Five campus buildings without fire sprinklers

City plans for natural gas plant Denton officials unveiled an initiative Tuesday for the city to use more renewable energy sources and to build a natural gas plant by 2019.

City staff said the plan is for Denton to obtain 70 percent of its energy through solar and wind energy, an increase from the current 40 percent, which is detailed on the city’s newly launched website.

Denton Municipal Electric provides 41 percent of the city’s energy from renewable sources, according to the website. Forty percent is made up by wind energy, and the other 1 percent is made up of landfill gas. By 2019 Denton officials want 52 percent wind energy and 17 percent solar energy with the remaining 1 percent still being landfill gas energy.

“I think it’s good we’re starting the conversation,” Denton Mayor Chris Watts said. “It looks like something that could be very exciting.”

The mayor said this effort began by talking with residents.

He said renewable energy became so affordable the plan was able to move forward.

District 1 councilman Kevin Roden said people who oppose hydraulic fracturing inside the city limits are concerned about the new natural gas plant being built, while others support the proposal.

“We want to include the citizens in any big decision the city makes,” Roden said. “But by and large, the people I talked to are excited about it.

There are five buildings on campus that do not currently have operable fire sprinkler systems, but the university is not violating legal codes.

College Inn, Clark, Maple, McConnell and Sycamore halls are without sprinklers because the previous fire codes, at the time the halls were built, did not require them.

The codes did not require the buildings to have a fire sprinkler system installed, the same way some older model vehicles did not come with safety belts.

But as UNT expands, more funds are going to retrofit the buildings with sprinkler systems.

Bruce and Crumley halls were previously without the system but have recently been brought up to code. Clark Hall is undergoing a project, and Maple Hall is scheduled to have its system installed during summer 2016.

College Inn will be an exception to the rule, UNT System Fire Marshal Pat Dunlap said, because residents of the hall have direct access to the exterior.

Students have expressed concerns over the signs posted at Sycamore Hall warning students about the lack of fire sprinklers.

“There was never a sprinkler system at Sycamore Hall,” fire systems supervisor William Pingry said.

The signs were only posted because sprinkler heads were

Wide receiver Harris couples love for football with own fashion line

By Reece Waddell Senior Staff Writer @ReeceTapout15 One of the lone bright spots for the Mean Green football team this season, senior wide receiver Carlos Harris spends most of his days making highlight reel plays and torching defensive backs with his breakneck

speed.

But Harris has a passion off the field many do not know about, one he said rivals his passion for making plays on the gridiron: owning and managing his own clothing line, Dapyr.

“Growing up, my dad and my granddad dressed really well,” Harris said. “I went through a point where I didn’t

really care about fashion, but toward the end of high school I started to really get into it.”

Harris describes his brand as “high fashion street wear” and has modeled his line after companies like Represent Clothing.

Coming out of high school, Harris partnered with a few of his friends to form the Dapyr line.

He said all of them have a passion for fashion and undertake different tasks.

“I’m mostly in charge of denim, and my friend is in charge of shirts. It’s a pretty unique style,” Harris said.

“I’m really into jeans, so that is mainly what I do right now.

That and hats.”

Daughters of breast cancer patients create ‘pink palace’

By Julian Gill Denton Record-Chronicle @JulianGillMusic Last year, when Carissa Latinen-Kniss found out that her mother, Sandra Latinen, was diagnosed with Stage 3.5 breast cancer, she thought to call only one person.

Khristen Pahler, her best friend, had seen the worst of breast cancer when her mother, Sharon Stanley, died from the disease in 2009. In the four years Pahler’s mom was terminal, Latinen-Kniss had been her support system. Now, it was Pahler’s turn to help her friend.

Latinen-Kniss recalls what Pahler said when she called her.

“It wasn’t an ‘I’m sorry,’” Latinen-Kniss said. “It was like, ‘First, I’m going make you laugh because it’s not the end of the world. And second, your mom is sassy as hell and she’s going to kick cancer’s ass and now we’re going to kick cancer’s ass. And this is what we’re going to do.’”

Both women have become as close as sisters since they started Twisted Bodies Pilates and Yoga

in 2008. They refer to their studio on Elm Street as the “pink palace” — most of the interior walls are painted pink.

They offer traditional yoga and Pilates sessions but also focus on therapeutic rehabilitation training for women with breast cancer, specifically for those who have undergone a lumpectomy or mastectomy.

Pahler said the death of her mother sparked her devotion to the business, while LatinenKniss said her mother’s diagnosis has helped them “supercharge it.”

“After my mom died, I felt like there was a whole part of me that was gone,” Pahler said. “So I was kind of just in survival mode, and I just didn’t have anything because she was my best friend. So opening this place — it was life.”

Pahler and Latinen-Kniss met through their kids. They were frequently called to their children’s preschool when Pahler’s youngest daughter and

SUPERNATURAL

Denton: a supernatural hotspot

By Andrea Czobor Staff Writer @AndreaCzobor Ghost stories have been lurking in Denton since the first days of its establishment in 1857.

Between 1860 and 1895, 14 major fires, taking out entire blocks, occurred on the Square. Miraculously, no single Dentonite died in those events. One fire occurred at the Opera House, which now houses the Recycled Books, Records and CDs shop,

where books have been known to literally fly off the shelves.

“I can only share bread crumbs of Denton’s supernatural past, but book a tour and I will answer your ghostly desires,” Shelly Tucker of Ghosts of Denton said. “Nearly every building is haunted, if you believe.”

With over 30 years of storytelling mastery, she dipped into the roots of the entities surrounding her work to publish the Ghosts of Denton book. A majority of buildings around the Square have a history of spookiness. Even the courthouse has its

share of haunts.

“Denton doesn’t seem like a place of entities, but hearing about all these spooky places makes my friends interested to investigate,” sociology freshman Hailey Boland said. “I want to take a risk, but I don’t know how I’ll react if I actually meet my first ghost.”

Old Alton’s bridge is better known to some by its eerie alias, Goatman’s Bridge. It is said that in 1938 Oscar Washburn, a goat raiser, was attacked by the Ku Klux Klan and hung from the bridge. His home and family were burned because of local white

Some parts of the University Union will open in November, and beginning Monday, Oct. 12, student organizations can reserve space for events. But there is no clear timeline for when the entire building will be open for the UNT community.

The announcement came Tuesday in an email from UNT spokeswoman Margarita Venegas.

There are areas still in need of dry wall, and power tools cover parts of the building.

Zane Reif, the senior director of the University Union, says the building is coming along well.

“We’re almost bricked on the outside,” he said. “Interior walls are being painted and we will install audiovisual in a couple of weeks. Furniture is arriving in a couple of weeks.”

The big reason why the Union has delayed opening is the heavy rainfall in May. “There were over 43 days of rain delays,” Reif said.

Reif said although the rain slowed the construction process, the construction company Beck/ Warrior progressed well through the summer.

The date to request Union space are Monday, Oct. 19, for faculty and staff. People outside the UNT community can reserve space beginning Oct. 26.

‘One-stop shop’ at Student Veterans Services ends runaround

By Eline de Bruijn Staff Writer @debruijneline

Student Veteran Services has not always been under one roof in Sage Hall. Before University Union construction began, student veterans were subject to the same communication inefficiencies, known as the UNT runaround by the greater student body.

As the University Union prepares for its grand opening in November, staff at Veteran Services reflect on how the old Union, Stovall Hall, was closed and how the closure actually helped centralize the Veteran Affairs office. The office used to be housed in multiple buildings about campus.

The Student Veteran Services office is a place for UNT’s veteran population of almost 2,900 to gather and handle administrative paperwork. The center has a peer mentor program, student accounting office, computer lab, study room and registrar’s office, allowing student veterans to have their essentials taken care of all in one place.

James Davenport became director of Student Veteran Services in July 2014. He is a 21-year veteran of the Army and a UNT alumnus.

“Every student [should] be able to come to one place and take care of their supportive needs,” Davenport said.

Kevin Clarke, a new student and Navy veteran, said the staff at the center helped him with paperwork when the registrar’s office in the Eagle Student Service Center could not.

“I definitely plan on using their services in the future,” he said of Veteran Services.

About 60 percent of student veterans come through the center to drop off paperwork and the other 40 percent do so online, Davenport said.

“A lot of times they don’t get further than that front desk,” Davenport said. “I wish 100 percent of the veterans would come through here, [but] I know that’s probably an unreachable goal. If we can catch them, we show them what the rest of the office is, because it is the student services and we want them to use

that.”

In November 2013 at UNT Libraries’ Speak Out series, one veteran said he felt left out at new student orientation. Since he took his position, Davenport has made it essential to greet new students at orientation and require veterans to attend an hour-long veterans’ session afterward.

“I have an open-door policy, and what that means is if I’m sitting in this office, I’ll stop what I’m doing to talk to someone,” Davenport said.

“Because of the uniqueness of my population and some of the things the veterans have been through, I don’t want a chance where I didn’t make time for someone and something happens later on that I might regret.”

Another issue that surfaced at the series was a need for more student veteran funding. The office recently hired a professional psychologist and more full-time staff specifically for student veterans. Davenport said he’s aware of the call for more services, but added he will only request more funding from the university when about 80 to 90 percent of the veterans on campus utilize the services.

“We are a unique group, but there [are] a lot of other unique groups here too,” Davenport said. “I think we are equal…so I don’t think that’s fair to the university or all of the other students, because there [are] a lot of students, not just veterans, who have emotional issues during college.”

Senior Andrew Austin served in the Air Force for seven years. Austin visits the computer lab often and networks for jobs. Operating hours are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the week, so sometimes veterans can’t come by the center.

“A lot of veterans are commuters, have jobs or are generally older,” Austin said. “But I’m in here a lot and there [are] quirks about us that people here understand.”

Military Advanced Education ranked UNT a “top school” distinction in spring 2015. They look at population, graduation rates, resources and academic programs for student veterans, Davenport said.

Student Veteran Association is another service for vets on campus.

Veterans can get guidance from other

Director of Veterans Student Services James Davenport poses in his office on Monday. Haley Yates |Staff Photographer veterans through the peer mentor program. Mason McKenzie, who served in the Army for four years, mentors students on campus. “[SVA] is not as well known, but students enjoy the feeling of being a part of that,” McKenzie said. “For mentoring, I share my experiences with students and how I handled things.”

Veterans can receive educational benefits through the Hazelwood Act, Post 9/11 G.I. Bill, and others.

For these benefits to pay for school, veterans must complete courses specified in their degree plan. The registrar’s office within the center helps veterans navigate through the system and make sure they take correct classes.

“Sometimes student veterans get burnt out on paperwork,” McKenzie said. “But they have to be proactive to get the ball rolling. We’re here to help.”

Some veterans may be carrying around wounds from war, but they all served for different reasons, Davenport said.

“Remember: we’re people just like you,” Davenport said. “We want to be treated with dignity and respect, and I would say I would respect a veteran student like any other student and any other human being.”

SUSTAINABILITY

Union to begin some operations in November Denton sustainability seminar on campus Friday UNION CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

By Jynn Schubert Staff Writer @JynnWasHere A free, public seminar over the future of sustainability of Denton is set for 3 p.m. Friday in Environmental Science 130.

Mayor Pro Tem Dalton Gregory will host the event and hopes the UNT community will contribute to the city’s ongoing efforts.

The seminar will cover the unexpected growth in the urban area of Denton and how to sustain the population increase while maintaining local control.

The room will be open for students to make comments and ask questions.

“I’m just always interested in new points of view and new strategies,” Gregory said. “I’m always looking for someone who thinks outside the box and hearing something that may be a little different than what we’ve heard before.”

The city of Denton currently runs at 41 percent renewable energy, with hopes of expanding to 70 percent by 2020. However, Gregory says the city plans to reach that goal much sooner with the help of Denton’s

internationally renowned landfill.

“We’re actually mining methane that is produced in our landfill,” Gregory said. “And we’re burning it to produce electricity for about 1,600 homes a year.”

Gregory will also be answering student’s questions and concerns on hydraulic fracturing, with the recent outcry for a fracking ban in Denton.

“There’s certainly an ethical as well as a legal argument to be made.” Gregory said.

This is part of a TGI Friday seminar series hosted by the Geography Department, and it will be going on throughout the fall with different speakers.

Michael Wood and Steven Neehin, who lead tours for the Union, say the building is about 95 percent completed.

The temporary buildings around campus that house the Barnes and Noble and the food court will be taken down when the Union is completed.

Features of the spacious new University Union include the Barnes and Noble bookstore, Design Works, Eagle Images, a Wells Fargo branch, a dance room, a meditation room and a lactation room. The Union also sports more environmentally friendly features such as a rooftop garden, low-emitting and low hazardous materials, censored faucets, dual flush toilets and low-flow urinals.

When the buildings come down, the spaces will remain empty and free for students to use.

“We are going to leave the turf areas as they were, and we will be thinking of things to support McConnell Hall,” Reynolds said. “That area is like their backyard, so we want to make it into something useable, where the residents could throw a frisbee and just hang out.”

DEGREE

University plans to offer two new majors

By Sarah Lagro Staff Writer @Lagroski

The university will soon offer two new degree programs for students studying public health and merchandising. The UNT Board of Regents approved the degree programs during its Aug. 28 meeting.

The programs, public health and retail, are expected to launch fall 2016, but are not official, as they must first be approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.

A bachelor of science degree in retail will be achieved through the College of Merchandising,

Hospitality and Tourism. The bachelor’s in public health will be available through the College of Education’s division of kinesiology, health promotion and recreation.

Health promotion lecturer Jennifer Edwards said according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, there will be a greater demand for undergraduate programs in public health by the year 2020.

“The Bachelor of Science in Public Health is an innovative undergraduate program that develops students with interests in service, science and health,” Edwards said. “Ebola and the

flu are just the start of critical health issues that a degree in public health equips students to address.”

Edwards said development of the UNT public health program will meet regional business demands because of the numerous public hospitals, health departments and nonprofits in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

“These organizations will need our future graduates to support their efforts,” Edwards said. “Graduates can work in positions such as epidemiology, program planners, specialists, and analysts.”

The bachelor of science in public health will be composed of a modern public health core, with focuses in either population studies or biological sciences.

Students on the population studies track will study social sciences to implement and evaluate health programs based on the knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and socioeconomic determinants of health that affect special populations.

The biological sciences route will develop public health practitioners who will link the life sciences community with users of scientific information.

UNT will be the only university in North Texas that offers an undergraduate fouryear public health degree program. All classes will take place on the Denton campus.

The program allows eligible students to take select courses online for graduate-level credit in their senior year through a partnership with the UNT Health Science Center in Fort Worth.

Through those graduatelevel credits, they can get acquainted with graduate school requirements and adjust earlier to upper level courses.

Hospitality management

junior Tom Stover said a Bachelor of Science in Retail should appeal to plenty of students.

“There’s always a need for good management,” Stover said.

“I think this will be a good option for people who aren’t into running a business, but know the industry.”

Judith Forney, dean of CMHT, declined to give any information regarding the retail program until it is approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.

Forney said approval should be announced within the next few weeks.

Daughters of breast cancer patients create ‘pink palace’ REHABILITATION CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Latinen-Kniss’ oldest boy would get caught snuggling during naptime.

They eventually got to know each other after scheduling play dates for their kids. Then in 2005, Pahler’s mother was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer, and Latinen-Kniss didn’t see or hear from her friend.

“We weren’t even really that close of friends,” Latinen-Kniss said. “I just kind of pestered her.”

When Latinen-Kniss found out about Pahler’s mother, she started asking Pahler if she wanted to join her for Pilates in the park. Although Latinen-Kniss already was a certified Pilates instructor, she trained Pahler for free because she wanted the practice. She also thought Pahler could use a physical release, she said.

But Pahler didn’t take Pilates seriously until her mother’s health declined significantly.

Pahler started using therapeutic Pilates techniques, which she found on the Internet, to help her mother regain some of the mobility she lost after a mastectomy in 2000.

In a mastectomy, the entire breast is surgically removed, along with the cancerous part of the breast tissue. In most cases, the tissue removal leaves many patients with decreased mobility in their arms and back.

Pahler had realized there was a problem when her mother couldn’t reach down to pick up her 6-month-old grandchild.

“They basically tore her apart, took everything away, and sent her home with tubes in her,” Pahler said. “They had her

come back in two weeks, took the tubes out and said, ‘You’re good to go,’ and that was it. So they took her body parts away from her and said, ‘Carry on with your life.’”

Pahler focused on training her mother and others who did not receive any type of rehabilitative training after surgery.

While she was training to become a certified Pilates instructor — a process that sometimes takes up to two years — she spent a weekend in pink ribbon certification training learning how to help women regain their strength.

Latinen-Kniss, who had become very close to Pahler, said it was her lifelong dream to start a Pilates and yoga studio, and Pahler was already diving into the therapeutic side of movement. They said starting a business together was a natural decision.

So in 2008, Pahler and Latinen-Kniss started going to people’s homes and training them. Without a formal studio, they used an old truck to haul their portable reformer — a piece of resistance exercise equipment — a few hair bands, weights and a mat.

Pahler taught one-on-one rehabilitative sessions to clients with breast cancer for free because she said they already had gone through enough emotionally and physically.

When Pahler’s mother died in 2009, she said the business became something to live for.

“The first time I trained somebody with the pink ribbon therapeutic training, I would go home and I would cry,” Pahler said. “It was awful because I was watching them go through all that, and my mom was already gone at that point.”

Pahler and Latinen-Kniss opened up

their studio at 508 S. Elm St. in 2013 and continued to offer rehabilitative training programs for free. Pahler still teaches one-on-one sessions with her clients who have breast cancer, and tries to get them through a six- to eight-week training program while they undergo chemotherapy and radiation. Sometimes, women have to vomit in the middle of a session, Pahler said.

But Pahler is flexible with her time and training techniques. She understands the emotional and physical toll breast cancer takes, and many clients are grateful for that.

Lisa Whipple is a two-time breast cancer survivor. She was diagnosed first in 2002 and again in August 2014, just one month after she started classes at Twisted Bodies.

“When I wasn’t at my best, we could Twisted Bodies co-owner Khristen Pahler demonstrates a hip key hold during her class on modify my range of motion,” Whipple Aerial Skills Monday October 5, 2015, in Denton, Tx. Al Key|DRC said.

Still, Pahler and Latinen-Kniss’ over her classes when she isn’t available.

The Dose: Malala documentary shows voice, victory

By Matt Payne Senior Staff Writer @MattePaper Witnessing the tragedies selflessly endured by the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner to date, as well as the leading voice for women’s rights and political rejuvenation of the Pakistani government, Malala Yousafzai makes for an unmistakably dramatic documentary.

Elements intended to persuade the audience to experience sympathy for the leading protagonist and her family permeates the entire film. There is animation best likened to a children’s storybook with impressionistic artwork.

Anecdotal, day-in-the-life scenes portray Yousafzai as the young, maturing girl she is. These moments characterize the documentary, as well as a musical score that follows the pace of the movie.

“He Named Me Malala” is a documentary that highlights the injustice afforded to young Yousafzai, who stood against the terrorist group that has seized her homeland. It is a touching, well-deserved platform for a contemporary, international icon.

As the movie begins, the audience is immediately faced with an animated portrayal of the Battle of Maiwand, which is led

by Yousafzai’s namesake, Malalai of Maiwand. Yousafzai and her father mirror the manner in which Malalai of Maiwand and her militia opposed the invading British troops

in 1880. The scene segues to focus on Yousafzai’s retrospective account of the violence while living in a residential sect of the U.K. and attending boarding school with other girls.

Rather than promoting the emblazoned, pragmatic and even peaceful campaign against the Taliban that Yousafzai is at the forefront of, the documentary is perhaps overly sentimental toward a political benefactor ruthlessly tried by inhumane treatment and bullets.

The Nobel Peace Prize winner has a story that speaks volumes on its own.

We recently spoke with director Davis Guggenheim and questioned the organization and presentation of the film. Guggenheim described his choice of impressionistic portrayal through animation as an appropriate medium.

“I could have done the reenactment with guys with helmets or animate it in a style that was the way I would imagine it,” Guggenheim said. “But the choice we decided was this: Imagine Malala being 11 years old and her head is on her pillow and she’s about to go to sleep and she was imagining the story and thinking, ‘I was named after [Malalai of Maiwand].’”

Additionally, these familial relationships serve as a driving component of the movie. But through the film’s presentation and side-featuring of Yousafzai’s father, Ziauddin, the audience is persuaded to question whether Yousafzai’s story is necessarily her own, or built on the foreground established by her

father who initially started a school for Pakistani girls.

“Of course that draws criticism,” Guggenheim said. “Did he create her? Is she just a person of his making? I think when you watch the movie, you have to watch and draw your own conclusions. It’s the reason why I picked that title, which sort of provokes that question. Why did he name her this? What does that mean?”

The direction and focus of the documentary simply come across as scattered.

The documentary’s chief consequence is a welcome into the life of a young girl with a fascination for iPads and FaceTiming, the prospect of having a boyfriend for the first time and her tightly-knit family. Not that any of that is to be regarded with disdain, but her affiliation, as both an anonymous blog contributor with the BBC and orator for the United Nations, almost seem like footnotes.

According to Guggenheim, the purpose of the film was to highlight the dichotomy of the Nobel Peace Prize winner as both a political benefactor for uncompromising equality and a girl at a boarding school.

“I’m a 51-year-old dude, and my father’s Jewish and my mother’s Episcopalian. How dare I even attempt to tell her story?”

Guggenheim said. “I think Malala would say to you that my process was a great way to get her to speak about things that she, herself, had never spoken about before.”

Taking it to the streets: The art of dance

By Kyle Martin Staff Writer @Kyle_Martin35 There are a myriad of approaches to dancing, but the freestyle form has become one of the most popular with this generation. Movies like “Step Up,” “You Got Served,” “Stomp the Yard” and many more highlight the lengths at which bodies can be taken in the art of dancing, serving as inspiration and motivation for dancers all over the world.

For a few North Texas students, it’s become a passion they’ve dedicated a large piece of their lives to.

Interdisciplinary arts and design senior Taj-Campbell Walker calls up the crew every once in awhile to lead a “sesh,” a random group gathering of freestyle dancing. It could be anywhere at anytime, but when it’s going down people really show out.

“In a sense we’re practicing, but it doesn’t feel like we’re practicing,” Walker said. “We’re all just going off each other’s vibes and dancing.”

They call themselves “street dancers,” and they all share a love for the art of dance. In these sessions, people have the chance to release emotions, creativity, stress and excitement. But more importantly, it’s simply a chance to dance. Walker has been dancing for nearly eight years and plans to keep his passion going.

“Before, we used to do it more frequently, but this year starting off

we haven’t been proactive,” Walker said.

With everyone’s busy schedules, it’s hard to put aside time for a session outside of homework, jobs and extracurricular activities, but somehow they all still meet when the time comes, and that makes each encounter all the more special.

Spontaneous gatherings on campus are a normal thing for Walker and friends, but competitions are entirely different. Walker sometimes makes trips out to the Dallas and Plano areas for “battles,” or competitive dance events, with computer science sophomore Tristan Shelton.

Battles are where dancers really test their skills and get to call out other dancers to see who is the “best of the best.” These events are set up bracket style, meaning they can be one-on-one, two-on-two, or crewon-crew. The goal is to eliminate the opposing dancers to make it to the top. There is often prize money involved, adding an edge to the competition. But artists are usually more interested in seeing who has the most fine-tuned and impressive skills.

“You’ve got to be on top of your stuff,” Walker said.

At these competitions, what should be held above all else is a respect for the dancers and their performances.

Shelton said those who are more focused on the competition will get

in peoples’ faces and call them out too aggressively. Once he ran into a dancer that he said was a little too eager to hit the floor and challenge him.

“Some people take the fun out of it because they take it too seriously,” Shelton said. “It should be about having fun and enjoying the experience.”

Breaking down and getting the body moving is what kinesiology junior Aunzhané Walker is all about.

A dancer since she was 10 years old, Walker sometimes attends the campus sessions.

She said she finds joy in the art.

“I started out watching these shows like ‘Dance 360’ and ‘Dance Club 21,’ and then I started mimicking the moves,” Walker said.

“From there, that’s when I started practicing.”

Walker said she practices anywhere she can find: an empty room, a vacant studio, anywhere on campus.

She said she just loves to dance, and wants to spread her love through teaching.

“By the end of the year, I want to have at least 50 students,” Walker said. “I want to help kids understand they can do anything they want to.”

In her spare time, Walker teaches kids to bust a move and let their bodies do what they want to the beat of the music.

Walker said there’s a different aspect to dance that lets people express themselves in ways they wouldn’t otherwise be able to.

“You’re speaking from your soul when you dance,” Walker said. “You see people dance, and you see them speak with their bod[ies].”

farmer jealousy.

Teenagers who heard of the story began investigating and reporting activity as early as the 1950s, reporting disappearances, audible snarls and sightings of the red eyes of the Goatman.

Tucker said she believes this to be an urban legend, as there was never a Washburn stated in Denton census records between 1860 and 1940. But the Association for the Study of Unexplained Phenomenon has visited Old Alton’s bridge, ran tests and found evidence to prove possible Alton settlers may be haunting the bridge.

There are also a fair share of hauntings in the dorms and houses on the UNT campus.

Bruce Hall, one of the oldeststanding residence halls on campus, was home to a teenager named Wanda from the 1950s, who died aborting her child.

“I live in Bruce, and I really

don’t know if Wanda exists, but I’ll take it safe because the last thing I want is to wake up with a ghost in my room,” journalism freshman Keaton Steil said.

The old Lambda Chi house on UNT campus at McCormick Street and Interstate 35 has also been known to bring students chills.

“I’ve seen and been around the old Lambda Chi house at night and I feel like I’m at an abandoned haunted house,” converged broadcast media senior Katie Brelin said. “I wouldn’t go in, or recommend anyone to consider going alone.”

Audiences at any of the Campus Theatre’s Addams Family productions, beginning Oct. 23, may be lucky enouugh to catch a glimpse of harmless stage light f lickers from the ghost of J.P Harrison, the kind, dressy theatre manager from the 1960s.

“I have always been curious, and one day when our science catches up, we will better understand the energies around us,” said Teal Gray, psychic medium and CEO of Teal Gray Worldwide.

Gray hosts a radio talk show to over 50,000 worldwide listeners over health, science, theology and paranormal subjects. She also lectures on quantum physics, psychic and interspecies communication and said she leans toward what science can prove exists.

“I believe in many different forms of communication, and by reading tarot cards and tea leaves, I help my clients better themselves,” Gray said.

“Not everything unexplainable is caused by a supernatural phenomenon.

Ninety-nine percent of things can be explained, but in that instance that there isn’t enough to make sense of it, I don’t just hop onto a bandwagon.”

UBER

Are Uber drivers in need of a Lyft?

By Matt Payne Senior Staff Writer @MattePaper October is a month characterized by leaf piles, a refreshingly cooler climate and pumpkins carved into jack-o-lanterns with spooky expressions or charming grins.

It also means rent is due, and with roughly $200 in his bank account, mechanical engineering senior Floyd Horung wasn’t smiling. He was scared straight, hustling to his Chevy Impala after classes on Oct. 1 to drive for transport company Uber until midnight.

“I can work my ass off tonight, taking as many calls as I can muster, but this job isn’t as reliable as it once was,” Horung said. “If customers cancel midway as I’m en route, I’m caught circling the area, wasting gas and missing other call opportunities.”

Uber Technologies has seen a nationwide employee backlash over the past few weeks, specifically in response to a proposed directive from the company that would obligate the premium-grade UberBlack drivers to accept the lower rates normally assigned to UberX drivers.

While the company rescinded the proposed policy, now allowing UberBlack drivers to opt out of the cheaper fares in response to the four-day strike by hundreds of drivers outside the Dallas-Fort Worth office, Horung, an UberX driver for more than a year, still sees many f laws with the treatment of the drivers on a fundamental scale.

“In a lot of ways, being a driver for Uber is not worth it,” Horung said. “Although there are several students needing rides in Denton, you don’t always have the ability to make the most profit from your drives, and it is extremely cheap.”

The price-per-mile for UberX rides has dropped from $1.20 to 85 cents over the past year, and Uber will deduct anywhere from 20 to 28 percent out of the revenue a driver gets from a shift. In addition, the GPS software can be inaccurate and spotty at times and the lack of a tipping system is even further crippling.

“Customers often have no idea where exactly streets of Denton are, and it can be difficult coordinating,” Horung said.

Horung also noted if a driver has any grievance or problem, they do not have the ability to speak with a representative locally. Issues drivers experience must be reported to the cor porate office in Dallas via walk-in.

“We can’t even call them.

We have to make a trip all the way to a crowded office that sometimes takes weeks to follow up,” Horung said.

The lack of a telephone line is cumbersome for Horung, but theatre junior and D-F W cor porate office employee Corey Ray claims a telephone line would be “never-ending with phone calls,” and even without a driver hotline, Uber actively cares for its customers. Ray noted the decrease in protestors over the past weeks.

“Uber does its best to make sure the drivers are cared for, and when any grievances are expressed by drivers, the company keeps it as fair as possible,” Ray said.

When posed with the drivers’ complaint of customers canceling rides, Ray referenced the cancellation fee of $6 for UberX drivers and $10 for UberBlack drivers. He agreed it can be frustrating for drivers when they are unable to make as much profit as potentially possible, but ultimately placed that responsibility upon the drivers themselves.

“I’ve made friends with many of the drivers because

I see them all the time, but I think what confuses a lot of drivers is that they aren’t a part of Uber, but are partnered with Uber,” Ray said. “They run their own business with the aid of the company.”

Local resident Cari Hatcher is a former driver of both Uber and Lyft, a competing transportation service.

Uber, in comparison, was a more lucrative prospect for Hatcher, as it is are more widely known, but it was the lack of communication and understanding with the company that ultimately made her seek opportunity with Lyft.

“I lost a rental phone from [Uber] when a lowlife, extended family member stole it from my house during my mother’s funeral,” Hatcher said.

She approached Uber with the situation, requesting help in tracking the phone.

“They said they couldn’t.

On top of the device fee of $10 a month, I now owe hundreds of dollars to the company, all in one swipe,” Hatcher said.

Hatcher visited the Uber cor porate office in Dallas on occasion. She recalled lines wrapping around the front of the building and a crowded room with employees stationed on their laptops.

“Uber is kind of heartless,” Hatcher said. “I’ve never really had an issue with Lyft.

They’re less stuck-up and encourage drivers to fistbump their riders and have them sit up front so they feel more like friends.”

Horung described his time with Uber as a persistent decline. As he drives for Uber through his unorthodox hours after long days in class, he can’t help but consider opportunity elsewhere.

“This used to be a good way for me to pick up a lot of money after class,” Horung said. “Now, I’m finding that I made more money as a delivery driver for Papa John’s.”

VOLLEYBALL

The Palileos: Like father, like daughter

By Torie Mosley Staff Writer @toriemosley

For head volleyball coach Andrew Palileo, “Bring Your Kid to Work Day” has become an everyday reality.

Freshman defensive specialist Alyvia Palileo joined the Mean Green this fall, making this her third year playing for her father.

Alyvia began playing for her dad’s club team, North Point Volleyball Club, two years ago.

Although she gets to play for her dad, she still knows her place on the team.

“I guess there’s a lot of expectations for me to be a leader,” Alyvia said. “For practice I always come a little early. I’m not the team captain or anything, so I know that the older girls run everything. But

I take care of what I can as a freshman.”

Alyvia said playing for her father might seem new to other players or fans, but it is nothing out of the ordinary for her.

“I think a lot of people think that it’s a new thing, but I’ve had 18 years of him being my coach,” she said. “When we come to practice, whatever happens on the court, I’m going to take whatever criticism he gives me.

And then when we’re off the court, it’s totally fine.”

Coach Palileo said his experience teaching his daughter on and off the court has made coaching her on the collegiate level much easier.

The third-year Mean Green coach has a reputation of being strict with the volleyball squad during practice and games, but he said nothing changes with the

addition of his daughter to the roster.

“I can [criticize] Alyvia, and we can ride home together in the car and be father-daughter,” he said. “I’m just as hard on her as everybody else and might be even a little harder, but I prepped her for these moments.”

Although Alyvia played for Coach Palileo’s North Point club team for the past two years, she didn’t consider playing for North Texas until last spring.

After visiting other schools and not leaving recruiting visits satisfied, the freshman decided to take the one offer she couldn’t refuse.

“It was always a joke, like, ‘You know you’re going to end up playing for me.’ And I’d be like, ‘No way. Never,’” she said.

“As things panned out, I saw a couple of schools that were

alright. The club season went on, and I decided that I’d play for UNT.” Team captain and junior setter Amy Henard remembers seeing Alyvia first play under her father when Henard worked as an assistant coach for Palileo at the North Point club.

Henard said the chemistry Alyvia and coach Palileo have on and off the court makes it easier for teammates to play together.

“I got to coach Alyvia, which was fun, and I just got to see them off the court before she got here.

So I knew their relationship,” Henard said. “They have a lot of the same sense of humor. If he’s in a bad mood, she knows the right joke to say to him to make him laugh and lighten the mood.

So it’s actually good to have her around sometimes.”

Alyvia said she looks up to the older players like Henard and senior captain outside hitter Carnae Dillard for guidance.

The freshman formerly played as a setter throughout her career but had to change to a defensive specialist because of her height.

At 5’7 , it is difficult to compete as a setter at the collegiate level.

Following in the footsteps of the more experienced players on the team has made transitioning to a new position much easier, according to the Denton Guyer High School graduate.

“I think they’re both really good leaders on and off the court,” Alyvia said of Dillard and Henard. “When all the freshmen came in this year, all the older players took us under their wing right away. It’s been a transition coming here, but I think the team has helped a lot to get me through that by teaching me as I’m going. And I’m really grateful for that.”

Coach Palileo said he’s starting to get used to seeing his daughter at work every day, opposed to just seeing her after work before.

“She’s a good, cultured

DEFENSE

North Texas football bogged down by defense

By Reece Waddell Senior Staff Writer @ReeceTapout15 Through four weeks of the 2015 season, the North Texas football team is 0-4 and has been outscored 180-67.

The historically bad start prompted ESPN to rank North Texas dead last earlier this week in its weekly college football power index, placing 128th out of 128 Football Bowl Subdivision teams.

But with the offense averaging 365 yards per game, it has been the defense putting North Texas into a big hole in every game so far this season. Opponents are averaging 45 points and 516.75 yards per game against North Texas, which is 376 yards per game more than the top ranked

defense in the country, Boston College University.

It’s an alarming trend that head coach Dan McCarney said cannot continue if his squad wants any chance at winning games.

“It’s pretty obvious the stats are ridiculously poor right now,” McCarney said. “But we aren’t executing. We have too many missed tackles, too many blown assignments. I don’t have an issue with our scheme at all. It’s executing our scheme that we’re having a problem with.”

One of the biggest issues the team has faced defensively has been getting off the field on third down. North Texas has allowed the opposition to convert on 60 percent of its third down attempts, the worst percentage in all of FBS. Even worse, opposing

quarterbacks facing third down of more than seven yards have completed 87.5 percent of their passes, 15 having gone for a first down and four having gone for a touchdown.

First year defensive coordinator Chris Cosh said if he could attribute the defensive struggles to one thing, the inability to get off the field on third down would be it.

“It’s put us in some really bad situations,” Cosh said. “Sometimes it forces us to work with a short field, and more importantly it gives the guys extra reps and they get tired. They get gassed.”

Before the season began, the Mean Green lost senior defensive back Kenny Buyers for the year to a back injury that required surgery. Not only did this remove

North Texas’ best member of the secondary, it also created a void in leadership on the field.

In Buyers’ absence, the Mean Green have surrendered 286.75 passing yards and nearly three receiving touchdowns per game, “Kenny’s a great leader,” Cosh said. “Anytime you lose a guy like that it affects your team. But it’s just been the next man up. That’s how it is.”

But the “next man up” theory has not provided positive results.

North Texas is ranked last in Conference USA in total defense and has allowed an even more staggering amount of yards on the ground than through the air. The Mean Green has allowed a 100yard rusher in every game this season, giving up an average of 230 rushing yards per contest.

Head volleyball coach Andrew Palileo and his daughter, freshman defensive specialist Alyvia, pose at the court after practice. Dylan Nadwodny | Staff Photographer kid for our team and battling hard everyday to try to get on the court,” he said. “It’s good because I get to see her every day. We don’t necessarily talk every day, but just knowing she’s around is great.”

Alyvia also said she’s warmed up to seeing her father every day on and off the court, even if she needs her space sometimes.

“We have a really good relationship. I think I’m his best friend, actually,” she said. “Some days we don’t talk as much as other days. But it’s nice, because for the most part we’ve always been friends, and we just joke around and have a good time when we’re together.”

As a coach, Palileo said he tries to implement different techniques to prepare for games every day. But as a father, he

tries to give his daughter space to grow as both a player and a person.

“I try to let her grow up and do her own thing and trust that she’s making the right choices,” Palileo said. “The biggest thing I’ve talked to her about being the coach’s kid is that you have to be the first one in and the last one out every single time. She’s done a good job getting [the team] to trust that she’s not going to tell me everything they’re talking about. So the trust is there.”

Palileo said he knows coaching Alyvia will be a challenge as the next few years of her college career approach, but he looks forward to all the time he’ll get to spend with his only daughter.

“It’s fun to coach a kid,” he said. “Especially if they listen.”

Sophomore linebacker Calvin Minor said the team has been working on specific techniques in practice to help combat the struggles against the run.

“Tackling, that’s been the biggest thing,” Minor said.

“Wrapping guys up, driving them back, and making sure we stay on top of them at the line.”

Adding to its struggles has been North Texas’ inability to win the turnover battle. McCarney’s squad is currently minus four in the turnover margin, a statistic that has caused the offense to work even harder to produce points.

“We aren’t getting enough right now, and that’s been pretty clear if you watched us play,” McCarney said. “We have to do a better job of creating chances for our offense and getting takeaways.”

Going into its homecoming game against Portland State University, a Football Championship Subdivision school,

North Texas is listed by Las Vegas odds makers as a one-point underdog. Typically FBS schools are favored over FCS opponents, but a winless record for the Mean Green and the Vikings coming in at 3-1 tipped the scales toward the visitors.

Minor did not take too kindly to learning of the Mean Green’s underdog status.

“I didn’t even know we were an underdog until you just told me.

Wow, yeah, that does bother me,” Minor said. “That does upset me.”

McCarney said for the team to improve immediately, each player needs to compete with a chip on their shoulder.

But the leader of the maligned North Texas defense feels the team has plenty of incentive already to get the team back on track.

“We’re all plenty motivated,” Cosh said. “We all want to get the first win. That’s motivation enough.”

FASHION AND FOOTBALL

Senior wide receiver Carlos Harris poses with a hat from his fashion line, DAPYR, at Apogee Stadium.

FOOTBALL CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

I’m up here all the time doing this,” Harris said.

“And don’t get me wrong, I love [playing football].

But there have been times when I haven’t been able to do everything I wanted to do, but I provide feedback and input any chance I can.”

His teammates have also taken notice of his off the field endeavor. Sophomore running back Jeffrey Wilson said Harris talks about his line frequently, so almost everyone on the team knows about his life as a fashion guru.

“Oh yeah, he talks about it,” Wilson said. “But it’s really cool. A lot of the guys in the locker room know about it, and I think it’s awesome. It’s different.”

When asked if he would wear any of Harris’

clothes, Wilson had a simple response.

“No way, man. It’s way too expensive for me,” he said. “Great look though.”

Even though he dedicates hours to his fashion line, his loyalty to the team has paid dividends.

Harris is averaging 103 yards and 6.75 receptions per game this season and is also just 66 catches shy of breaking the North Texas all-time record for receptions held by Casey Fitzgerald.

But success has not always come easy for the senior. Officially listed at 5’8, Harris is the fourth shortest player on the Mean Green roster.

Head coach Dan McCarney said he is proud of the progression Harris has made on the field the past four years.

“He’s done what he’s done ever since I got here,

and that’s make plays,” McCarney said. “He’s a competitive guy, and whether the defense is in man or zone, he just believes he can beat people. Every Saturday he defies the odds because he is one of the smallest players on a Division 1 football field, but that doesn’t matter to him.”

Harris said he has used several tactics to overcome his height problems, but he credits one thing in particular for staying resolute year after year in both of his passions.

“Really, you just have to have that mindset, and for me, my dad always pushed me to be the best,” he said. “It didn’t matter what it was. Whether it was football or fashion, he always pushed me to get better.”

In his final season of collegiate play, Harris said

he is unsure of what his path will be after his time at North Texas is over.

If his aspiration to play in the National Football League does not pan out, Harris hopes to go into fashion marketing and earn a living either designing custom pieces or continuing his own line.

“If [Dapyr] doesn’t take off, it’s okay. I really like making custom pieces for people,” he said. “I actually make a lot of custom pieces for myself, so I hope to continue to be able to do that.”

Until Harris knows whether or not he will be sporting an NFL jersey come draft time next April, he intends on continuing to dress to impress while making plays for the Mean Green on the field.

“Without a doubt, I’m the best dressed player on this team,” he said. “I pull it off.”

QUIDDITCH

Quidditch club breaks away from tradition

By Alex Lessard Staff Writer @alexlikechexmix

Dodgeballs, volleyballs, six circular hoops and broomsticks.

A group of North Texas students has found a way to take these items and create a sport out of them with the help of J.K Rowling’s Harry Potter series.

North Texas Quidditch provides students and others around Denton with a chance to play the magicbased game from the Harry Potter books and compete against rival schools, both in Texas and in other states around the country.

“It’s arguably the fastestgrowing sport in the country right now, just because it is so new,” team captain Mason Kuzmich said.

“It’s really taking off at college campuses all over the place.”

While the rules of quidditch seem complicated in the book, the 7-on-7 game translates seamlessly to the muggle world. Three chasers shoot volleyballs, called quaffels, through one of three opposing hoops, earning 10 points per score.

Additionally, they must navigate past the opposing goalkeeper and make sure not to get hit by two enemy beaters, who can knock out opposing players with dodgeballs, called bludgers.

The game ends when a seeker from either team snatches a golden tennis ball from the snitch, and the team with the most points at that time wins. While things are a bit different from the movies, where players fly on broomsticks, participants must hold a broomstick between their legs at all times.

Accounting senior Bryan Perez said games can get extremely physical despite common

misconceptions.

“People think it’s a weak sport, but it’s full contact,” Perez said.

“Everybody is in really great shape once you get to the tournaments.

You can’t be a skinny little nerd out there. You’ll get wrecked.”

Finding himself with a lot of free time in the spring of 2012, Perez and a couple friends decided to gauge interest in forming a quidditch club on campus. Once enough students were on board, Perez took his idea through the student organization board and got quidditch approved as an official North Texas sport club.

“I rounded up two or three friends, and we got a little game going,” Perez said. “We built our own hoops--really bad hoops--out of duct tape. Since then, it hasn’t really taken off, but we have a little more people out here, and we’re competing.”

The team is regulated by U.S. Quidditch and competes in the Southwest region, which includes 26 schools and communities from Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas. To expand its presence across the country, U.S. Quidditch does not require players to attend their team’s university.

Those rules led North Texas Quidditch to make the switch from a sport club to a student organization in 2014, sacrificing all university funding in the process. The team provides its own equipment and pays for travel and other expenses exclusively out of pocket. The travel team carpools to most events, but they often don’t have as many players as they would prefer during tournaments.

“We wanted to stay open to that, especially with how little members we have right now,” Perez said.

“We can’t be turning people away.”

The team is currently preparing for the fourth annual Diamond Cup, a Southwest regional tournament taking place on Nov. 14 in San Marcos that the University of Texas has won three years in a row. In the meantime, North Texas will look to compete in scrimmages with nearby schools after playing a friendly match at Southern Methodist University last weekend.

North Texas Quidditch practices three times per week at the Beer Barn fields off Bonnie Brae Street, going through intensive cardio training and teaching newcomers the basics of the game.

As a member with six years of experience, Kuzmich has taken on the role of both a player and a coach this semester to help prepare the team for stiff tournament competition.

“They’re big. They’re athletic.

They will knock people around,” Kuzmich said. “You can’t let people go into that blind.”

The club requires no prior knowledge of the game or of the Harry Potter series before coming to practice, leading to a good variety of participants. Whether someone is interested in the rugby and soccer aspects of the game or are just a Harry Potter fan, there’s always an open slot for newcomers, including computer science freshman Anna Mae Goodman.

“We get people who have sports backgrounds, and you have people who have never even seen a Harry Potter movie out here,” Goodman said. “This is one of the best games ever.”

In compliance with Title 9 3/4, a rule administered by U.S. Quidditch to prevent gender discrimination, a maximum of four players per identified gender

are allowed to play at once for each team. For Goodman, the rule has allowed her to learn a sport for the first time in her life.

“You may feel silly your first couple practices because of the broom, but it gets to the point where you’re proud if you can run without holding on to it,” Goodman said.

Although North Texas Quidditch has struggled at tournaments since its formation, the club provides an opportunity to learn a unique sport, meet new people and be part of a close-knit community.

“If you want an easy way to have fun, stay in shape and be a part of something new, this is it,” Kuzmich said.

Seeker Mason Kuzmich looks for an opening to pass the quaffle to his teammates.

major offered a summer job on Capitol Hill, might rank the exposure to and experience with those in the top of their respective fields over any amount of money they could’ve made at a paid gig.

In any case, a certain responsibility falls on the student to properly judge the merits of their respective offers and what they personally feel to be valuable. But companies at large should consider their obligations to understand the needs of those who they could eventually hire, as someone with the right skills might not have the means to work without pay.

In the end, there is no single solution to these problems, and disputes will persist even if companies at large are one day legally required to pay all interns across the board.

In the meantime, students should ask themselves yet another question: If you aren’t being paid, what does it say about the company offering you the position?

As graduation looms for many, a question raises concerns for those about to embark on what they hope will be their first step into a prosperous career: is an unpaid internship equal to monetary compensation if the experience is greater?

One notable lawsuit, which was filed in September 2011 and recently overturned, opposed the practice of

The results found 63.1 percent of students in paid internships had already received a job offer in contrast to 37 percent of those in similar unpaid positions. In comparison, out of the 35.2 percent of those who had not had any sort of internship, only 1.8 percent less than those unpaid had received a job offer.

From these results, it would seem that those taking an unpaid internship have built themselves an opportunity in parity with those who have taken no temporary position.

These results are troubling, but their implications raise issues of their own.

If the monetary value of an internship is nil, the argument of compensation tends to become subjective.

Asking a student what they’ve gained from experience in their field, paid or not, is not scientifically quantifiable and is dependent on the experiences of the individual.

unpaid internships at Fox Searchlight Pictures. The company was shown to have violated both federal and New York minimum wage laws by not paying its interns.

The judge found these internships did not constitute an environment indicative of the student’s education in their respective field of film, and the benefits to the studio from interns’ work were directly quantified in the production of the Oscar-winning film “Black Swan.”

Even after the second Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the previous ruling in favor of the interns, elements of the argument against unpaid internships remained.

A report done by the National Association of Colleges and Employers asked 9,200 graduating college seniors across varying majors about any past or ongoing internship they might have had. They also asked if the students had received any job offers prior to graduating.
