Committee talks Denton air quality BY A NN SMAJSTRLA Senior Staff Writer

The cit y of Denton Gas Dr i l l i ng Ta sk Force held a meeting Monday night, discussing action items for the regulation of air quality. The meeting lasted for three hours, said Dr. Tom La Point, task force member and UNT biology professor. The meeting was open to members of the community, who had an opportunity to ask questions and voice concerns to the task force. “We have some big issues that we’re looking at, and the first big issue was air quality,” La Point said. “And that’s largely what we talked about last night, is how to enforce some air quality rules in the ordinance.” La Point said there are more factors than just drilling to consider when writing the new ordinance. The distribution of natural gas needs to be considered as well, which is where the concern for air quality arises. “We hope to make sure as a task force that the city will minimize absolutely and even

stop gas emissions going into the air from gas production,” he said. The Gas Drilling Task Force formed last August. According to chairman and city of Denton gas well administrator Darren Groth, members of the task force were chosen based on specialized knowledge of the environment or gas drilling issues. The task force discusses and researches issues relevant to the new Phase II Gas Well Regulation amendments, and makes recommendations to the city council based on its findings. The group will be meeting every Monday until March 26 and plans to discuss a major issue at each meeting, said task force member Kenneth Banks. The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, Jan. 30, and the discussion will be centered around water quality. Meetings are held at 6 p.m. in the city council chambers at 215 East McKinney St.

UNT tries for Jones’ 200th career win Men’s Basketball BRETT MEDEIROS Senior Staff Writer

New televisions placed throughout the Union mainly display in-house advertisements, campus event schedules and important university news. Plans to install a new electronic kiosk have been put on hold.

New kiosks on hold pending Master Plan ISAAC WRIGHT

Senior Staff Writer After tearing down the information kiosk outside the University Union last spring, Union administrators are waiting on approval of the Union Master Plan before determing the best substitute for the demolished message board. In November 2010, Union director Zane Reif addressed the Student Government Association and made the case for demolishing the information kiosk, saying that the 10-foot-tall

pylon covered with loose fliers had become an eyesore, and the fliers that were posted resulted in clutter around the Union entrance. Now, Union administrators are considering an electronic substitute for the old kiosk to provide community advertising in the Union. However, those plans have not been put into motion because a referendum approving the Union Master Plan is expected to take place in April.

After a last second win against Denver, the UNT men’s basketball team will hit the road for the first time in a week and a half to play the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns, a chance to claim head coach Johnny Jones’ 200th career win. The game starts at 7:15 p.m. Wednesday in Lafayette, La. and can be heard on KNTU 88.1. “We enjoyed the victory [over Denver] a f ter it happened, but even that night we said that we have to get ready for the next game and get refocused,” senior guard Tyler Hall said. Jones is now just one win away from cracking the 200-win barrier, with 184 of his wins coming during his 11 seasons with the Mean Green. His other career wins came while he served as the interim head coach at the University of Memphis during the 19992000 season. “They are a very good and talented basketball team with a dangerous inside-

ULL leads the alltime series with the Mean Green 17-15, with the last meeting last January, a 93-88 LouisianaLafayette win. This season ULL is a top

tier defense in the Sun Belt Conference, holding opponents to 39 percent shooting from the field, second in the conference. “When it comes to conference, every team is good. Everyone comes out looking to win,” Hall said. “It’ll be the same situation we had like the game against Denver. We’re just going to have to come out and

pay attention to detail to try and get it done.” The win over Denver launched the Mean Green into a three-way tie for first place in the SBC West Division. With a win Wednesday, UNT can take sole possession of first place if both Denver and Arkansas-Little Rock lose their games this week.

Proposals for hotel and conference center in the works R EBECCA RYAN Staff Writer

UNT has agreed to begin negotiating with Missouribased O’Reilly Hospitality Management, LLC on a project that would include a 250-room full-service hotel and a 120,000 square foot conference and exhibition center. O’Reilly approached the university about the project earlier this month. No official agreement has been reached, though if an agreement is made the hotel would be a Hilton

Embassy Suites or Marriott. “The hotel would be directly across I-35 nea r Apogee Stadium,” UNT spokesman Buddy Price said. “It would kind of be a gateway to the university.” The property would essentia lly be ow ned by three different parties; UNT would lease the land to O’Reilly, O’Reilly would own the main hotel and the city would own the conference and exhibition center. “We haven’t d iscussed

f inances yet,” Price said. “However, UNT will not be paying for the hotel. We’re going to lease land to the O’Reilly group, who will be in charge of the development.” Though no official proposal is in place as of now, Linda Ratliff, director of economic development for the city of Denton, said the conference center would give Denton more opportunities to host events and conferences, leading to more tourism for the city. “Denton doe sn’t h ave

anywhere to host large conferences right now,” Ratliff said. “We’ve gotten requests to hold conferences before, but we’ve had no venue. With this conference center, we could have ten to 1500 people in one place. It’s a great opportunity.” Price said it could be weeks or even months before a final proposal is drawn up and construction can begin. Ratliff said the city is hoping to see progress by the end of 2012.

“We didn’t want to sink too much of a capital investment into that kind of electronic project without knowing how students are going to vote on the referendum in April,” Reif said in an interview Tuesday. “It doesn’t make sense to invest $20,000 or $30,000 of student money into that when we know it could be torn out for a new union project.” The master plan, if approved by students, will expand and renovate Union facilities. Reif said an electronic alternative is being considered because the goal of the administration is to create a paper-free union to help make UNT more sustainable. “We’re on a campus that is trying to be green,” Reif said. “Every time something would go up there [on the kiosk] the wind would blow it off, and it was just an unsightly area of the Union. We are trying to transition into more sustainable practices when it comes to fliers and things like that.” Reif said the new service would still be available to students and student organizations for free, though they may consider charging outside

businesses to place advertising. Students and businesses can still advertise for free using bulletin boards and a brochure stand on the second and third floors of the Union. Reif said the information kiosk was a place to advertise easily on campus, but some businesses did not feel the kiosk was an effective way to reach students. Ergo Simmons, manager at Lucky Lou’s, has worked on Fry Street since 2000 and said Lucky Lou’s, Cool Beans and Riprock’s Bar –who share the same owners – never advertised on the kiosk. However, he said an electronic kiosk could be more effective for advertisements than the original. “Before, it was just a little box for people to put flyers on,” Simmons said. “If it was a lot nicer and looked better, we might use it.” Chase Billups, a finance junior, recently transferred to UNT and said he hopes to see another free message board like the kiosk on campus. “I think it would really benefit people to have free access to something like that,” Billups said. “I would have definitely used the original to find a couple of activities.”

and continued Saturday with “Victorian Hardware.” The lectures will run through March and will cover topics including Victorian etiquette, gardening and home decorating. Roby n Lee, manager of museums in the Historical Park of Denton County, said the museum attracts UNT students from various fields. “We sometimes see students

from the fashion, history, music, interior design and language arts department on campus

[UNT],” Lee said. “Sometimes they volunteer to be guides for the museum.”

Obama: American dream in peril WASHINGTON (AP) — Declaring the American dream under siege, President Barack Obama called Tuesday night for a flurry of help for a hurting middle class and higher taxes on millionaires, delivering a State of the Union address packed with re-election themes. Restoring a fair shot for all, Obama said, is “the defining issue of our time.” Obama pleaded for an active government that ensures economic fairness for everyone, just as his opponents demand that the government back off and let the free market rule. Standing in front of a divided Congress, with bleak hope this election year for much of his legislative agenda, Obama spoke with voters in mind. “We can either settle for a country where a shrinking number of people do really well, while a growing number of Americans

barely get by,” Obama said. “Or we can restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules.” Lawmakers leapt to their feet when Obama said near the start of his speech that terrorist leader Osama bin Laden, killed by a raid authorized by the president, will no longer threaten America. At the core of Obama’s address was the improving but deeply wounded economy — the matter still driving Americans’ anxiety and the one likely to determine the next presidency. “The state of our union is getting stronger,” Obama said, calibrating his words as millions remain unemployed. Implicit in his declaration that the American dream is “within our reach” was the recognition that, after three years of an Obama presidency, the country is not there yet.

He spoke of restoring basic goals: owning a home, earning enough to raise a family, putting a little money away for retirement. “We can do this,” Obama said. “I know we can.” He said Americans are convinced that “Washington is broken,” but he also said it wasn’t too late to cooperate on important matters. Republ ica ns were not impressed. They applauded infrequently, though they did cheer when the president quoted “Republican Abraham Lincoln” as saying: “That government should do for people only what they cannot do better by themselves — and no more.” Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, offering the formal GOP response, called Obama’s policies “propoverty” and his tactics divisive. “No feature of the Obama presidency has been sadder than its constant efforts to divide us, to curry favor with some Americans by castigating others,” Daniels said in excerpts released before the address. Obama offered a defense

of regulations that protect the American consumer — regulations often criticized by Republicans as job-killing obstacles. “Millions of Americans who work hard and play by the rules every day deserve a government and a financial system that do the same,” Obama said. “It’s time to apply the same rules from top to bottom: No bailouts, no handouts and no copouts. An America built to last insists on responsibility from everybody.” Obama will follow up Tuesday night’s address with a three-day tour of five states key to his re-election bid. The speech Tuesday night comes just one week before the Florida Republican primary that could help set the trajectory for the rest of the race. Mitt Romney, caught up in a tight contest with a resurgent Newt Gingrich, commented in advance to Obama’s speech. “Tonight will mark another chapter in the misguided policies of the last three years — and the failed leadership of one man,” Romney said from Florida.

Hire a Musician program gets students gigs Holly H arvey

Senior Staff Writer Who said being an aspiring musician doesn’t pay? Giving students a chance to ma ke a litt le cash a nd sharpen their skills, UNT’s Hire a Musicia n prog ra m allows clients to select from hundreds of students in the College of Music. The program allows potent ia l employers to contact students –whose majors range from violin to drums – to play outside gigs for pay and experience, said College of Music ad m i n i st r at ive spec ia l i st Mary Law. “I somet imes get up to ten performance requests a week,” Law said. “And we get a lot more in the summer so we put the application for the program online to make it easier.” Prices var y from student to student, and starting next semester, students must have a recommendation letter from a music professor to be eligible for the program, Law said. For students, gigging offers an opportunity to do more than just perform, said viola performa nce senior Sa lwa Bachar, who performs with her twin sister Salma Bachar, a violin performance senior.

Students ca n t weet @ UNTSGA or use hashtags to ask questions.

“We struggled with ideas for town hall because it’s usually thought of as boring,” Chavez said. “We came up with the idea based off Obama’s town hall at the White House, when people asked Obama questions on Twitter.” Based on popular questions from previous town hall meetings, SGA created six hashtags for students to use: #askSG Au n ion, # askSG Ad i n i ng, #askSGAsmoking, #askSGAbicycles, #askSGAservicefees and #askSGAparking. “It’s a nice resource instead of asking an employee,” junior Sa ra h Ca mpbell sa id. “We get an answer from a fellow student about things we care

Theater to bring slapstick to stage Animated movies to fight for Oscar

EMILY PEEK Intern

Denton’s community theater will bring some old-fashioned slapstick, a bit of political fear and a message about the perils of censorship to the stage this weekend with its premiere performance of “Laughter on the 23rd Floor,” a 1993 play by Neil Simon. The Campus Theatre at 214 W. Hickory St. will host “Laughter on the 23rd Floor” for the next two weekends. Amy Jackson, the play’s director, said the cast will include nine different Denton actors. “The cast, they’re a lot of friends, they tend to hang out and in a lot of ways, several of them have told me before that they kind of are the people in this show,” Jackson said. “I think that that has been tremendous as a director, because there’s been such a level of trust between actors and nobody has a problem about spit takes or ‘let’s try this.’” The performance will be the Campus Theatre’s first of the year. Jackson, who has been involved with theater since she was eight years old, began directing at a young age, but said this is her first time directing this play. A semi-autobiographical account of playwright Neil Simon’s experience as a comedy writer in the early 1950s, “Laughter on the 23rd Floor” follows the antics of the cast and crew of a weekly American television variety show in 1953. “There is a lot of humor. Imagine a room full of comedy writers and what they went through every day, I’m sure there was a lot of laughter,” Jackson said. “Using that sort of fun vein, they’ve really tackled things like political fear, censorship, all the

According to Jackson, the cast and crew had just four weeks to rehearse, but she said she wasn’t worried, praising the reliability

of Denton’s community theater and the strength of the source material. “It is interesting to see how all those three things kind of tie together, between censorship, political fear and when a family really ends,” Jackson said. “And I think those are things that were relevant in the 1950s but are really relevant today, too.”

(MCT) LOS ANGELES — Two obscure foreign movies being released by a tiny New York company beat out Hollywood heavyweights Steven Spielberg and Pixar Animation Studios to collect surprise nominations in Oscar’s peculiar animated feature race Tuesday. The French thriller “A Cat in Paris” and Spanish musical “Chico & Rita” — primarily hand-drawn movies little known outside the animation world — bested high-profile projects from perennial academy favorites Spielberg (“The Adventures of Tintin”) and Pixar (“Cars 2”). Three computer-animated Hollywood movies also made the list — Gore Verbinski’s western comedy “Rango,” which Paramount is re-releasing for a limited one-week engagement Friday, and the DreamWorks Animation titles “Kung Fu Panda 2” and “Puss in Boots.” “I’m amazed by the selection,” said Chris Miller, director of “Puss in Boots.” “It’s really wide open. It’s been that way since the awards season kicked in. There’s a lot of great films and different styles from some different countries. There’s a lot of tradition in that part of the academy and respect for diversity.” For the first time since the animated feature category was created in 2001, the eligible Pixar

Screen-printing with Ringo ALISON MATLOCK Intern

With a little help from Ringo the motorcycle-riding dog, a new T-shirt screen-printing company is hoping to make a splash in Denton. “He’s our little advertising agent,” said Kellen Capps, Ringo’s owner and co-founder of Ringoboy Screen-Printing Company, which launched about a month ago. Ringo, a 4-year-old blue heeler, Capps and co-founder Jess Peri, a photography junior, spent the better part of the new year screen-printing live for different groups and events, including the student-run Ector Gallery last week. Capps said Ringoboy’s goal is to provide quality T-shirts at an affordable price. “We’re constantly kicking around different ideas of where we could take it and what we could do with it,” Capps said. Business skyrocketed after Ringoboy’s appearance at the Ector Gallery, the first time they had actually made any money, Peri said. The original T-shirt design featured an image of Ringo riding a motorcycle. Ringoboy has also created shirts with pictures of Peri’s cat, Celeste. Capps said Ringoboy has even attracted attention from across the globe. “I sold a shirt to a guy in Spain, several in Australia and it’s just from people seeing YouTube videos of my dog riding on my motorcycle,” Capps said. Ringo, has been riding motorcycles since he was 9-weeks-old, Capps said. “He keeps his back legs on my legs at all times, and if I have to take a hard corner, I’ll just drop a leg and it moves his hip down and he automatically follows the bike wherever it’s going,” Capps said. “He rides jet skis, dirt bikes, and well, he’s ridden anything and everything that will put wind in his face.”

Capps assures those who worry about Ringo’s safety that Ringo knows what he is doing and has been trained to respond to any loss of footing by lying flat on his belly. “If a dog loves to do something, he’ll do it to the best of his ability, every time,” Capps said. “And he’s the best that he could possibly be at riding motorcycles, at all times.” Beyond the clear attraction of a motorcycle-riding dog, Peri said Ringoboy focuses on making sure their product goes above and beyond.

Peri has screen-printed for six months and said he aspires to be a studio artist one day. “I’m working on building bodies of work to eventually get into graduate school,” Peri said. One of Ringoboy’s first customers, Aaron Martin, said he thought the canine-based company was in a great position to be successful. “It’s an opportunity for other artists to put their art on shirts,” Martin said. “You’re starting this business in the perfect place to start it, Denton, Texas, especially for a market like this.”

film was not nominated. “For the last few years we’ve had a Pixar front-running film that was miles ahead of the other films,” said animation historian Jerry Beck, editor of the website Cartoon Brew. “Tintin” was made using the hybrid filmmaking technique of motion capture, in which cameras record the movement of actors, then visual-effects artists and animators add to the performances. How to treat “Tintin” was a matter of some debate in the animation community, however. “I think there still is some confusion or a sense of not knowing where to place (‘Tintin’),” said Joe Letteri, senior visual effects supervisor at Weta Digital, which worked on both “Tintin” and “Apes.” “Because there was no live action, it’s all animation. And I think it fell through the cracks.” No one was more surprised by Tuesday’s nominations than Eric Beckman, who runs the two-employee enterprise GKIDS with Dave Jesteadt. The company acquired both “A Cat in Paris” and “Chico & Rita” around their film festival premieres. Jesteadt learned of the company’s two nominations while watching TV at the gym, Beckman said. “Dave ran right off the treadmill,” he said.

UNT tries to keep pace in Sun Belt Basketball

Continued from Page 1

Women’s Basketball

“ULL has rea lly good, big men and they run a lot of plays,” sophomore guard Alzee Williams said. “We will need to be very particular and careful on defense.” Over t he last mont h, UNT f reshma n for wa rd Tony Mitchel l has been the best player in the Sun Belt, becoming the second player in SBC histor y to w i n t h ree con sec ut ive Player of the Week awards. Mitchell w ill likely be a key cog if UNT picks up its fourth straight win in Louisiana. Mitchell is just shy of averaging a double-double, with 15.5 points and 9.4 rebounds per ga me. He leads t he tea m in bot h categories.

Coming off the six-point loss to Denver, UNT will try to stay in close contention for first place in the Sun Belt Conference West Division. A win would elevate UNT to 5-3 in conference play, a half game behind division leaders Denver a nd Un iversit y of Arkansas at Little Rock. Head coach Karen Aston and junior forward Jasmine G odbolt a re approach i ng career benchmarks, as Aston is t hree w ins shor t of 100 career victories and Godbolt is 32 points shy of 1,000 for her career. ULL’s winless conference record can be attributed to its poor defense, as the team ranks second to last in points a llowed at 66.8 points per game. Despite the Ragin’ Cajuns’ recent struggles on offense, the team will have the leading scorer on the f loor when the game starts in senior guard K r ysta l Mot ley, t he No. 8 scorer in the Sun Belt.

Pregame Prediction UNT will lose to ULL 75-69, as the recent loss of Chris Jones and Jordan Williams will become apparent. The offense will struggle to find its shots without two of its top playmakers in the backcourt. There is bound to be a game where the offense will struggle to find its groove, and this game is a prime chance for that to happen. As a result, Johnny Jones will have the opportunity to achieve his 200th win in front of the home crowd.

NT Daily Edboard: Nods and Shakes Nod: President Obama’s State of The Union address According to pollingreport.com, 56 percent of Americans are most concerned with the state of the economy. The president’s annual State of the Union made that clear. With an unemployment rate of 8.5 percent and a national deficit of more than $15 trillion, it’s understandable that the country’s focus would be on fiscal matters. President Obama addressed issues such as job creation and export rates while using surprisingly nonpartisan rhetoric. Admittedly, some of the policies Obama subtly endorsed are a product of the left-wing point of view, but it’s refreshing to see a politician take

the time to voice those policies in a rhetoric meant to unite. The speech’s theme was American values. Maintaining a country in which everyone has a job, can afford a home and can send his or her kids to college is the most important issue facing our generation, he said. That, for the first time in decades seems at risk – according to bankrate.com, half of Americans can’t afford higher education for their kids – and hopefully this is a sign that Washington will take a bipartisan approach to keeping the American dream safe.

Shake: The Detroit Tigers The Det roit Tigers a nd f irst baseman Prince Fielder agreed to a

nine-year, $214 million deal Tuesday, ending the Rangers’ chances of landing the big name free agent this offseason. A shake goes out to Detroit for overpaying the 5’11, 275 pound “athlete.” Fielder’s age (27), weight (275) and t he fact t hat according to StrengthPlanet.com, the average age of retirement for a professional athlete is 33 mean that avoiding t hat n i ne-yea r cont ract cou ld be a blessing in disguise for the Rangers. The maligned Rangers lost arguably their best pitcher – CJ Wilson – to the Anaheim Angels this offseason and were rumored to be a desirable employer for top of the line free

agents such as Albert Pujols –also an Angel now– and Fielder. That being said, even without the signing of Fielder the Rangers should contend for the World Series next year.

Nod: Monica Thieu and TAMS Monica Thieu, a junior at the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science, will represent UNT at the College Jeopardy Championships, which will air between Feb. 1 and Feb. 14. The amount of national recognition received by TAMS students on a yearly basis earns them a strong nod. UNT should be proud to sponsor a program with members who consistently over-achieve.

Columns

Big change needed to fix economy America needs leadership change to deal with deficit Politics is too complex to summarize any one issue into two categories, which is exactly what Democratic and Republican parties have been doing since the Great Recession. Congress is standing at an 84 percent disapproval rating, and many pundits have asked the question, “Who is the 16 percent that approve?” My question is, if 84 percent of the population disapproves of Congress, then why do the same incorrigible politicians remain in office? Are we as citizens so afraid of change? Because if we really are focused on changing this country for the better (aka reducing our debilitating debt), then there needs to be an anti-incumbency movement like we have never seen. Our national identity is being torn apart by the partisan loyalists who consistently reduce highly complex issues into simple little packages for the unaccustomed masses to regurgitate, such as the concept of class warfare. When the phrase “class warfare” comes to mind, I imagine impoverished people rioting in the streets daily, running through wealthy suburbs lighting cookie cutter houses on fire, not asking their congressmen to raise taxes on the rich. We could spare the hyperbole. Watching the Republican debates has been beyond farcical. Out of all the candidates still contending, only one has prioritized slashing spending and reducing our debt: Ron Paul. Others like our very own Gov. Rick Perry and now former contender have suggested returning to Iraq, increasing defense spending, and gutting … oh wait, I forgot, I’m sorry … the EPA.

It is truly frightening to see the Republican constituency worry more about Mitt Romney’s religion than our massive national debt, which he has no intention of resolving. So what’s Mitt Romney’s big new idea? Could it be cutting taxes for the rich? Of course not, he only wants to reduce the corporate income tax; innovative, right? We have an 8.5 percent unemployment rate in the U.S., and a recent Yahoo poll shows that jobs are the No. 1 concern among U.S. citizens. Add the former statistic to our overwhelming national debt, and we have a serious recipe for an economic collapse. This conundrum that Congress has put us in is our fault too. Yes, they are to blame, but who was it that elected them in the first place? There is a plethora of contributing factors as to why our federal government is in such a mess, but if you hear someone blaming only President Obama or former President George W. Bush and their respective political parties, they are either very mistaken or just flatout lying to you.

Being Christian more than just a declaration What if you lived a lie your entire life? Even worse, what if you lived a lie of a life without knowing it was a lie? Is that even possible? And if it is, are you? Look at the words of Jesus in Matthew 7:21-23, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me you workers of lawlessness.” Jesus, being the progressive philosopher that He is, caused doubt in the minds of his followers. I believe he wants the same for us. Better to doubt temporarily than to be fooled for a lifetime into assuming that salvation is at hand when it is nowhere in sight. Don’t be short sighted in assuming that doubt is a negative thing, but instead understand it as a feeling of uncertainty. It isn’t until we have come to the conscious awareness of our fatality, hope in Christ, assured salvation and progressive sanctification that we begin to understand the good news. Unfortunately, we live in a time where these gospel-centered truths are viewed as erratic, radical and outdated. No longer do we mimic the words of the apostle Paul that “to live is Christ and to die is gain.” Instead, we chant the words of fools,

that to live is to indulge in selfish desires and to die is an inevitable, undesirable waste. Please understand me when I say all of this: this is to the 80 percent of university students who would say that they are Christians. This is to the 80 percent of Dentonites who would profess with their mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord. This is not written for those who are outside of the faith, but those who are claiming to be pursuing holiness, sanctification, and purity through the Gospel. Luckily, none of this is a means to an end of despair and loss. We have to be aware of the fact that there is a chance that we may not trust what we may believe. We have to be open to the fact that the Holy Spirit may not dwell within us. We have to accept the fact that some “nominal Christians” will be in Hell.
