By Alex Helm Staff Writer @alex_helm The founder of the Transgender Intersex Alliance of Denton, A.J. Aguinaga, was arrested Oct. 13 by UNT police and charged with three counts of indecency with a child, according to university officials. Aguinaga, 22, who remains in custody at the Denton County Jail, could face A.J. Aguinaga up to 20 years in prison for the second-degree felony offenses charged against him. The crimes, UNT officials said, occurred in the General Academic Building from Sept. 14 through Sept. 25. Two incidents allegedly occured in a General Academic Building bathroom, UNT spokeswoman Margarita Venegas said. An additional incident occured at an offcampus house. Police received a report on Oct. 9, which led to an investigation and Aguinaga’s arrest on Oct. 13. At the university level, sexual misconduct sanctions can range from residence hall removal to expulsion, university spokeswoman Kelley Reese said. According to the Texas penal code, indecency with a child is sexual contact with a person younger than the age of 17. Because the alleged victim is below the age of 18, no information was reported about the victim, Reese said. There is a question of child safety in the GAB, but Reese said children should be safe now. Aguinaga could not be reached for comment. UNT Police are currently investigating.

Moped Army rides vintage vehicle around streets of Denton By Kayleigh Bywater Senior Staff Writer @Kayleighbywater When Nathan Williams rides around Denton, he gets stares and questions. As he zips down the road, he weaves around objects in his way, experiencing the sights and sounds of Denton. Williams does not ride a motorcycle or bike, but a hybrid

of the two: a moped. Since he started riding, Williams has been hooked. His love for mopeds prompted him to start a Facebook group called Moped Army Denton, which currently has around 120 members. The group allows local moped owners to get together and ride. “Live fast, ride slow is my motto,” Williams said. Mopeds were extremely popular in the late 1900s.

After leaving Catholicism, Megan Martinez began researching witchcraft. Martinez would soon find comfort in reading about spells and performing them, diving deeper into the craft after graduating high school and coming to UNT. While her mother was initially worried, Megan said she eventually understood when she saw there was no harm in it. As a practicing Wiccan and witch, Martinez is not the average student. She said it’s just another facet of her life, though many may be wary of her beliefs. “Witchcraft isn’t a religion, it’s a lifestyle,” Martinez said. “Magic isn’t very theatrical.”

In witchcraft, magic is the core energy that drives all. Through the use of catalyst items – herbs, spices and special rocks – witches can interact with the world around them in different ways, though the methods differ from person to person. “There’s no right or wrong way to practice witchcraft,” Martinez said while sifting through her box of catalysts, including a curvy, blackhandled knife known as an Athame. “I like to use magic to change stoplights, light my cigarettes and heal people.” Martinez’s friend Katherine, who requested to not have her last name mentioned for safety reasons, had a different experience getting into witchcraft because she grew up with it. Katherine claims to have a blood lineage tracing back to the town of Salem in colonial Massachusetts,

New quarterback taking the reins By Reece Waddell Senior Staff Writer @ReeceTapout15

The Mean Green quarterback carousel may be finally coming to an end. At least, that is what newlyappointed interim head coach Mike Canales and junior DaMarcus Smith hope. North Texas has rolled out four different starting quarterbacks since its Heart of Dallas Bowl victory following the 2013 season, and so far the program has been unable to find an answer. In 2014, former

head coach Dan McCarney used three different men under center, but none were able to get the Mean Green offense rolling, with the team scoring 21 points or fewer in seven of its games. Enter DaMarcus Smith. “I have to try and not worry about how the quarterback position has been here the last couple of years,” Smith said. “That can kind of mess with you mentally, especially with the struggles that we’ve had. But I know if I play my game and keep it simple, I’ll be fine.” For Smith, the struggle was

simply getting on the field, as the junior missed the entirety of spring practices after the NCAA ruled him ineligible. Smith committed to North Texas in December of 2014 and officially completed his transfer at the end of the fall semester, taking classes in the spring of 2015 to earn his eligibility back. After being cleared by the NCAA in May, the quarterback was finally able to start taking snaps. “He missed 15 practices and 25 days of football,” Canales said. “In the progress of his development as it took its shape, as a coach you’re like,

A piece of white paper on the windshield is something so thin and frail, but such an item can morph into a costly burden. No one enjoys getting a ticket, but at UNT, parking citations can be appealed. A parking ticket appeal is an option for drivers who feel they were following parking rules but were still cited. Appealing a ticket isn’t always successful, but it doesn’t cost anything and can lead to change. UNT Parking and Transportation Services allows people to appeal tickets online at unt.edu/transit. Drivers click ‘‘appeal citations” and log in with their EUID and citation number. Read and accept the user agreement, enter contact information and select the appeal reason from either medical emergency, signage error, vehicle problems or other. Drivers can detail their appeal using up to 1,000 characters and can attach up to three photos. When Student Government Association president Adam Alattry received a ticket for obstructing traffic at the end of September. His ticket was $35, but he wanted to appeal because he felt he hadn’t done anything wrong. “I was kind of in shock because it said I was obstructing traffic when I obviously wasn’t,” Alattry said. “One thing I would recommend for students is to take pictures before they get into their

The Dose: ‘Steve Jobs’ and Aaron Sorkin’s depiction of genius By Nicholas Friedman Editor-In-Chief @NMFried “It looks like Judy Jetson’s Easy Bake Oven!” When 19-year-old Lisa JobsBrennen yells those words at her father on the roof of the Flint Center just five minutes before the unveiling of the blue iMac, the entire point of Steve Jobs comes into focus. The man was flawed. Director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin crafted a stretched retelling of the life of a genius. Michael Fassbender stuns as Jobs, nailing everything from mannerisms to dress. Stellar performances by Kate Winslet as Joanna Hoffman, Seth Rogen as Steve Wozniak and Jeff Daniels as John Sculley fill out a cast-packed runtime. Events are tweaked and arguments are amplified from reality, but the lives of those around Jobs are changed as the man falls into his work and ultimately finds success. Steve Jobs is about interacting with a hard-shelled man. Once Sorkin combed the source material, author Walter Isaacson’s Steve Jobs, he knew what kind of film he wanted to write. “When I’m writing something, it’s all I can think about when I’m brushing my teeth or driving my car,” Sorkin said during a roundtable discussion Wednesday afternoon. “I didn’t just want to dramatize the biography.” And he didn’t.

Parking tickets can be appealed PARKING CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

vehicle, in the state that it was in.” When parking officers are writing a ticket, they are required to take a picture of the violation, director Geary Robinson said. Sometimes students receive tickets, move their vehicle into a different position and take their own picture to use in the appeal. These falsified appeals are denied, because evidence photos taken by parking officers are date and time stamped, Robinson said. In a checks and balances-like system, UNT police officers who do not give parking tickets around campus are the ones who approve and deny the appeals. The university continuously evaluates the rules, and is keen to repeated problems with regulations. If students routinely succeed in appealing the same violation, parking officials might consider changing it. “It helps us to resolve a lot of complaints because we go out there and see something that’s not right,” Robinson said. “My experience has been I’ll go out there and look at it and they’re absolutely right.” Meter tickets must be appealed within 24 hours, and regular parking tickets can be appealed within 10 days. A ticket in the appeal process will not acquire late fees.

Integrative studies senior Kristina Prater lives close to campus, but she doesn’t have a driveway. She parked on the street and she received a ticket for parking in a student parking area. Prater said the paint on the curb was rubbed off and hard to see. She said there were no UNT parking signs, so she appealed the ticket online but was denied the first time. She appealed once again and was approved after she took pictures of the area and spoke to an appeals officer in person. “I feel like that just helps you to explain yourself better,” Prater said. A common reason for successful appeals is when students are ticketed for forgetting to display a parking permit sticker, said Jonathan Grose, assistant director of UNT Parking and Transportation Services. Most citations are $35. Parking tickets don’t stay on driving records because the parking department is an administrative function of the university, not a state authority like the police. If a ticket is appealed, it is changed from a citation to a warning to record the offense, in case the driver repeats the violation. The department isn’t required to meet a quota for giving out tickets, Robinson said. “Our budgets are never

One student came to speak with Grose after receiving a ticket for parking at a broken meter. Grose said this led the department to implement a new system to regularly check and keep an updated log of broken parking meters. “We’ve came up with a more consistent way to address it and that

The survey is open until Oct. 31 and has a map where users can annotate comments about the quality of the streets. Robinson said he wants to improve the whole transit system, especially before the university grows even larger. “Right now, it’s as good as it’s going to get if we don’t fix it because we’ve got to figure out how to move people in and out seamlessly, and what we should be doing to make that happen,” Robinson said. “Your opinion matters as we move forward.”

College of Business to request more funding By Linda Kessler Copy Editor @LindaKessler Facing five years of declining or flat budgets, administrators of the College of Business are seeking more money from the university to meet its growing student population and a demand for programming. College of Business dean Marilyn Wiley said the college increased 4 percent in semester credit hours taken every year for the last three years. This year they are up 5 percent. In order to accommodate

this, the dean seeks to hire more faculty members and increase the school’s number of graduate programs. “Our budget is around $22 million a year because we are a large college,” Wiley said. “But I would love to see a five to 10 percent increase because it’s been flat for the last five years. I’d love to have another $2 million to work with.” Wiley expressed the need for faculty if the college is to expand its graduate and logistics program while expanding UNT’s presence throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The

university recently acquired a property in Frisco to serve as a satellite campus. “We have some key faculty positions we would like to fill, and as we grow toward Frisco and some of our other outreach programs, we’re going to need more people to do that,” Wiley said. “There are just things we can’t do because we don’t have enough faculty.” Wiley said she would also like to add faculty to the College of Business’ Risk Management and Insurance program. “[That] is an area where we could be a premier program

way we’re not issuing tickets for something we can’t prove,” Grose said. “We’re making improvements where we can.” To address the dorm resident parking issues, the department recently added more resident parking in the Highland Street parking garage on floors five through seven.

nationally, but we only have two faculty members,” Wiley said. “If we had two more we could just do amazing things. We could have those master’s level programs and have larger groups of students in more specialized classes than we do.” Wiley said a key focus is increasing faculty diversity. “Quite honestly we are an aging faculty. We have a lot of senior people who are going to be retiring and you’d like to have some younger people who can start a transition,” Wiley said. “I’d like to have a couple more positions just to increase the age diversity, and diversity in general.” Wiley said over the past six years, while she’s worked as both senior associate dean and dean, its budget has suffered multiple cuts. Vice Provost for Academic Resources Allen Clark said there have been budget cuts on a percentage basis for several years university-wide, not just for the business school. There are two parts of a budget – the budgetary items and fee-related items. The budgetary items relate to the costs associated with the College of Business as a whole, whereas the fee-related items are those involving the cost of individual class expenses, according to Clark. The decrease in business school funding stems from budgetary items, not fee

items. In order for the College of Business to receive more money, it will have to go through the new budget hearing process, Clark said. “In the budgeting process the focus is ‘How am I going to be able to help the university achieve its goals?’” Clark said. Clark said from January to March these budget figures will be enumerated and budget hearings will take place. Near the end of March, budgetary decisions will be made for each of the colleges. “For FY16, the president, provost and chief financial officer went through all items requested by each of the deans and tried to take as much money as possible and meet certain objectives,” Clark said. “With the College of Business, one of the major things was funding for increasing the number of courses for summer school and adding lecturers, part-time instructors or adjuncts where there was growth taking place.” Clark is optimistic of the college receiving increased funding for FY17 because of a positive legislative session and enrollment growth. “This year, our budget looks like it has not really increased from last year,” he said. “I’m hopeful that for next year it will be because we have requested three new faculty positions and we’re getting ready to request one more.”

SAFETY

Faculty campus carry meeting heats up Wednesday By Jynn Schubert Staff Writer @JynnWasHere

Thirty-two people met Wednesday afternoon in the Gateway Center to discuss the university’s campus carry policy. The room, set up for 200 people, was noticeably vacant, but that did not stop tensions from running high once the f loor opened for comments. Faculty members had a wide array of concerns, from their inability to ban guns in their own offices to requesting locks and peepholes on classroom doors in the event of an active shooter situation. Faculty members in attendance all seemed to agree on one thing: having guns on campus is not what they signed up for.

“When I accepted a job at UNT in 2004, I never agreed to teach classes, have office hours or consult with anyone who was armed,” journalism professor Tracy Everbach said. “To me, this law and its provisions violate my right to be safe in my work environment.” Some faculty attending the meeting worry about trying to talk to armed students about sensitive topics like cheating or failing grades. Other faculty suggested creating gun-free zones where professors could have these conversations, but were not satisfied with the university’s solution to keep guns out of these areas. The solution presented by Camus Carry Task Force chair Eric Fritsch was to put signs

up around the designated gunfree zones. Should anybody enter these zones with a gun and be caught, anyone who catches them is encouraged to call the police. “The university needs to look closely at this law and its consequences,” Everbach said. Another major concern for faculty is a potential rise in suicide rates, as the most recent attempted suicide on campus was only a month ago on Sept. 30. This made professors nervous. “I’m not sure if you are aware that two-thirds of gun deaths are suicides,” Everbach said. “That means that with easier access to firearms, the potential for people to kill themselves on our campus will rise.”

HEALTH

UNT researchers link insomnia to flu vaccine ineffectiveness By Jynn Schubert Staff Writer @JynnWasHere

A new study by UNT researchers suggests people who suffer from insomnia have an increased chance of getting the flu. The study, conducted by psychology professors Dr. Kimberly Kelly and Dr. Daniel Taylor, was the first to examine the link between insomnia and the effectiveness of flu vaccines in college students. Two groups of UNT students were tested, one group of healthy students with insomnia, and one without. Four weeks after each group had been blood tested and received flu vaccinations, their blood was redrawn and antibody levels were counted. “Even pre-vaccine, our kids showed antibody levels to [viruses] that were in the vaccine,” Kelly said. “What we showed was that even before the vaccine, those pre-levels floating around, the insomnia [students] were lower.” Once the second round of blood testing was examined, the results confirmed the theory. Students with insomnia had significantly lower antibody counts than their peers who did not suffer from insomnia. The research was sparked by Taylor’s interest in sleep

studies and Kelly’s interest in psychoneuroimmunology, the study of the effect of the mind on health and resistance to disease. The pair decided to use college students because they are less prone to health issues than elderly people and wanted to run their tests on ‘‘pure’’ insomniacs. Kelly said those at the highest risk for the flu are very young, old or are immunocompromised, meaning their immune systems are weaker than the average person’s. Given the results of their studies on healthy, college-age students, the pair is looking into testing their theory on different groups. “Insomnia causes significantly lower antibody production in those people who are all healthy,” Kelly said. “What about if they’re not? That’s where we want to go with our next grant.” According to the Centers for Disease Control, flu shots reduce odds of getting the flu by 70 to 90 percent. Chronic insomnia, which affects 15 percent of adults in the United States, lowers those chances. There are other health-related issues that can affect sleeping that students should try to avoid and are actually known to worsen insomnia, said Lawrence Epstein, a sleep specialist and instructor at Harvard Medical School. Things like cigarettes, alcohol and coffee can all

affect the way a person sleeps. “Some people drink caffeine in the afternoon when they feel tired, but it becomes hard to fall asleep at night, which perpetuates the problem,” Epstein wrote in an article on Health. com. “I recommend avoiding all caffeine after noon.” Taylor suggests removing anything from the bedroom that could distract from sleep, like TVs and laptops. He said waking up at the same time every morning, regardless of how much sleep someone got the night before, is a good way to improve sleeping patterns. Things like reversing the position of your head and feet on the bed or even sleeping on a couch or floor for a few nights can correct some problems associated with insomnia. “While you’re up, do something that you find relaxing. If watching TV is relaxing, fine. But if it’s stimulating, that’s no good,” Epstein wrote. “Reading and listening to music are good options. Doing your taxes or playing war games on the computer are not.” Stress can also have an affect on the amount of antibodies a person produces. For those worried about stress in this upcoming cold and flu season, UNT’s Health and Wellness Center offers eight free counseling

SPEAKER

Jose Antonio Vargas kicks off Distinguished Lecture Series By Chelsea Watkins Staff Writer @chelloo Jose Antonio Vargas spoke Wednesday night about immigration rights, identity and race to kick off the Distinguished Lecture Series. “If we want to get anywhere, we have to get uncomfortable with each other,” Vargas said. In 2013, Vargas created the film “Documented” to tell the story of his journey as an undocumented immigrant wandering the United States and the challenges that have come with it. Vargas, a Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist and filmmaker, was sent from the Philippines to this country at age 12 to live with his grandparents in California. It wasn’t until he was 16 and applying for his driver’s license that he discovered he was undocumented. In 2011, he penned his status as an undocumented immigrant for “The New York

Times Magazine.” After not being taken into custody after dispelling this information, Vargas became curious as to why no one had come to deport him. He wrote an article about it and even called the Department of Homeland Security himself, but they refused to give him an answer. Throughout the lecture, Vargas heavily used statistics to give factual insight to the undocumented population in the U.S. and dispel the preconceived notions some people have of undocumented citizens. “Facts are missing from the conversation,” Vargas said. Vargas challenged political figures like Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Donald Trump on their immigration views and criticized Texas for legally being allowed to deny birth certificates to American children born to some immigrants as of last Friday. “Why isn’t this a humanitarian crisis?” Vargas said. “Why is this

acceptable?” He also recognized that being an advocate for immigrants’ rights meant that he had to involve himself in issues that face other minority groups, such as women’s rights, LGBT rights and the Black Lives Matter movement. Vargas’s documentary, “White People,” premiered on MTV in July and was created to spark conversation about race in America. Vargas asked the audience to raise their hands if they were U.S. citizens. “I sincerely hope you don’t take it for granted,” he said. At the end of his session, questions were pulled from Twitter, and audience members were able to ask Vargas questions. Members of the League of United Latin American Citizens came to hear Vargas speak after becoming familiar with his work a week prior to the lecture. Gerardo Zermeno, vice president of LULAC, said this was an important issue, and labels should not be used when it comes to the immigration issue. “There needs to be more of an advocacy,” Zermeno said.

sessions a year for personal, career and even couple’s therapy. Though they haven’t yet filed for their next grant, Kelly and Taylor

have already looked into how they’ll continue their research. “We’ve already talked to a local hospital, and we want to look at health

care workers,” Kelly said. “Primarily nurses, but whoever we can get: EMTs, physicians, whoever.”

when they need work done on their bikes, he said. Mopeds generally cost around $500, but certain models can reach prices up to $1,800 or more. The upkeep is much cheaper than a car, Salter said, estimating monthly expenses at roughly $100. They also get much better gas mileage, and some can reach over 100 mpg. “Growing up, all the cool kids in the neighborhood had mopeds,” Salter said. “Now, I don’t only ride them, but I get to fix them up and make them like new again.” When something goes wrong with a member’s moped, bike mechanic Jake Knight said members of the Moped Army do anything they can to help fellow riders. After Knight purchased his first moped this past spring, he realized he would need some help getting it into a safe, usable condition. Knight got in touch with Williams, who helped him fix various issues and taught him more about mopeds. He joined the Moped Army soon after, saying he has taken pleasure in finding a community within Denton interested in the restoration and riding of the vintage vehicles. “Owning a moped is satisfying because you get to take something that’s old and restore it,” Knight said. “There are no mass manufacturers of mopeds anymore, but there are hundreds of brands of mopeds. You get to make it your own and then share it with other people interested in them.” While Knight said many people might look at mopeds as scooters or as a type of bike, they are much more to him. Moped Army, he said, is a group that appreciates the distinctive

The Clothesline Project returns to UNT By Tiffany Ditto Contributing Writer

Trying to keep her hands steady, biology sophomore Sianoush Badei very carefully squeezes paint from a tube onto a blank T-shirt. As she added more paint and placed it on the line to dry, the yellow shirt was transformed into a work of art that represented battered or abused women.

In honor of domestic violence awareness month, the Clothesline Project made its annual return to UNT on Tuesday in the Library Mall. Sponsored by the Multicultural Center, the dean of students and the Meadows Center for Health Resources, the project is an event where students decorate shirts to spread awareness about many types of violence. “I chose yellow because [sexual

assault] happens a lot in my country, Iran,” Badei said. “That’s what inspired me to participate.” Each shirt color represents a different act of violence. White represents women who died as a result of any type of violence. Red, pink, and orange represent survivors of rape and sexual assault. Yellow represents battered or assaulted women, while blue and green stand for survivors of incest and sexual abuse. Purple represents women who were attacked because of their sexual orientation, and black represents women attacked for political reasons. “The clothesline supports survivors,” Multicultural Center graduate assistant Olivia Henderson said. The project is a nationwide event that began in Massachusetts in the fall of 1990. Since its debut, communities across the nation have joined in. The goal of the project is to raise awareness for survivors of violence and facilitate the healing process for individuals who have

either survived or lost someone to these types of violence. According to the National Victim Center, one out of two women will be in a violent relationship, and a sexual assault occurs in America every 107 seconds, according to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network. “People don’t think this stuff happens all the time, and it does,” developmental family studies junior Ameena Young, a sexual assault survivor, said. “[This event] brings awareness about how much these things happen. “ Students trickling through Library Mall stopped to decorate shirts at the event all afternoon. Henderson said a line of students were waiting to participate before the event officially began. Jasmine Pulce from the Meadows Center for Health Resources said this year’s event was so successful that next year’s event may need to be even bigger. “We may try to display the Sexual assault survivor Ameena Young, a developmental family studies junior, decorates a shirts somewhere else,” Pulce said. “We need more tables for next year.” shirt for the clothesline.

Kirk and Summerlin co-run The Vision Beautiful, a cinematic portraiture company that films and photographs music videos, short films, weddings and portraits. “Simply put, The Vision Beautiful is a photography company,” said film senior Summerlin. “But it’s also Denton’s best-kept secret, where two people in love spread love all around town.” Kirk began snapping photos when he was 13 years old, after his parents gave him a camera and 99 rolls of film. Once he started accepting commissions from clients a few years later, he decided to officially start the business. Kirk drew inspiration for the name The Vision Beautiful from a dream and a script he wrote back in high school. “It was about an idea so beautiful that it gives you a purpose in life,” Kirk said. Roughly a year and a half ago, Kirk invited Summerlin to be his partner in the business. “He asked me to join once I think he realized he really wanted to keep me around,” Summerlin said. “Since then, I’ve been trying to add more of a spontaneous and fun aspect to the team.” When the duo is on set working together, Kirk focuses on the lighting and composition while Summerlin focuses more on expressions and emotions. “Seeing how she shoots my setups really helps me consider things that I usually don’t,” Kirk said. Over the course of his career, Kirk realized it was taking him too long to finish a shoot. He started The Week of Models challenge, which forced him to finish a shoot within 24 hours. This included planning, preparing, photographing, editing and uploading the finished product all in one day. He continued to repeat the process for seven days a week,

create something unique.” Summerlin broke down the process the couple goes through when starting a new project. First, the duo brings all the creativity they have to the table, and then they find some people they’d like to model for them. Once they find their models, the two make a swift call to their makeup artist to set up a time, pick out their locations and outfits for the shoot and meet up with the rest of the team. Once the team finishes shooting their photos, the whole staff goes out to get pizza or Whataburger, and

the couple returns to edit their shots. They finish the project by repeating these steps every day for a week. “I love meeting new people and being in weird situations,” Summerlin said. “It’s nice to make people smile with what we do.” Along with The Vision Beautiful, the pair is also responsible for the People of Denton blog, the annual “sweater bombing” of the statues outside the Environmental Science building and collaborating with the We Denton Do It blog. “The most rewarding part is being able to contribute to Denton in a positive way,” Summerlin said.

the basis of Jobs’ biography, the life of a timeless intellectual slowly dying, and started digging. Sorkin said he spoke with Sculley, former CEO of Apple, who hadn’t talked to Jobs since his departure from the company in 1993. He built his scenes based on what Sculley told Sorkin. A similar angle was taken with Lisa, Jobs’ daughter, who refused to take part in Isaacson’s biography while her father was still alive. Sorkin said he and Lisa grew close and he learned a lot about the relationship she had with her father. With Wozniak, Sorkin said he was able to find the anger and passion in a man who otherwise didn’t speak his mind. “I took the facts from the book and combined them with my own subjective inference based on the time I spent with these people,” Sorkin said. This helped to form three 40-minute segments throughout the film, leading up to the reveal of three products: the Macintosh in 1984, the NeXT Computer in 1998 and the iMac in 1998. These moments happen in real time for the audience. The discussions are drawn out beautifully and show Sorkin in top form. There are witty remarks and a whole lot of yelling between Jobs and his high school sweetheart Chrisann

Aaron Sorkin Brennan, Sculley, Wozniak and developer Andy Hertzfeld. The audience comes to know Jobs as an angry, self-absorbed man. Despite his shortcomings, he’s still worth the viewer’s empathy. Sorkin said writing this character was similar to writing Mark Zuckerberg in 2010’s The Social Network. “It’s very important you don’t judge them. You have to defend them,” he said. “I have to make the case as to why God should let them into heaven.” One of the core concepts in Steve Jobs, the idea that design can be so much more than face value, is prominent throughout. By the end of the film, Jobs is an antihero to the audience. He’s not the pearl genius who invented the iPhone, but an accepting father willing to appreciate what he’s created. “This is a painting. It’s not a photograph,” he said. Sure, Steve Jobs isn’t a verbatim depiction of the life Jobs lived, but it’s a damn good film that shows the flaws in a technological hero.

‘God I want to put him out there, but I can’t.’ When I felt like he had earned it and understood it, he really started coming along.” Smith said he joined North Texas over other universities with the

promise of being able to compete for the starting job. “I understood I didn’t have much time left, and the clock was ticking,” Smith said. “So common sense, just seeing how the quarterback position was here, I said, ‘Hey this could

possibly be an opportunity for me to go somewhere and compete to play.” Before his arrival in Denton, Smith was a four star prospect out of Seneca High School in Louisville, Kentucky. The quarterback was verbally committed to the University

of Louisville for much of his senior year before finally signing with the University of Central Florida, despite not playing a game there. He then transferred to Western Kentucky, where he played behind Hilltoppers’ senior quarterback Brandon Doughty, whom many believe to be a National Football League prospect. After realizing he would have to live in Doughty’s shadow for a few more years, Smith transferred to Butler Junior College for the 2014 season, before finally ending up in Denton. “[Doughty] and I were roommates, and he told me he wanted to come back. And I didn’t want to stay behind him for another three years,” Smith said. “I respect him. He’s a great quarterback. But I felt like I was ready. I think it was more of just a timing thing and making sure I got in the right system.” Ironically enough, Smith’s first start in a Mean Green uniform came last Thursday night against Doughty and Western Kentucky. In a 55-28 loss, North Texas’ newest field general accounted for all four Mean Green touchdowns, piling up 350 all-purpose yards. Junior defensive end Jarrian Roberts said Smith creates numerous problems for opposing defenses and was happy to see the spark Smith gave the offense, which reached its highest point total of the season. “As pass rushers, you can’t get

behind [Smith]. You have to stay in your lanes,” Roberts said. “He’s dangerous when he gets outside the pocket. Very shifty.” Canales agreed and added that Smith has one of the strongest arms he has ever been around. The statement was validated when the quarterback connected on a 46-yard Hail Mary touchdown to end the first half against Western Kentucky. “He gives us the ability to really push the ball down the field and take some shots,” Canales said. Both Canales and Roberts describe Smith as a competitive, assertive player who believes he can win any game he plays in. It’s a stark contrast to the “quiet competitiveness” Canales used to describe senior quarterback Andrew McNulty, who started the first five games of the year. “He just brings a confidence about him that he truly believes he can win every game,” Canales said. “He hates to lose in drills, and he believes he can will the team to win with his performance.” Even though North Texas has yet to win a game this season, Smith said he remains focused on taking advantage of his opportunity to play football. That’s what matters most to Smith, regardless of the school’s national reputation. “I needed to make sure I would get an opportunity to get on that stage where I could prove myself,” Smith said. “And that’s what made it easy on deciding to come to North Texas.”

A collection of Mean Green fans has raised $2,000 in roughly 24 hours to fly a banner over Apogee Stadium at the football team’s home game on Saturday, Oct. 31 that reads “Fire Rick Villarreal.” The GoFundMe was created on Monday, Oct. 19 by UNT alum and current Mean Green Club member Michael Weber, and it exceeded its goal total of $1,900. Twenty-two registered people have donated to the banner. “I did this to give people who don’t have a voice in athletics a voice,” Weber said. “It’s not personal. I’m sure he’s a great guy. But at some point, there has to be accountability.” The move is one in a series of public outcries toward North Texas athletic director Rick Villarreal, who fired former head football coach Dan McCarney minutes after the team lost to Portland State University by a record margin. Villarreal is responsible for the building of Apogee Stadium as well as other athletics facilities at North Texas, but his history of hiring and firing coaches has stirred up discussion among Mean Green faithful. In 100 football games under Villarrealhired coaches, North Texas’ record is 28-72. “Rick’s done a lot of good things, and he made people care about UNT athletics,” Weber said. “And because of that, people demand better.” Rick McKinney is a former Mean Green Club member who left the club this year due to his perception of the athletics department. He donated $100 to the GoFundMe fundraiser because he believes many fans are “fed up” with the state of the program and refuse to go to games anymore. “I hope that it makes some people who are in charge of the university aware that they have ignored this problem for far too long,” McKinney said. Villarreal said he is aware of the campaign. The next home game begins at 6:00 p.m on Halloween, but the GoFundMe page says the banner will fly before the game. Weber said if Villarreal, for some reason, is not the athletic director come next Saturday, the money would go elsewhere. “I would love for the situation to be remedied by then,” Weber said. “Then we can donate that money to the Mean Green Club.” Senior Staff Writer Reece Waddell contributed to this report.

SWIMMING

Freshman twins on swim team compete with and against each other Clay Massey Staff Writer @Clay_FC

There are two women on the North Texas swim team that are both freshmen, stand at 5’5 tall, and share a last name. Surely enough, Meaghan and Kathleen Rousset are twins. Born just nine minutes apart, the twins are both graduates of Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock, Texas. They both found success in high school, earning state finalist recognitions in their high school careers, and both ended up joining swimming coach Brendon Bray at North Texas. But that wasn’t necessarily the plan. “We never said, ‘Oh we have to go to the same school,’” said Kathleen, a marketing major. “I think in the back of our minds we knew we would end up going to the same school.” Fortunately for the twins, North Texas didn’t want just one of them. “It worked out that Brendon was able to offer a spot for both of us,” said Meaghan, a biology major. “Not every college coach was going

to be able to offer a spot for two people to do the same event.” Meaghan and Kathleen both compete in breaststroke, and Meaghan also competes in the individual medley event. This creates a lot of situations during meets where the twins are forced to compete against each other. The twins encountered this in high school as well, but Bray enjoys the dynamic Meaghan and Kathleen bring to the team. “It’s really fun and creates a lot of complex situations,” Bray said. “They compare themselves to each other all the time. It’s interesting because when you’re with a friend, you compare yourselves, but you know you’re inherently different. You know you have different capabilities. That doesn’t really apply when you’re a twin. When you’re a twin, you are genetically same.” Meaghan and Kathleen are the first swimmers in their family and started swimming at eight years old in a summer league in their neighborhood. A competitive passion drove the twins to get involved in swimming year-round, making them the swimmers they

are today. “To be honest, they weren’t great swimmers at age 8,” said Hope Rousset, the girls’ mother. “They were really upset when other kids would do better than them. I told them those kids swim year-round, and that’s what they wanted to do.” While the twins are hard to differentiate outside of the pool, in the pool they are completely different athletes. Being coached the same way growing up, they have similar techniques, but their execution varies. “I think if Coach Brendon watched us in the pool, he could definitely tell the difference,” Meaghan said. One of the best parts for the girls about being teammates, they said, is the ability to push each other. Despite their competitiveness in the pool, they want nothing but the best for the other. It is sibling rivalry in its purest form. The girls’ mother has seen them compete more than anyone and said the rivalry is something she’s noticed over time – not just in swimming. “They lived with their competition basically,” Hope said.

“That went through other things in their lives, even schooI. I think they push each other, but I think it was all for the best. It just made the other one work harder.” Meaghan and Kathleen wanted to make sure they were not living with the competition this year, as they asked coach Bray to make sure they room separately. The girls are on a similar workout regimen, routine and diet due to the swim program. Similarities in their routines, bodies and mindset amplifies their competitiveness towards each other. “If I see her and she swims before me and gives her best time, I think, ‘Yeah I should be able to do that,’ mainly because I know how we work together,” Kathleen said. “If she’s doing better than me, I wonder why I’m not doing as well as her.” As competitive as the sisters seem, they still have a soft spot for each other and never let their rivalry get the best of them. “We keep each other in line,” Meaghan said. “We want to beat each other, but at the same time we want each other to do well.”

NUTRITION

Steady diets proving to be vital for North Texas athletes By Alex Lessard Staff Writer @alexlikechexmix With early morning workouts, practices, games, classes and tutoring, student athletes are some of the busiest people at North Texas. Through it all, ignoring fast food chains and maintaining a steady diet from restaurants around Denton and on-campus dining halls remains a main priority. Combining a specific diet with a strenuous training regimen is vital to staying in pristine shape throughout the season. To help out, coaches of Mean Green soccer, swimming, football and cross country bring in nutritionists at the beginning of each season to give players an idea of what foods are best for replenishing their fuel outside of practice. Swimming and diving head coach Brendon Bray said carbohydrate-centric diets are even more important for his athletes in comparison to those from other sports based on how much they train, usually totaling more than 20 hours of pool time per week. “It’s more important for us because it has a direct relation to how they perform when they’re in the pool on a daily basis, and that’s our main evaluation,” Bray said. At the peak of his career, the

diet of U.S. Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps went viral. Phelps once told ESPN that he eats as many as 10,000 calories per day to keep in shape. He said his diet included plenty of pizza and pasta, something North Texas swimmers Michelle Balcaen and Gaby Colunga can relate to. “Everyone’s heard that story about how much Michael Phelps eats, and it’s true,” Balcaen said. “We’re in the pool for an hour and a half to two hours at a time. We’re constantly going and picking up pace and moving fast. You are burning a considerable amount of carbs.” The timing of when to eat what foods plays a huge factor as well. Consuming giant meals right before a practice or performance is rarely a good choice, but doing so 48 hours to a week beforehand can prove beneficial in the long run. Balcaen, Colunga and cross country senior Troy Taylor all benefit from “carbo-loading” in preparation for meets or races, often times cooking massive amounts of pasta to both eat and save as leftovers for later. But athletes across North Texas all focus on controlling their meal portions on a daily basis, usually eating up to six times a day. “You definitely just want to eat constantly,” Taylor said. “You’re burning a lot of calories every day you run. I try to have three main

meals a day and try to snack in between them.” Before a morning workout, it’s important for athletes to get in at least 300 calories with some type of protein intake. The convenient location and quality selection makes Victory Hall’s Champs Cafeteria the overwhelming favorite for Mean Green athletes, providing a good mix of protein, carbs and vegetables at all times of the day. If a member of the football team is not showing proper progress during daily weighins before lifting, strength and conditioning coach Lewis Caralla makes sure they come to breakfast at 7:15 every morning. Caralla said fluctuations in weight from day to day can be a good indicator of how much sleep and hydration an athlete is getting. So when athletes fill their plate with all their favorite foods, Caralla sometimes has to put the hammer down. “I’ve had times where I’ve had food on my plate after a good practice, coach will walk by and snatch something off my plate,” junior defensive tackle Sir Calvin Wallace said. “I’ll be kind of sad, but I know it’s for the best. So I can’t really say too much about it.” Eating the occasional bag of chips or packet of candy throughout the day isn’t going to kill an athlete’s diet, as long as

Athletes need about 300 calories with some type of protein intake before a morning workout. Matt Brown | Senior Staff Photographer they don’t make a habit of it. Most college athletes grew accustomed to making healthy choices in high school, so passing up on stopping by at the local Whataburger has become second nature. Additionally, habits of staying hydrated throughout the day have been ingrained into the minds of athletes from an early age. In the Texas heat, drinking enough fluids is even more imperative, especially for sports that involve a lot of cardio. Cross country members run nearly every morning, approaching 50 miles in a typical school week and up to 100 miles a week in the summer. In soccer,

keeping up with cardio is just as important. Senior midfielder Lindsey Hulstein said if players aren’t in shape for 90-minute games each weekend and multiple practices every week, there’s not much that can be done. “For me personally, water is a huge component,” Hulstein said. “I have to carry a water bottle with me at all times.” For football players, being out on the field constantly during camps in scorching August months puts a lot of strain on their bodies, especially with all the padding and protection they wear. While some players believe eating lean and eliminating fat

from their diet is the way to go, Caralla makes sure to emphasize the importance of essential fats like olive oil and the consumption of protein shakes multiple times a day. No matter which position group a player is from or how fast his or her metabolism is, eating properly portioned meals throughout the year and staying consistent with healthy choices is the only way to achieve their goals. “You can lift as much as you want, you can work as hard as you want,” Caralla said. “But if the diet isn’t right, you’re not going to see the gains you want.”

FOOTBALL

Defensive end Roberts thriving despite lack of collegiate offers

By Alex Lessard Staff Writer @alexlikechexmix Growing up in Clarksville, Texas, a town with only two red lights and just over 3,000 residents, playing Division 1

football was something local kids could only dream about. But one graduate of the 2011 senior class from Clarksville High School defied the odds thanks to the one university willing to take a chance on him. Junior defensive end Jarrian

Roberts has continued to prove the doubters wrong thus far in his North Texas career. After redshirting in 2012, the 252-pounder saw increases in playing time and production each of the next two seasons, showing the coaching staff enough to earn a permanent starting spot this year. With that opportunity, Roberts has matched his previous career total with four sacks this season, all coming in the first three games. No other Mean Green defensive player has more than one. “He’s got the ability to play multiple spots up front,” defensive line coach Kevin Patrick said. “A guy of his size and having that ability really enables us to put him in good one-on-one matchups across the board.” Jarrian’s love for football started in the second grade. He was always one of the biggest kids on the team growing up, often times playing offensive line due to his size. But as he got into high school, Roberts found his niche on the defensive side of the ball. At the linebacker position, Jarrian racked up 118 tackles and six sacks in his senior campaign. His performance was rewarded with District 6-1A Defensive MVP honors but still went largely unnoticed by universities across the country. Despite his knack for making plays all over the field, Jarrian did not have a clear role when he first arrived at North Texas. Under former defensive

coordinator John Skladany and current coordinator Chris Cosh, his skillset and playing style has evolved into something unique. “I’m kind of a smaller guy, a finesse guy,” Jarrian said. “I try to show power at times, but I just want to get after the quarterback.” This season, Cosh has used Jarrian as his primary pass rusher, lining him up at different positions depending on the situation. While teammates like junior defensive tackle Sir Calvin Wallace fill the necessary gaps, Jarrian is left with only one man to beat before having a free shot at sacking the quarterback. “Put him on the inside, he’s going to win. Put him outside, he’s going to win. Put him at linebacker, he’s going to make that play,” Wallace said. “That’s just the type of guy he is.” Jarrian showcased his versatility in the first home game of the season against Rice University, finishing with three sacks and four tackles for loss. The sack total was the sixth most by a North Texas player in a single game in the past 18 seasons. “When you start fast, it always builds confidence,” Jarrian said. “Before you know it, I was just on a roll.” Having the resiliency and positive mindset through his career can be traced back to one of his biggest mentors growing up. His older brother, Ricky Roberts, nearly lost his life after a heart blockage caused him

Dylan Nadwodny | Staff Photographer to pass out during a Lubbock Christian University basketball practice while Jarrian was in high school. Although it took eight years, Ricky didn’t let the scare stop him from earning his college degree. This is something Jarrian learned from and applied to his own life. “He kept going through it and strived to be better. No matter how long it took him, he was always positive about it,” Jarrian said. “I think about him every time I’m on the field.” His motor has helped him transform into one of the team’s biggest leaders this season. Wallace said he is always pushing teammates to watch extra film and do anything possible to get an edge on game days. “He’s a leader, especially on the defensive line,” Wallace

said. “He really takes it upon himself to do a lot of things that other people wouldn’t do.” In a defense that has given up a Conference-USA worst 50.2 points per game, Roberts has been one of the lone bright spots. As long as he continues to put weight on, work on his footwork and become more consistent, Patrick believes Roberts can become one of the best pass rushers the Mean Green has ever had. Roberts has not recorded a sack the past three games, but the hope for a positive finish to one of the worst seasons in North Texas history hasn’t faded. “I just want us as a team to play to our full potential,” Roberts said. “We’ve played good here and there in a couple quarters of different games, but I just want to put it all together.”

The resounding point is this: middle ground exists. Find a costume that can be memorable without being offensive. The reason entire cultures find offense to crude depictions of their respective heritages has nothing to do with sensitivity but rather with the inaccuracies and stereotypes they encourage. So this Halloween, be safe, have fun, and leave the Native American headdress at home. It’s not hip.

Halloween is an exciting time for the college crowd. Let’s face it, we’re all bit childish at heart. Costume parties have replaced trick-or-treating, and the night holds as much a promise of fun as it did in earlier years. As one gets older, ideas for costumes shift from superheroes

DAILY DIVERSION

LY DIVERSION

and animated favorites like SpongeBob Squarepants to more adult themes, like adding the word “sexy” to an inanimate object. Sorry, but sexy microwave is not exactly a costume. In saying this, it may come as a surprise to some that a costume doesn’t have to be offensive or worn at the expense of others in order to be awesome. Yes, a taco costume is funny, albeit unoriginal, but throwing a sombrero or maracas in the mix treads on potentially polarizing ground. Plus, it’s just disrespectful. Instead of poking the bear named cultural appropriation this Halloween, how about considering something that will promote laughter and set the stage for

Instagram photos rather than raise eyebrows? While the fake mustache and poncho getup might grab a few chuckles here and there, the exchange student from Mexico City probably won’t appreciate having his culture inaccurately depicted by the dude passed out on the couch. So please, reconsider before leaving the house dressed as a snake charmer next Saturday. Any second guesses should be considered red flags, and if you’re still unsure, get a second opinion. Blackface is not okay, ever, and the Fez is overdone and in poor taste. Need some ideas? Jon Snow. Katniss Everdeen. The Snapchat ghost. That’s three without breaking a sweat, and all would be appreciated by at least a few. Don’t like those? Put that college brain to use and freaking Google it.
