Death penalty march comes to Denton BY TAYLOR JACKSON

By the Numbers

Staff Writer

A crowd took to Oak Street on Saturday to show opposition to the death penalty. The group of about 50 marched along the path from the Denton Square to Wooten Hall, yelling chants from hand-w ritten notes. “It’s barbaric, racist and classist,” said Brit Schulte, an art history senior, about the death penalty. The rally in Denton was in support of one specific death row inmate, Rodney Reed, who was found guilty of killing his girlfriend. His case is up for appeal. Rodney’s brother, Roderick Reed, spoke after the march and documentary about updates on his brother’s case and his personal feelings about the death penalty. Shulte is part of the Campaign to End the Death Penalty organization at UNT. She listed the main stances of the organization. The case has been documented in “State vs. Reed,” a documentary that premiered at the 2006 South by Southwest Film Festival and was shown by the organizers after the march in Wooten Hall. “Those without the capital get the punishment,” Reed said. The event was organized by the International Socialist Organization, the Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance and Amnesty International groups at UNT. It began at the Square, where organizers sat in circles on the

Stephen Benavides and other protesters march along Oak Street to Wooten Hall, voicing their views against the death penalty. pavement writing slogans as they thought of them on picket signs and talked about what kind of turnout they could expect. It was the first of what the supporters hope will become an annual march in Denton. Reversal and abolition of the death penalty comes down to grass root movements and student awareness, Schulte said. “This isn’t going to sit on some politician’s desk,” she said. “It has to be a grass roots effort.” Deathpenaltyinfo.org has

statistics about the history of the death penalty. According to the site, the death penalty was once abolished nationwide in 1972 but was reinstated in some states in 1976. Since then, Texas has executed 463 people, more than four times as many people as the next closest state. There are 337 people on death row in Texas at the moment, and 10 of them are women. Forty-two percent of people on death row are African-American. Joe Cartwright and Jacob Jackson, who have served in

the Marine Corps, disagreed with the protest. “If you can’t live by society’s rules, you basically gotta take ‘em out of society ...,” Jackson said. “Why should we pay to cage them up for the rest of their lives?” Cartwright also asked how justice would be served in the case of someone who “murders innocent people.” Rally attendees heard from Rick Halperin, SMU’s human rights education program director, and Lily Hughes from

Austin. Hughes organizes an annual march, which will have its 11th event on Oct. 30. The death penalty, Halperin said, is “the human rights issue.” The speakers took issue with Rick Perry, who is “executing at a greater rate” than President Bush did as governor, they said.

Holiday closure allows employees to work without interruptions UNT employees labor on Labor Day BY TIM MONZINGO Senior Staff Writer

While students and faculty enjoyed a long weekend for Labor Day, some universit y employ e e s w er e w or k i ng beh i nd t he sc enes to get things at the school moving smoot h ly for t he long semester. The university was closed for observance of Labor Day, a holiday meant to honor the countr y’s workforce. Wit h st udents gone, employees had an opportunity to finish up work, enjoy quiet time at their desks and attend to personal matters. Cathy Flowers, the morning sh if t faci lit ies ma nager at the Universit y Union, used t he quiet bui lding to ta ke care of work that would make next week a little easier on her and her employees. “[I’m] catching up on some duties that I needed to get done, catching up on paper work, sketches, just odds and ins,” she said.

The one-day break wasn’t bad, she said, but some of t he long st retches of slow work, like winter break, can be tedious. “If it’s during the w inter breaks and stuff, no, I don’t feel like being up here then, but today is just one day,” she sa id. “I w a sn’t doi ng any thing, and it does help me to c atch up on paper work. “There’s no interruptions from someone needing something over here, or students needing something, so it’s just quiet time.” Flowers wa sn’t t he on ly worker who used a slow day at the office to get ahead on

She said the librar y was a good environment to do what she would’ve done any way w ith the campus closed. “I have a lot of read i ng to do, and I was going to be reading today any ways, so it’s nice a nd quiet in here and I can just sit here and read,” she said. If she were at home instead of at work, though, the condi-

tions might have been a little bit different, she said. Spencer might have joined some friends out at the lake if it weren’t for work. “I would either be studying or sw imming somewhere,” she sa id. “I’d be wea r i ng a sw imsuit eit her way, for sure.” B enja m i n Sk a r i a h i s a f ina ncia l a id counselor in the Eagle Student Ser v ices Center.

One thing the employees agreed on was that the work they get done w ith students away helps t he rest of t he semester move more easily. “Once midterms hit, it’ll be just up hill from there, so its kind of a nice little break,” Spencer said.

Stressed students laugh, pass on Internet memes 1.

BY JOSHUA SHAMBURGER

What is the purpose of the Course Policy? Student

Staff Writer

Many stressed students are turning to the Internet for a laugh by watching Internet memes. An Internet meme is an image, video, phrase or idea that spreads from person to person, usually for comedic effect. By using everyday Internet technology like e-mail, blogs and social networking sites, people young and old find something amusing and pass it along to a friend, who passes it along to another friend. Judith Enriquez of the learning technologies department said memes are considered new literacies, new ways of reading and writing in a montage of images and text, including video or sound. “We know memes are being ‘engineered’ to do marketing, campaigns, etc,” said Enriquez in an e-mail interview. “The one that I have used, shared to students and colleagues and made me laugh every time I see it is the ‘Alien Song,’ and I must admit I usually watch it when I’m feeling very stressed.” Computer science freshman Louis Hamilton also views memes for a laugh. “My favorite is the Weegee meme,” he said. The “Weegee” meme is a handdrawn picture of Luigi from the Super Mario Bros. video games. Weegee is edited into pictures and videos in random, various ways. “He’s just there, it’s funny,” Hamilton said. Memes can take on a form with phrases. Meme phrases usually come from some type of media and can increase the popularity of the media they come from. The phrases may even spawn their own media and gain more popularity through a song or video. The movie “300” contains the phrase “This is Sparta!,” which has been used as captions for photos and funny videos using clips from the movie. Some memes originate through videos. “Rickrolling,” is a video prank that involves tricking people into clicking a link that plays the 1987 Rick Astley song “Never Gonna Give You Up.”

Many students turn to Internet memes when they need to laugh. Memes can be an image, video, phrase or idea that spreads from one person to another, often because of its comedic affects. “Sometimes I get rick rolled just by surfing YouTube,” said computer science junior Justin Green. “The first meme I ever saw was the dancing baby video years ago, if I needed a laugh I just watched it.” Xavier Nazario, a resident of Chicago, co-created “The Juggernaut B****!” meme. This meme is a video of the 90s’ X-Men cartoon voiced over by

two friends trying to pass time and laugh at each other. “It was all an act of boredom in the winter of ‘05,” said Nazario in an e-mail interview. Months later, Nazario posted the video on several video-sharing sites including YouTube. “We didn’t think nothing of it. Just thought a few people would see it, laugh at it, think it’s stupid

The group must have at least 10 participants, and a screening is done beforehand so Roberts can understand the person, see if the group is appropriate for them and privately discuss the trauma so she knows their limits. “We don’t talk about the trauma individually within the group because we don’t want to vicariously traumatize other people,” Roberts said. “People start doing a lot of self comparison and that’s not what we want to happen.” This type of therapy differs from group therapy because it is more structured, carries research behind its effectiveness and does not relate participants’ issues to others, Roberts said. “One problem with trauma victims is that there’s a strong tendency to want to avoid talking about or re-experiencing the trauma,” said Tim Lane, associate director of Counseling and Testing Services. “This group helps persons deal with this trauma in a way that is generally less difficult then some of the old processing techniques.” At the first session, each member writes down an impact statement, which is the trauma

that took place and how it currently affects five areas: safety, power and control, trust, intimacy and esteem. A workbook is handed out, and each participant fills out worksheets throughout the 13 sessions, Roberts said. “We try and challenge them in their current belief system and ask them to list an alternative belief that is uplifting,” Roberts said. At t he end of t he 13 sessions, participants rewrite their current impact statement and Roberts said she is always amazed at how their emotional structure has positively changed. Roberts would eventually like to use the outcomes of the group as research material for other doctors to study so they can enhance the therapy technique. For now, she said she wants people to understand the serious commitment and devotion needed to complete the sessions so each participant can better understand his or her trauma. “It takes a lot of courage to deal with the traumatic issues, but this particular group will help,” Lane said.

Group offers free help to students with trauma BY CHRISTINA MLYNSKI Senior Staff Writer

For t hose ex periencing pressing personal issues from the past, one doctor is providing a safe and confidential outlet. The Cognitive Processing Group offers 13 free sessions to students who may be dealing with past traumas. The first session is tonight from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Chestnut Hall 311, and will continue every Tuesday until the last session on November 30. “I just felt there might be a need here,” said Mary Roberts, a clinical psychologist. “The therapy does work and it would be a shame to withhold something that could help people deal with their situation.” Last semester was the first time the Cognitive Processing Group met. The meetings are set up specifically so individuals learn how to cope with their past traumas and discover a better understanding of their inner self, Roberts said. “The Cognitive Processing Group is a good way for students to get advice as to how they can deal with their problems without actually having to get in depth about their issues,” said Cassie Jensen, a psychology senior.

and move on with their lives. Then it just blew up.” Nazario said that people who create Internet memes are just your average joe. “Stories of how we make people’s days even slightly better from our pure stupidity is gold in my mind,” said Nazario.

Council entertains, teaches students BY JESSICA PAUL

Senior Staff Writer St u d e nt s m i g ht h a v e attended an event hosted by this UNT organization, but might not know how much the group has done. The University Program Council is an event planning committee that organizes events for the entire university and its student body. “We have a volunteer organization that comes and helps us with our events and they also put in some event ideas,” said Montreal Williams, an interdisciplinary studies junior and vice president of the arts for the UPC. “We also teach them some leadership and time management skills.” The council, funded by a portion of the University Union’s service fees, has hosted a variety of events including casino nights, comedy nights, movie showings at the Lyceum and Eagle Insomnia at the end of every spring semester. UPC also hosts a dance series for students who want to learn different dances, Williams said. “We’ve done best pizza and best wings where we have the restaurants come out and give out free food and students vote on which ones they like the best,” he said. “We’ve done everything.” Williams said the organization is another opportunity for students to be involved on their campus because of the ability to meet new people and its convenience as a supplement to students’ studies. UPC gives assistance in obtaining leadership and communication skills for future jobs. The program is beneficial for any area of study if you just want to meet new people and grow and develop as a person, Williams said. Dewayne Smith, a business finance sophomore and student volunteer for UPC, said the organization is an option for any student who wants to become involved with UNT.

“Especially for freshman, it gets them involved and it gets them involved quick,” he said. “Before I joined, I didn’t really do much on campus.” Smith said b ecoming involved in an organization like UPC looks good on student resumes. Williams said the UPC’s Facebook group and Twitter account send out updates almost every day of the week.

“We’re the place to go for your entertainment.”

—Montreal Williams Vice president of the arts, University Program Council

Smith said the organization has taught him to be more responsible as well as personable. “If you say you be there, you have to show up,” he said. “I was always awkward, but the more you meet people, the more comfortable you get with it and it kind of helped me come out of my shell.” T.J. Davis, a business junior, attended one of the films shown in the Lyceum as well as Eagle Insomnia last year. Davis said these events are good because of the opportunity to meet people with similar interests. “Since we’re all broke students, it’s good to be able to see movies without spending a fortune at the theater,” Davis said. Eagle Insomnia offered fun activities, free food and a great way to hang out with friends without spending any money, Davis said. The UPC meets at 5 p.m. on Mondays in the organization’s office in Union 216. “We’re the place to go for your entertainment,” Williams said. “If you want to have fun and you want to meet the people and do some diverse things, then UPC is the place to be.”

Sophomore wide receiver Darius Carey reaches for a touchdown against Western Kentucky last October. The Mean Green began the season with a 35-10 loss against Clemson.

Big plays cost Mean Green BY BEN BABY

Senior Staff Writer Sixteen seconds. That’s all it took for Clemson to find the end zone on Saturday, as sophomore running back Andre Ellington broke free for a 60-yard touchdown run, scoring the first six points in Clemson’s 35-10 victory over UNT at Memorial Stadium. The loss was the Mean Green’s third season-opening loss in the past four seasons. Since the program’s inception in 1913, UNT has lost all three of its games against teams in the Atlantic Coast Conference. “Bottom line is 240 of their 432 yards came on five plays,” UNT head coach Todd Dodge said. “I don’t want to spend my season talking about that kind of stuff.” Despite running only 46 plays the entire game, Clemson maximized its opportunities, scoring five touchdowns. The Mean Green held the ball for more than 41 minutes of Saturday’s contest, but only scored 10 points to show for their possession. “We felt like we left anywhere

from 14 to 17 points out there,” Todd Dodge said. “That’s something we’ve got to clean up.” Following a 70-yard touchdown reception by Clemson redshirt junior wide receiver Bra ndon C lea r t hat put the Tigers up 14, UNT (0-1) answered in the following drive, as redshirt senior quarterback Nathan Tune found sophomore wide receiver Darius Carey for a 13-yard score. Along with a potent Clemson offense, penalties haunted the Mean Green Saturday, as UNT committed seven penalties for 70 yards. One of those penalties was assessed to Carey following his touchdown reception, assisting Clemson (1-0) on its way to a touchdown before halftime. The Mean Green, led by Tune, did an effective job of moving the ball against a rigid Clemson defense, picking up 25 first downs on the afternoon. However, two red-zone interceptions by Tune proved to be costly. “We showed the nation… that we can move the ball against an [Atlantic Coast Conference]

team,” senior wide receiver Jamaal Jackson said. “Any team we play against we feel like we could move the ball.” Clemson junior defensive end Da’Quan Bowers led a Tigers front four that gave the Mean Green offensive line fits throughout the game. UNT, which allowed 12 sacks in 2009, gave up five sacks in the loss. “We didn’t have anything we could assimilate on our football team for [Bowers],” Todd Dodge said. The offensive line sustained its share of injuries. UNT could be without junior J.J. Johnson, who has a sprained foot. His status his unknown for this week’s home opener against Rice. Junior running back Lance Dunbar showed a national audience why he is a Doak Walker Award candidate, slashing Clemson’s defense for 116 yards on 23 carries. The Green Blur also had two receptions for 62 yards. The Tigers had no problem running against the Mean Green defense, something opponents did very well in 2009.

Clemson picked up 246 yards on the ground, led by Ellington, who rushed for 112 yards on 12 carries, picking up two touchdowns. Junior running back Jamie Harper also rushed for two touchdowns. “I’m a competitor,” senior linebacker Craig Robertson said. “I don’t like losing 35 to 10. I don’t like losing one to two. I don’t like losing period.” Robertson picked off Clemson sophomore quarterback Kyle Parker, who had nine completions on 17 attempts, throwing for 170 yards and two touchdowns. Senior wide receiver Bennie Jones may have played his last game in a Mean Green uniform. Jones suffered a broken left leg and is projected to be out for the remainder of the season. Junior defensive back Steven Ford broke his right ankle on Saturday. He will undergo surgery on Tuesday and could possibly be out for six weeks. UNT will now face Rice at home, the first of six home games in the school’s last season at Fouts Field. Kick-off is scheduled for 6 p.m. Saturday.

New Mexico (4-0-2) on Sunday at North Texas Soccer Field. “The ga me aga inst Sa m Houston shouldn’t have even been played,” head coach John Hedlund said. “A lot of teams would have just gotten back on the bus and headed home with those kind of conditions. That being said, we do need to play better in bad weather.”

after a double-overtime goal by the Bearkats doomed UNT to its first loss of the season. The rainy conditions made moving the ball difficult for both teams, which failed to generate any offense on the drenched f ield in t he f irst half. “You could try to kick the ball as hard as you could and it would go two feet,” sophomore forward Michelle Young said. “There were puddles all over the field. It made it extremely hard to score.” Brea k i ng t he sc orele s s deadlock in the 104th minute, Bearkats forward Kirby Zak received a pass from Tricia Mallory to score the gamewinning goal. UNT had chances early and often, outshooting SHSU 23-11.

A f ter defeat i ng nat iona lly ranked Marquette last weekend, the Lobos stayed hot and scored the first goal in the seventh minute when Rachel Fields scored off a Jennifer Williams cross for her third goal this season. Young helped UNT respond in the 15th minute, scoring of f Lobo goa l keeper Kel l i Cornell’s def lection. With both teams staying quiet for the second half, UNT crowded the NMU goal and narrowly missed scoring at the end of regulation, leading the teams into overtime tied 1-1. Both teams failed to score after two overtimes and the deadlock remained intact. Senior goalkeeper Mandy Hall remained unbeaten after the tie and has an impressive .46 goals against average this season. Freshman midfielder Kelsey Hodges took her skills to the backline as Hedlund moved her to defense for Sunday’s game. “It was very different for me because it was something I’m not used to,” Hodges said. “If it helped the team succeed, then that’s all that matters.” T he Me a n Gr e en now hits the road to face Texas Tech and Lamar at the Red Raider Classic in Lubbock on Friday.

Intern The UNT cross countr y team opened its season with a fifth-place finish for the men’s team and an eighthplace finish for the women’s team last Friday at the Bear Tw i l ig ht I nv it at iona l i n Waco. T h e i n v it a t i on a l w a s a l a r g e r-t h a n - o r d i n a r y open i ng meet consist i ng of 11 teams, five of which were reg iona l opponents. Bay lor, Te x a s C h r i st i a n U n i v e r s i t y, S o u t h e r n M e t h o d i s t U n i v e r s i t y, Un i ver sit y of I nc a r n ate Word, Southwestern Un iver sit y, A ngelo St ate University, Abilene Christian University, UT- Tyler, Texas State Universit y a nd UTA rlington a ll took part in the meet. Men’s team UN T faced a few la stm i nute obst acles w it h sophomore Michael Ortiz injured and freshman Adrian Nevarez sick with a fever. The team consequently ca lled in some wa lk-on r unners who were not expecting to compete, freshman Matthew Russ said. Russ was the second to finish the 6K course behind fellow New Zealander, senior Patrick Strong. Strong had a top-10 finish, taking sixth place with a time of 19:00.2. Russ took 17th place with a time of 19:35.2. Ju n ior Nick Ma hoy (21: 26.0 ) f i n i she d 72nd, f re sh m a n Wade Denton (22:09.7) finished 84th and junior Dane Conley (24:42.4) f inished 91st to ma ke up the Mean Green’s top five scorers. Head coach Sam Burroughs expects Nevarez to be among the men’s top five performers this season, so his sickness affected the team’s chances at scoring

higher. The Baylor men took first place at t heir home meet with the help of two Bears taking the first five spots. ACU’s Amos Sang finished first amongst the men with a time of 18:18.5. Women’s team Still awaiting NCAA eligibility, the women also lacked freshman Elyssa Garcia, who Burroughs expects to be one of the top five scorers. The UNT women’s team finished the 4K run eighth out of eleven schools behind ASU w it h t he help of top r e t u r ner s s en ior I n g r id Mollenkopf and junior Sara Dietz. Mollenkopf’s 14:59.4 t i me e a r ne d 18t h plac e while Dietz’s time of 15:22.2 finished 24th. Senior Sa llie A nderson finished 45th at 16:17.0 and junior Amy Alcala finished 66th with a time of 17:11.3.

The Baylor women finished first with the help of three Bear runners filling the top five spots. Baylor’s Cate Westenhover was the f irst woma n to cross t he f inish line w ith a time of 13:59.7. “This is a feeling-out time period for both coach and athletes,” Burroughs said. Right now he is working to “build [the athletes’] confidence week by week” to prepare them for the Sun Belt Con ference meet on Oct. 30. UNT will hit the course again on Saturday at the UTA Invitational in Arlington.

Pair of overtime games produces mixed results

BY SEAN GORMAN Senior Staff Writer

Heading into last weekend’s matches, the UNT women’s soccer team knew it could run into its first loss of the season against tough competition. What it didn’t expect was to fall to a team that had dropped its first four games. Tough weather conditions doomed t he Mea n Green (4-1-1) in a 1-0 loss on Friday at Sam Houston State (1-4-0). UNT then salvaged a 1-1 tie against national contender

Friday Playing in heavy rain and a drenched field, the Mean Green’s hopes were dampened

Sunday The SHSU game continued to have negative effects for UNT, as sophomore midfielder Ellen Scarfone and junior forward Kelsey Perlman were under the weather during Sunday’s game against NMU. “I wish our team had been healthier so the fans could have enjoyed a better show against a great New Mexico team,” Hedlund said. “Those players being sick made an impact on our offense’s ability to score.”

Student embarrassed by TV ad

Death penalty debate one-sided Editorial Texas is a state known for ruling with an iron fist, with the death penalty as a staple of Texan justice. For years, the electric chair and Texas have been linked to one another, and Huntsville is a word no prisoner wants to hear during a trial. As the death penalty has slowly become a more common occurrence with the invention of the lethal injection procedure in the 1970s, despite stagnating now, more and more citizens are raising a red flag to this seemingly barbaric institution, which has spread throughout the country to 38 out of the 50 states. The Editorial Board feels that the death penalty is cruel and unusual punishment and should be outlawed. The few positives definitely don’t outweigh the laundry list of negatives. Many states practice the death penalty, and it is becoming commonplace. Yet, with the March Against the Death Penalty on Saturday from the Square to UNT and a bit of outcry speaking out against it for its cruel and unusual tactics, this near commonplace practice in American justice is coming under fire--and rightfully so. Since the death penalty’s rise, nationwide murder rates have gone down roughly 15 percent over 30 years, a fact many pro-death penalty advocates cite as one of this punishment’s many positives. However, these people forget that the drop in homicides can also be attributed to many other variables. Since 1990, the murder rate in states with the death penalty has been consistently higher, there being a 42 percent difference in murder rates between states with the death penalty and states without the death penalty. Even though homicide rates have been slowly declining, the rates in states with death penalty are consistently higher--indicating that other factors may be the reason for the decline of homicide. Most death penalty advocates are quick to point out that keeping a convict in prison for life is financially burdensome. Yet, they do not realize that the financial costs relating to the death penalty are usually 2-5 times more than keeping that same criminal in prison for the rest of his life. Endless appeals, additional required procedures and legal wrangling clog the court system, ultimately leading to more taxes. Many anti-death penalty supporters feel that too many innocent people are put to death because of poor jury practices and evidence. A story on the Innocence Project reports that in 1999, a mentally unstable murderer, Michael Yowell, was sentenced to death, with no evidence of his condition ever surfacing. In 1998, Yowell shot and strangled his mother, turned on the gas jets in the house, causing it to explode when his grandmother opened the door. She later died. Yowell, a mentally ill person who was faced with physical and sexual abuse his entire life, coupled with substance abuse, was sentenced to death. Yowell’s many issues never surfaced in the punishment trial, which might have resulted in him being sentenced to life in a high-security mental hospital instead of being put to death. U.S. District Judge Sam Cummings feels that this lack of testimony violated his constitutional rights, as this may have potentially saved Yowell’s life. Then of course the moral issues regarding this institution are questionable. Whether you are religious or not, is the American society really trying to teach “an eye for an eye”? It seems hypocritical to teach people that killing is wrong when, due to the death penalty, many people are executed.

On Sat u rday a f ter noon, t housa nds of people tuned in to ESPNU to watch t he Clemson Tigers ta ke on t he Me a n G r e e n . S a t u r d a y ’s ga me was broadcasted n a t i o n a l l y, a n d o f f e r e d UNT a n oppor tunit y to get nat iona l ex posure. U n f o r t u n a t e l y, U N T didn’t appear to take advantage of t he t hree-hour a nd n i nete en m i nute showcase, as t hey had on ly one commercia l show n dur ing t he game, before ha lf-time, t hat wasn’t ver y good. The message of t he ad ver t i s ement w a s broad a nd u n foc u sed, feat u r i ng va r ious i mages of professors a nd students ta l k ing, a n o r c h e s t r a , t h e Me a n Green footba l l tea m ta k ing t he f ield, resea rchers in a laborator y, a student in a n a r t e x h ibit , a shot of t he ad m i n ist rat ion bu i ld i ng a nd va r ious ot her t hings. If someone were to watch the commercial without the sound on, t he combinat ion of t he se i ma ge s wou ld n’t send a clea r message about the university. Yet, the worst pa r t w a s t he c he e s y a nd emba r r a s si ng v oic e -over,

stating that UNT is home to “a zi l lion oppor tunit ies.” A zi l lion, rea l ly? T he use of t h is word makes UNT and its students sound immature and uneducated. The same idea could be easily delivered w ith the replacement of “zillion” with infinite. Exposure for the universit y is v ita l to t he success of its students. If potentia l employers recog n i ze UNT as a school t hat produces talented graduates, students a re more l i kely to obt a i n better jobs, better represent the school, and better give back to their a lma mater. As UNT strives to achieve Tier One stat us, wh ich wou ld desig nate more funds to the universit y for research purposes and help UNT be considered a more wel l-respected u n iversit y, administrators should a lso consider the impact advertising could have on making these advances a rea lit y. Tow a rd t he end of t he game, ESPNU commentators discussed the construction of the new football stadium at Mean Green Village and UNT’s ties to HKS Architects,

who desig ned bot h Da l las Cowboys stadium a nd t he A merican A irlines center. If the commentators hadn’t mentioned the new stadium on air, viewers wouldn’t have known about the venue and it s est i mated $78 m i l l ion price tag, according to a June 17 ntdaily.com article. Watching different college football games on Saturday, u n iversit y com mercia ls targeted certain aspects of t heir respective universit y. UNT’s commercial, however, did just t he opposite. W h i le I ca n u ndersta nd t he d i f f icu lt y i n choosi ng one a s p e c t of U N T ov e r another, Saturday’s commercia l didn’t deliver a memorable message to v iewers. Before this commercial hits telev ision a ir waves aga in, ad ma ker s shou ld choose one feature of t he universit y to focus on. It’s a lso impor ta nt to let t he students tel l t he stor y. There are more than 36,000 s t udent s on c a mpu s a nd ever y one ha s a d i f ferent aspect to sha re. Unfortunately, UNT won’t have a not her oppor t u n it y for nat iona l ex posure t his

season, unless viewers have subscr ibed to CBS Col lege Spor t s or t he Su n Belt Net work cha nnels. W hile any positive publicit y a ids UNT a nd its g raduates, UNT’s nat iona l e x p o s u r e c a n’t d e p e n d on t he at t it udes of spor ts commentators.

Veteran: Iraq war coverage lacking O n M a r c h 2 0, 2 0 0 3, a group of A mericans set out to do what was thought to be impossible. Their goa l, and the goal of warriors who followed in their footsteps for the next seven years, was nothing less than to rid Iraq of a ter r ible d ic t ator a nd establish a democracy in a region thought to be inhospitable to free government. They said it was impossible. We proved them w rong. I say “we” bec au se I w a s t her e, t o o. B e t w e en September 2007 a nd Apr i l 2008, I spent a tour of duty in Al Anbar Province, Iraq with t he Un ited St ates Ma r i ne Corps. I saw the hard work, sweat and blood that went into pulling a countr y back from the brink of chaos. The dead and wounded are more than just numbers to me. My sergeant had to be f lown out of Iraq after he sustained a back injur y from a roadside

bomb. The war that was waged by the United States against the Baathist government and later a terrorist insurgency w ill forever be the defining moment in the lives of thousands of veterans. It’s because of t his t hat I was hor r i f ied by t he N T Da ily’s coverage when t he I raq Wa r c a me to a n end a week ago. T he occa sion wa s ma rked by no less t han t hree sections in t he September 3 e d it ion ; t he front page article, the editorial and campus chat. W hile the editoria l was strictly a commenta r y on t he president’s speech, both the front page article and campus chat were about students’ feelings about the end of the war. So I ask t his: where were t he veterans’ opinions? UNT has a subst a nt ia l c om mu n it y of vetera ns t hat is severa l hu nd red st rong. Ma ny of

them are Iraq veterans like myself. W hile I respect the opi n ion s of t he a v e r a ge u ndecided f resh ma n or a ra ndom ph i losophy g uy, I don’t remember seeing them carr y ing a rif le or standing post on cold Iraqi nights. I n leav i ng out t he ver y voices that fought and won t he I r a q Wa r, I fe e l t he N T Da i ly demon st rated a considerable lack of jou rnalistic integrity. Four thousand, four hundred sevente en of t hose voic e s w i l l never be heard again. The least we ca n do is to hea r the stor y from the warriors who saw what they died for. To my fellow Iraq veterans who might read this, I want you to know how proud I am to be among you. They said it couldn’t be done. We did it any way. I want to leave you w ith a few words that my chaplain, Lt. Daniel Shaw, said

a few day s before we lef t Iraq. “Thirty years from now, w hen you r g ra ndch i ld ren a re sit t i ng on you r k nee, and they ask you about the w a r s of t he 21st cent u r y, i n I r a q a nd A f g h a n i s t a n a nd a s k a b out w h at y ou did. You won’t have to tell t hem you were work ing at Starbucks.”
