in July. David Minton | Denton Record-Chronicle has to work with city staff and meet their requirements to get a building permit, he said.

Buc-ee’s could have come to the site without any official vote because the property is zoned

for this type of use, but Aplin said he would not do the project if he didn’t get tax incentives.

He is currently in an exploratory deal with Pearson and hasn’t yet purchased the

property.

The project won’t come online until 2018, after improvements along Interstate 35E are completed.

In the midst of disease, the Thakkers remain strong any worry.

With his younger sister Olive, Dax pounces from one couch cushion to another under his father’s supervision and kicks soccer balls with anybody who wants to join the hooting and hollering around the block.

“This whole ordeal hasn’t stopped him from being a kid,” Anooj said. “He’s got so much energy. He falls down. He gets rough and runs around the house.

A 7-year-old will be a 7-year-old.”

This Halloween evening, the Thakkers found themselves sitting in a quiet lobby that they had all to themselves. Rain dripped down the windows outside, and the lights were dim as they waited for the results of their son’s first operation.

Although the Thakkers were nervous about the potential ramifications of the attempted surgery, they described the experience as tranquil.

Prior to the operation, one of the assisting nurses approached Lisa.

Having been interviewed by local radio station KCBI on “Mornings with Jeff and Rebecca,” the nurse told Lisa she had heard their story of battling disease and how inspired she was by the family.

“It was really something to hear that in the midst of everything,” Lisa said. “The environment was unexpectedly relaxing.”

Finally, they received the results: Dax’s first of two surgeries was a success.

With most of the tumor now removed, his left ear is currently

supported by a prosthetic incus bone fashioned from titanium. As Dax’s eardrum begins to heal, his hearing will start to redevelop. The final surgery, which is scheduled to take place near the Christmas holiday, will attempt to reconstruct the fractured bones behind Dax’s ear.

The December surgery should be the last operation Dax undergoes, but the potential for error is still present.

Nevertheless, the Thakkers dress themselves with an openminded approach that they strive to apply to their medical journeys, and their overall lifestyle.

“It’s definitely been an adventure,” Anooj said. “But when it comes down to it, that’s what life is.”

To support and inform the general public of Dax’s journey, Lisa started a GoFundMe campaign to aid in raising funds to pay the medical bills. Not only has the campaign surpassed over 75 percent of its $5,000 goal, but Lisa has also gained a faithful, curious group of supporters near and far, all hoping for the seamless recovery of Dax’s hearing.

As Lisa and Anooj prepare for their third child, due in 2016, they have one philosophy to guide them through their obstacles.

“Life is insane, but we’ve learned to choose our battles,” Lisa said. “Every little bad thing is not always a bad thing. These are what make us grow.”

Dax Thakker had his first ear surgery several weeks ago but it has not stopped him from jumping on the couches and playing soccer with neighborhood friends. Hannah Ridings | Senior Staff Photographer

stronger consequences.”

Because the bones of the ear are the smallest and most delicate in the human body, removal of the tumor requires a series of surgeries. A slight quiver of the hand could permanently rupture and eliminate Dax’s hearing.

Despite the risk, Bauer, a medical veteran for more than 20 years, has been resolute in the recuperation of Dax’s hearing. He said in spite of the delicacy the surgeries demand, he is motivated to have the rare opportunity to save Dax’s hearing.

“Most medical professionals never get to see this condition in their entire careers,” Bauer said.

“It’s an extremely rare condition and a very delicate process.”

When the Thakkers first visited Bauer, he presented a variety of data and graphs showing a spectrum of ear infections. After the initial examination, Bauer was immediately able to discern the problem.

Lisa scrutinized every detail, absorbing as much knowledge as was given. Dax, meanwhile, continued to explore his adored game, Minecraft, saying one day he wants to start his own YouTube channel featuring his gameplay.

When Bauer asked Dax if he had any questions regarding the surgery, the child only needed one word to answer.

“Nah.“ Through every checkup and medical detail shared with the Thakkers, Dax has yet to express

condition where a tumor develops over the eardrum, slowly deteriorating the tissue over a span of months.

Dax’s school teacher first noticed something was wrong when the child would spontaneously act out during class, uncharacteristically speaking when other students were talking and finding himself unable to stay stationary for too long.

“During parent-teacher conferences, his teachers mentioned that he had the potential

to be a troublemaker,” Lisa said.

“He really didn’t know any better, just having fun and causing a little bit of trouble.”

During a routine hearing checkup with the school nurse, she noticed a substantial hearing loss of about 40 percent since his last visit and recommended that Lisa and her husband, Anooj, with whom she had reunited, should take their son to an ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist.

Upon a visit to Dr. Paul Bauer, who practices in the same clinic Lisa visited when her younger

daughter Olive had ear infections, the Thakkers discovered the tumor that was covering and eroding Dax’s left eardrum.

Left untreated, Dax’s left ear hearing would not only be eliminated, but the tumor would also spread through his face, potentially harming nerves that affect smell, sight and taste.

“Hearing loss is second on our list,” Lisa said. “Technology advances so rapidly, I’m sure over the course of the next few years there’d be some solution to his hearing. We’ve been worried about

RECREATION

Roller derby league pushes forward despite challenges

By Kayleigh Bywater Senior Staff Writer @kayleighnic0le When the North Texas Roller Derby League rolled into Denton in 2011, Stacey Bzdok, an active league member, was excited to bring the fast-paced sport to the community.

She has been around since the league had its own 20,000-squarefoot facility, House of Quad, on Mayhill Road. But since the league lost the space in August, Bzdok and other league members have been working to maintain the spirit of the sport in Denton.

“Roller derby is something I followed with my mom growing up,” Bzdok said. “It used to be on TV, and we would watch it together.

When I heard people wanted to start a league, I jumped right in.”

Roller derby bouts take place on an oval track with two teams of five people. Each team has four blockers who try to keep the opponent’s jammer – the skater with a star on his or her helmet – from breaking through the pack by using their hips, rear and shoulders. The jammer’s goal, however, is to break through the pack to score points. For every member of the opposing team the jammer passes, the team gets one point.

In August, Aurelia Anna Campbell, NTRD’s general manager, was arrested for theft of around $200,000 and swindling her Bedford employer for over $900,000. Authorities believed Campbell used some of the money to buy the House of Quad roller derby facility for NTRD. Because of this, the league lost their facility

and some of their following.

Campbell was extremely well liked in NTRD, which was why the league was shocked when they found out. Despite the challenges, the league has tried not to lose their values.

Coming back from this incident has been hard on NTRD, Bzdok said, but they have not let the actions of one person bring down everyone’s friendships.

“I’m a 41-year-old single mom, but I play with girls who are 18 and I don’t feel so different from them,” Bzdok said. “I know it sounds cliché, but we are family. It is sometimes hard to find a group of people who you can count on to be there for you at any time. But through everything, it’s still a constant churning of support.”

Street Mafia and a blocker for the Fighting Unicorns, said after the incident, the number of athletes in NTRD has declined. North Texans have felt hesitant in joining due to Campbell’s actions and have not been able to adapt with the facility changes.

“Because we lost House of Quad, we have to practice outside now,” Bzdok said. “A lot of our members have kids, so it’s just a difficult situation until we can find a new facility. This situation has definitely been a curveball for us.”

NTRD media consultant Lauren Williamson said the group of women in NTRD has banded together to keep pushing forward in sharing roller derby with Denton.

“There’s more to roller derby than people know,” Williamson said. “If people look at it with the old school view, they wouldn’t realize how intense it is. It’s more about athletics and skill than costumes and fighting.”

Bzdok said despite common views and recent findings, roller derby is not a sport centered on violence. Instead, it’s a sport centered on community.

“When we compete against each other, there is no malicious intent,” Bzdok said. “I’m a heavy hitter. I can lay you flat out on your butt if I am blocking you, but you better believe I’ll give you a high five when you get up and grab a beer with you afterwards.”

Psychology junior Amanda Wachtler participates in roller derby and skates with Assassination City Roller Derby in Plano. She knows members of NTRD since group members sometimes practice with Wachtler’s league. Even though NTRD has run into some problems, Wachtler said the roller derby

Captain Stacey Bzdok of the Main Street Mafia is also a blocker for North Texas Roller Derby’s traveling team, the Fighting Unicorns.

“The roller derby community is such a great one to be a part of,” Wachtler said. “There is no bad blood or ill-will between us and the other groups around here. We stick together in roller derby despite how violent it looks.”

Although NTRD has a long way to go before the start of their season in February, Bzdok said they are ready to face the challenges that are

ahead.

In the coming months, NTRD hopes to find a new facility they can utilize, recruit more women to join them and develop both their skating skills and friendships.

“We are on a growing path,” Bzdok said. “It’s sort of like a rebirth of the league. We have lost a lot, but we are staying alive and pushing forward. We are coming back strong.”

Childhood friends bring juice to Denton

By Chad Robertson Staff Writer @chadr0b

The sound of blenders juicing fresh produce, a simple menu and passionate owners can be found within the citruscolored walls of Denton’s debut juice bar, Everyday Nectar.

When longtime friends and Denton natives Corey Bobbitt, a worker in the medical field,

and Seth Ellis, a catering company employee, traveled to different cities for their jobs, they recognized an ever-growing trend that their hometown was missing: a juice bar.

They lit up at the chance to proudly talk about their new adventure.

“We’ve always wanted to start something together,” Bobbitt, 33, said. “Being friends for so long, we wanted

to bring something back home and figured a juice bar was just the thing.”

Still smelling like new construction, the store hosted two customers, who slurped down their drinks.

The bar offers fresh juices, pre-bottled raw juices, smoothies and nutrient-filled non-alcoholic shots. Quinoa and hummus salads are also on the menu.

bar with organic wheatgrass, greens, micrograins and sprouts, which are eventually juiced with a variety of fruits and turned into a healthy treat.

“Whatever we can get locally, we get,” Bobbitt said.

Juicing is the act of breaking down fruits and vegetables in order to get the maximum amount of nutrients. Ellis added that it is a great way for people to tastefully get their daily serving of fruits and vegetables.

Juice f lavors range anywhere from the “PearFect” mix of pear, cucumber, pineapple and mint to the “Mean Green Detox” loaded with spinach, kale, celery, cucumber, ginger and cilantro.

“We made the menu in a way that would put fruits and vegetables together in a tasteful way,” Ellis, 32, said.

“We wanted items that had good health benefits, tasted great and were simple.”

The menu is further divided up into beginner- and expertlevel sections.

The shop also offers one, three- and five-day juice cleanses, during which participants fast and getstheir nutrients from fruit and vegetable juices.

“We just hope to be consistent in delivering fresh and healthy options for the community,” Bobbitt said.

I was just really excited [and] overwhelmed. We got to go up onstage and get our award, and the whole night was really exciting.”

In the future, she hopes to have a job in broadcast.

“In 10 years, hopefully I have a pretty stable career,” Presley said.

“I want to be in the entertainment industry. My ultimate goal is to produce my own entertainment talk show.”

Converging broadcast media junior Maria Delgado will take over as executive producer for NTTV’s talk show in 2016.

“Since I came to UNT, I dreamt of having my own show,” Delgado said. “I have big shoes to fill as executive producer. I think I’ve definitely learned a lot, and I’m excited to see where it goes.”

Presley praised Delgado’s creativity, saying she is the perfect person to take the show to the next level.

“Maria’s filled a bunch of

different positions on [the show], and I felt that she was the person who knew the most about the show and how it worked,” Presley said. “She has a lot of creative ideas that she can implement into the show. It was the right decision [to have her take it over].”

As the new executive producer, Delgado said she plans to make a few changes.

“It will still be the same layout,” she said. “We’ll have our hosts, and they’ll go out and show fun things around Dallas.

I’m not exactly sure how yet, but I want to revamp it. We’re still brainstorming.”

RUGBY

Men and women’s rugby teams find success in the scrum

By Clay Massey Staff Writer @Clay_FC

Football isn’t the only sport at North Texas with violent, high-speed collisions.

Just ask kinesiology junior Shelby Lyle, captain of the North Texas women’s rugby team, who watched one of her teammates break an opponent’s clavicle in a game during the team’s inaugural season this fall semester.

“It was a beautiful hit,” Lyle said.

“I don’t know what happened. It was perfect form and everything.

Sometimes freak accidents happen.

She knocked the girl. It was awesome.

Everyone expects women to be less physical, but I think we’re as physical as the guys or even more so.”

While she did not have the intent to injure her foe, rugby players compete without padding while sprinting, tackling, rolling, jumping and wrestling with opponents just like football players.

Many people often compare rugby to football due to the violent nature of the game. But to a rugby player, football doesn’t even compare.

“People relate it to American football. I think that’s a very different sport,” finance junior and president of the North Texas men’s rugby team Daniel Curl said. “The key thing that really encases the physical demand

is the idea that many of the laws of rugby are designed so that the game is continuous and flows constantly.”

Rugby at the collegiate level is played with two 40-minute halves with a running clock, similar to soccer. Even without padding, the hits are still just as explosive as football.

Led by experienced coaching staffs that have both playing and coaching experience, the North Texas men’s and women’s rugby clubs have found this season to be one of the most successful ever.

The men have continued a longrunning tradition of winning, as they are in the midst of an undefeated season in the Southwest Collegiate Rugby Conference. The team is looking for its second consecutive state title, defeating conference foes University of Houston, Texas Tech University and Texas State University along the way.

If North Texas can continue its winning ways through the end of the season in January, it can win the conference without having to compete in a conference championship game.

And winning the conference could open up opportunities to be invited to national competitions--something they have done the last two years.

Members of the men’s team credit head coach Michael Engelbrecht for the team’s success.

“He has really brought about a newfound work ethic and discipline

that has really resonated with a lot of the guys,” Curl said. “Also we’ve had that wonderful moment where although, as it is with rugby in general here in America, most people are new.

We’re starting to have much more veteran players on the team. So now whenever there are new members, there are old players to take them under their wing.”

The women’s rugby team has much less experience than the men’s team. The team was formed late in the 2015 spring semester, evolving from a group of girls who knew next to nothing about rugby to a team that finished 5-1, with its only loss coming in the Lonestar Women’s Rugby Conference championship game in overtime.

Lyle played basketball at East Texas Baptist University before transferring to North Texas and originally planned to walk on to the North Texas women’s basketball team. Instead, she found a new love for rugby and said she has never been on a team with as much chemistry as her current team does.

“I’ve learned that rugby is a team sport,” Lyle said. “You can’t just have one or two good players. You’ve got to have a solid team. We’re a very new team, but we’re deep enough. Instead of having one good player and the rest average, we all came up together and are all-around good players. We would just beat out teams. Other

Courtesy | UNT Rugby teams would have one good player, and we would figure out who that one good player is and shut them down. In rugby, everyone has to play.”

The men were at one point in the same situation as the women’s team.

Most were inexperienced, but with the help of the new coaching staff, the team has become dominant.

Engelbrecht played and coached at the national level and also has experience coaching overseas before joining North Texas rugby. He said

his time coaching players of all ages has translated to the North Texas program.

“I think my experiences in developing those players as fast as we can around the country, I’ve learned a lot of practices that work well in those kinds of environments,” Engelbrecht said. “Those practices are what I bring to the UNT program.”

Part of what the men’s coaching staff has done to make its program so successful has carried over to the

women’s team, creating a winning culture throughout both squads.

Assistant men’s coach Andrew Marshall said the teams routinely interact, which makes for a positive environment and helps both teams find success on the field.

“It’s just awesome to see everybody being so encouraging,” Mitchell said.

“Really, it comes out of the passion for this sport that a lot of the kids are new to. It really is a sport that can captivate you.”

BASKETBALL

Shorter shot clock leads to fast-paced offense in men’s basketball

By Reece Waddell Senior Staff Writer @ReeceTapout15 The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel reduced the shot clock in men’s basketball

this offseason from 35 seconds to 30 seconds. It was the first change to the shot clock since 1993, when it was reduced from 45 seconds to 35 seconds.

The move was made to improve pace of play and reduce periods of inactivity.

North Texas basketball head coach Tony Benford said he remembers his own playing days with a much longer shot clock and is a supporter of the change this season.

“It’s better than the 45-second clock I played

with,” Benford said with a laugh. “I’ve seen it evolve.

When it was 45 seconds, we made 45 passes. But it’s been good for the game. The scores are up.”

With less time spent on offense this year, teams will be forced to either shoot the ball or set up the offense more quickly. But Benford was quick to adapt.

Before the season began, he talked about wanting to get out in transition and push the tempo offensively. So far this season it appears to be working, as the Mean Green are averaging 83.5 points per game, putting them in a tie with Princeton University at 43rd in the nation.

“We continue to try and push the pace,” Benford said.

“But we have to do it within the offense and make sure we don’t turn the ball over. We have to make sure we give ourselves a chance to get good shots.”

But with a high-speed offense comes the risk of turnovers. Through six games this season, North Texas averages the most turnovers per game in Conference USA and is 12th in the turnover margin at minus 2.67.

“When you try and play fast, the tendency is to have more turnovers,” Benford said. “And that’s what a lot of

coaches said. You were going to see a lot more turnovers with the shot clock going down.”

Benford said he has wanted to play a fast style of basketball since he came to North Texas but has not had the team to do it. With the additions of junior guard J-Mychal Reese and freshman guard Ja’Michael Brown to the Mean Green lineup, Benford felt comfortable enough to implement his preferred style of offense and run it through those two guards.

“We have two point guards that can really push the basketball,” Benford said. “You have to have the point guard that can push it and create offense for his teammates. And we have two guys that can really do that.”

Graduate forward Eric Katenda agreed with his coach and said the team is built around pushing the pace.

“It worked out perfect,” Katenda said. “We have fast guards who can get the ball across half court to give us enough time to run the kind of offense we want to. The shot clock is really not affecting us that much on offense.”

The shortened shot clock doesn’t only impact the offense. Like the Mean Green, other teams are also trying to get out and run in transition to

combat the new rule.

One point of emphasis North Texas has focused on is slowing down the opposition.

This is done in several ways, but Katenda said the biggest thing is being active and energetic.

“We want to really try and break them down,” Katenda said. “Get in the passing lane and make it to where they can run their offense or their plays.”

The shortened clock has also shortened the court, metaphorically. Reese said teams have started packing the paint while switching to a zone defense, forcing the other team to take jump shots as opposed to driving in the paint off ball screens.

He said this is yet another reason the team must find success in transition.

“We have to keep running our break,” Reese said. “We try to get an early, good shot.

And if we don’t, we just have to set up really quick.”

Even though North Texas has only played with the reduced shot clock for six games, Benford said he is a fan of the switch.

“Guys want to watch winning basketball,” Benford said. “And people are excited that the game is more uptempo now than it has been in the past.”

Despite unlucky end to North Texas career, Kerestine looks to keep playing SOCCER CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “I couldn’t even move my toes because it was so numb,” Kerestine said. “The second day around noon or so, the nerve block wore off. That was probably one of the worst pains ever.”

In the moments immediately following the injury, Kerestine’s mind was racing. She couldn’t stop thinking about how mad the team and head coach John Hedlund might be about being unavailable for the most important game of the season.

The national anthem and player introductions began, and Kerestine’s father pulled her inside the stadium.

Through all the tears, he let her know the injury didn’t make her a failure and her

season was still one most players could only dream of.

“I’m the kind of person where once I get out my emotions, I’m good to go,” Kerestine said. “I just needed a second to kind of be away from everybody and let it all out.”

Meanwhile, freshman goalkeeper and season-long backup Brooke Bradley was mentally preparing for her first career start. All year, she had prepared before each game as if she was going to play, but still had just over six minutes of game experience under her belt behind Kerestine.

“It hit me when she tried to get up to walk and she couldn’t, so she just sat back down,” Bradley said. “In warmups, I looked over and she was trying to get her ankle

taped. She was bawling.”

The task at hand was less than ideal for the Mean Green, but Bradley had the full support of her team. In the moment, Bradley said experience didn’t matter, and the injury only heightened the team’s focus.

“I wanted us to keep going on and see how far we could go,” Bradley said. “With her getting injured, it made the team want to play to the best of their ability. They didn’t want to lose just because Jackie wasn’t in.”

Most of all, Kerestine didn’t want the team to lose, either.

Once she came to terms with what happened, she returned to the sidelines on crutches and played the role of a vocal leader, giving Bradley and company tons of coaching

and inspiration throughout the game.

“She was extremely encouraging, trying to coach up the team and the defense as much as she could from the sideline,” senior midfielder Lindsey Hulstein said. “That’s the kind of person that she is.

She’s always going to stay as involved as possible.”

Bradley looked to Kerestine as a mentor throughout the season, watching her every move and picking up little tricks along the way.

Whenever she could, Bradley would ask Kerestine questions in hopes of learning as much as possible before eventually filling her shoes as the starter next season.

“She’s coachable and she works hard. She works out on her own,” Kerestine said.

“She does all the extra stuff, and she takes initiative to do things. I think that’ll really benefit her next year.”

As for Kerestine, the future is still bright. While she will be in a walking boot for the upcoming months, she plans on intensely training her upper body and core muscles until she can start riding a stationary bike without resistance in four weeks. If everything goes as planned without any setbacks, she expects to be back at full health by mid-February.

Although she said she’d love to dip into coaching, Kerestine is actively pursuing a career in the National Women’s Soccer League.

Hedlund helped her register for the league’s upcoming amateur draft on Jan. 16, where 40 players will have their name called.

Even if she doesn’t get selected, not all draftees survive preseason cuts, and opportunities to try out for

teams as a free agent will arise. For a player whose Twitter bio now reads “retired college athlete,” the end of her North Texas career may not be the final chapter of her story.

“I could not have honestly asked for anything better. It

gets me really sad to think about it,” Kerestine said. “I see all my teammates getting together and working out. I don’t have that anymore. I don’t have a spring season to get ready for. I’m done.”

FOOTBALL

Historically bad football season comes to an end for Mean Green

By Reece Waddell Senior Staff Writer @ReeceTapout15

Former interim head coach Mike Canales walked into the pressroom after suffering another defeat last Saturday

night, this time a 20-17 loss to the University of Texas El Paso.

Before saying anything, he ran his fingers through his hair and took a big sigh. The usually upbeat and energetic coach was beaten down.

It was evident the long season of losing game after game had taken its toll.

“It’s been the story of our season,” Canales said. “We can’t make any plays. We can’t make a throw. We can’t protect.

We can’t make a run. It’s just kind of what’s happened.”

The loss dropped the Mean Green to 1-11 on the season and tied the 2008 team for the worst record in school history.

The record is also the fourth double-digit loss in the last ten years, and fifth in program history.

North Texas faced doom and gloom from the onset. Before even playing a down, the Mean Green lost one of its leaders on defense, senior defensive back Kenny Buyers, to injury.

The loss of Buyers, along with freshman defensive back Cedric Fernandes, hampered the defense and resulted in the Mean Green finishing 122nd in the Football Bowl Subdivision in total defense in 2015. North Texas gave up 503 yards per game on defense, slightly higher than the 483 yards per game it gave up in 2008. The Mean Green finished dead last in the FBS in 2008 despite giving up more yards this season.

The offense did not fare much better and averaged 320 yards per game, good enough for 117th in the country. That mark is worse than the 2008 squad, which finished tied for 72nd in the country at 363 yards per game.

Canales said the team repeatedly failed to execute and many mistakes throughout the season were self-inflicted.

“It just seems like every time you’re getting ready to taste it and grab it, they pull it away from you,” Canales said. “So what is it? Is it the discipline? Is it coaching? Is it players? Maybe it’s a little bit of everything.”

Senior tight end Marcus Smith echoed Canales’ thoughts and said he too thought lack of execution was the downfall of the Mean Green.

“We would go out there on some days in practice and look like we have it,” Smith said.

“And then we would go out there on some Saturdays and the execution wouldn’t be up to par.

It wouldn’t be up to the standard we set for ourselves.”

The frustration of a losing season seemed to hit a boiling

Interim head coach Mike Canales celebrates the first Mean Green win of the 2015 season.

Ryan Vance | Senior Staff Photographer point when senior wide receiver Carlos Harris was ejected for targeting in the waning moments of Saturday night’s game. After moving the ball inside the 25yard line on a scramble by junior quarterback DaMarcus Smith, Harris launched himself into a defenseless player, resulting in a 15-yard penalty and a trip to the locker room.

Immediately following his ejection, Harris gave the crowd a peace sign and jogged off the field. The penalty was the end of Harris’ career at North Texas and, according to senior offensive lineman Michael Banogu, was a culmination of pent up emotions held in throughout the season.

“He definitely let a lot of frustration for the senior class out on that play,” Banogu said.

Along with ending North Texas’ season, Saturday’s loss also marked the end of Canales’ tenure in Denton. Having served as the offensive coordinator since 2010, Canales was the first person former head coach Dan McCarney hired to his

staff.

One concern the team now faces with the lack of a head coach is a missing presence on the recruiting trail. With junior college signing day a mere two weeks away, North Texas brass hopes to hire its next coach sooner rather than later.

Smith said it’s important for the Mean Green to get a coaching staff in place as soon as possible, because potential recruits often weigh decisions based on who will be leading them the next four years.

“You have parents that want to meet the coaching staff,” Smith said. “These are the people you’re going to be giving your kids to for the next four or five years. It’s really important to have a coaching staff in place.”

With change imminent in Denton, returning players and coaches will wait and see what happens next. As for Canales, he said he will always cherish his time at North Texas and believes the football program will eventually get turned

around.

“I believe in my heart the Mean Green will be back stronger than ever,” Canales said.

problem and the necessity of a solution, but disagree on which course of action is necessary to neutralize the problem.

In light of this, it is particularly troubling to see writers like Arthur Delaney and Sam Stein, both of The Huffington Post, label displays of solidarity and outpouring of support as just “another deluge of tweeted prayer”. “[But] every time multiple people have been gunned down in a mass shooting, all these officials can seemingly do is rush to offer their useless thoughts and prayers,” reads the Dec. 2 article, which ran just hours after the shooting.

This outcry is petty and also solves nothing.

of an act which transcends age, gender, faith or politics: acknowledgment. Just as he says the right-leaning politicians are using prayer to replace actual action to curb gun violence, some might say the left are exploiting the attack and loss of life for political gain.

Despite the fact the U.S., according to certain Pew Research Center studies, might be growing less and less religious by year, freedom of religion still exists. Calling these people out for not offering immediate solutions is wrong and only serves to reveal a half-cocked intellect.

They are looking through their own rosecolored glasses and taking an opportunity to insult those who they fundamentally dislike.

Rest assured, true debate can and will be had among our lawmakers. But in the meantime, we should all stand in unity and offer our condolences to those affected rather than condemning those who weren’t responsible for the tragedy in the first place.

To quote Abraham Lincoln: “A house divided cannot stand.”

many religions and even among those who are aren’t all that faithful -- believe prayer is a substitute for action? Or is their problem with prayer in general? In the former case, one might tell them to have a bit more faith in the citizens of the U.S. For the latter, they should just stick their head in the sand.

Another example lies is George Zornick, Washington editor of The Nation, who, believing himself to be the ultimate authority on the subject, simply tweeted “Compare + contrast,” with an image tacked on citing the immense differences between the statements released by a slew of presidential candidates.

On the left, Martin O’Malley touts the NRA as responsible, saying “It’s time to stand up” and “enact meaningful gun safety laws.” To the right, John Kasich offered his “thoughts and prayers” to “those impacted by the shooting in San Bernardino.” Compare and contrast, indeed.

Politics aside, the problem lies with this so-called moral superiority claimed by Zornick, without considering those who might take offense to a public condemnation
