Denton City Council bans K2 BY A BIGAIL A LLEN Managing Editor
Denton residents w ill no longer be able to buy or sell K2 starting Sept. 21. T he Cit y Cou nci l voted yes unanimously to ban the drug in Denton at its Tuesday night meeting in City Hall. The ordinance prohibits the use, pu rcha se, possession a nd sa le of t he prev iously lega l substance because of its potential health risks, the Denton police chief said. If the ordinance is violated, the crime w ill be considered a Class C Misdemeanor, said Stephanie Berr y of the cit y attorney’s staff. A wa r n i ng on labels of K 2 products reads “Not for huma n consumption.” The drug, developed by a Clemson University chemist during the ‘90s, is intended for use as potpourri, police said. But police have seen incidences of people smok i ng the drug, which is known to produce marijuana-like reactions in the consumer. The Denton Police Depa rt ment has encountered issues with K2 use, Denton Chief of Police Roy Minter said. “Users may experience far more intense effects compared to smok ing ma rijua na,” he said. “K2 may cause intense anxiety, agitation and even seizures or conv ulsions by in hibit ing t he neurot ra nsmitters more efficiently than marijuana and therefore presents a serious danger to the user when overdosed.” Beginning in May, Minter

Some of the cases he presented to the Council to back up his suppor t of t h e or d i n a n c e i n c l u d e d people ranging in age from a 17-year-old boy to a 67-yearold man. Denton joins a list of other North Texas cities that have banned the substance, such as Allen, Cleburne, Mansfield, Dallas and Plano. Although the U.S. has yet to ban K2, some Western countries have
already done so, including Au st r ia, Ca nada, Fra nce, Germany and Italy. Mayor Ma rk Bu r roug hs said he initially felt uncertain about making the decision to ban the drug as a city. “This is not t he norma l f u n c t i o n o f c i t i e s … ,” Bu r roug hs sa id. “Because it is a current problem that appears to be growing in our community, it’s one of those situations that, ‘Does it add anything beneficial?’ … and I think the answer is no.”
Calling for a Cure
Through investigating, the police found 12 places that sell K2, including such stores as The Zebra’s Head and EZ Check. T he ba n i ncludes a l ist of names used for K2 in an at tempt to prevent na me cha nges from inva lidating the ordinance.

Mase Taherian, a kinesiology senior, and his Delta Sigma Phi fraternity brothers are standing up against cancer. For the last four years, they have spent 100 consecutive hours per year standing on a large plywood box in order to raise money and awareness for cancer. They have partnered with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and will donate all proceeds to the charity. Some sororities on campus are helping to spread the word, Taherian said. See GREEKS on Page 2
Fire Rescue budget that would reduce the number of firefighters on the fire engines for a couple of outlying stations from four to three. The fire department issue inspired several comments from the community and the city government members. “O ver t i me i s a ser iou s problem w it h cit y governments, a nd we have some serious overtime issues…,” Burroughs said, adding that t he cit y needs to “f i nd a better way” to handle the fire
department situation. Battalion Chief Ken Gold spoke, saying the issue was not about overtime. “It’s not about overtime, it’s about our ability to do the job effectively and safely,” he said. “... If you cut staff on the fire engines, you’re not trimming fat, you’re chopping muscle and bone.” The Council will decide on the potential cut at its 6:30 p.m. Sept. 21 meeting in the City Hall Council Chambers at 215 E.

Though practically nonexistent for a number of years, the Texas Student Association is intent on re-establishing itself as an organization that spea ks for students across the state. The association consists of representatives from Texas universities who take student issues to the state Legislature. D u r i ng t he su m mer, t he University of Texas hosted a meeting for the association members to choose their officers and reform the organization after years of inactivity. A major change instituted i n Aust i n wa s a mea su re a l low i ng a w ider a r ray of schools, including pr ivate universities, to join the association. “At one point it was just state schools,” sa id Kev in Sanders, the vice chairman of the association and president of t he UNT St udent Government Association. “In the summer, we extended it to all universities.” In November, t he g roup will hold another meeting in Austin where the members w ill begin formulating the a ssociat ion’s agenda a nd decide what issues are most pressing and require intervention at the state level. “We’re com i ng toget her a s st udent leaders of ou r universities and finding out what issues our students are concerned about,” Sanders said. “We decide to go and
“Let’s find issues where we can look each other in the eye and say ‘This is important.’” —John Lawler TSA chairman talk to the Legislature about them.” TSA chairman John Lawler sa id t he TSA is t he state’s la rgest st udent advoc ac y group. It was first formed in 1948 and remained in place a s a n orga n i zat ion advocating for students at a state level for 45 yea rs. He sa id during the 1970s and ’80s, the organization was active a nd successf ul in f ighting state deregulation of tuition and had a student defense fund in place. But according to a posted summary of the organization’s history on the TSA website, discord between schools and inf ighting led to its collapse by December 2003. Since then, however, large state universit ies, such as t he Un i ver sit y of Te x a s, Texas A&M Universit y and Texas Tech University, have returned to the table following efforts by the University of Houston, Texas A&M and UNT to re-establish it. “We don’t w a nt to get divided,” Lawler said. “Let’s find issues where we can look each other in the eye and say,
‘This is important.’” Many students said they are not aware the TSA exists. However, many also said that an organization formed to handle student issues on a state level is a positive thing. Carolina Echeverry, an aviation logistics sophomore, said it’s best if most student issues are handled at the local level by a student’s own university, but for issues that the school can’t handle, a statewide organization is a good thing. “I think it’s a good thing because you just need to be heard,” she said. The TSA is recruiting more schools into t he organization to include those schools’ opinions and issues in the representation to the state Legislature. “It’s one thing to have a single representative or an ad m i n i st r ator before t he Legislature, but what really makes a difference is when you have packed room of educated individuals standing shoulder to shoulder,” Lawler said. “That’s the thing that leaves an impact.”

too much of a hassle. “Other than some traffic congestion, it doesn’t really affect the driving too much,” he said. “Of course, it’s different for the passengers who have to wait in it.” One of those passengers, history junior Kyle Wood, said he didn’t mind the wait. Armed with an umbrella, he said it wasn’t too bad. “Although I’d rather it be cold and dry than humid and wet.” Wood said.

Annual program gives tips for ‘affordable’ healthy eating By JeSSica PauL
Senior Staff Writer About 50 students gathered in the Eagle Student Services Center last night to learn how to eat healthy on a budget. T he St udent Money Management Center, along w it h t he Tra nsfer Center and the Student Health and Wellness Center, hosted an Eating Healthy on a Budget workshop that addressed topics including eating natural foods, budgeting, limiting unhealthy foods and using coupons and ads to save cash. The workshop is offered every spring, summer and fall. The workshop has been popular lately because people are so interested in saving money, said Rachel Grimes, program coordinator of the Student Money Management Center. Grimes and David Arnold, coordinator for health promotion and health education for the Student Health and Wellness Center, hosted the event. Both said making a shopping list is one of the most helpful ways students can save money. Students should stick to their list when grocery shopping, Grimes said. “One of the biggest places that people spend the most money outside of their living costs is food, so if we can help people eat healthier and save money, that’s our ultimate goal,� she said. Students can prepare by stocking up a kitchen w ith necessa r y basics li ke sa lt, pepper, butter and olive oil. Students don’t realize that these essentials are already in the food when going out to eat, she said. W hen students are living on their own, their diets can go “a little bit crazy� because students don’t always have all the necessary tools to cook, Grimes said. Eating healthy can be affordable and cost-effective, Grimes stressed to attendees.

Students gather around to sign in and receive free cups and water bottles at Tuesday’s Eating Healthy on a Budget workshop. They were also put in a raffle to win one free sandwich from Jimmy John’s. Buying store-brand items i nstead of na me-bra nd versions will save about 30 percent of the total grocery bill, she said. If students k now how to plan meals and realize how much it costs to make meals at home, healthy eating really isn’t expensive, Grimes said. Pallavi Baisyat, a psychology s en ior, s a id she le a r ne d new information on eating healthy. “They were talking about hea lt hy food a nd mone y management, but I learned a lot,� she said. “I heard organic foods were a lot more healthier, but with apples and oranges, that’s also something we can buy inorganic.� T he St udent Money Management Center will host a workshop on grocery saving tips at 5 p.m. today in General Academic Building 317.

Students sound off on their images of beauty A MBER JONES Intern
For years, society has redefined the term beauty and this year is no different. While looks seem to be a main theme in today’s media, students have openly admitted the pressure to conform to society’s perception of beauty can have an effect on their daily lives and esteem. “Sometimes I do feel like I have to look a certain way in order to be successful,” said Jessica Wright, an English junior. “I always try to look for the best make up products or hair care. It’s kind of sad but it’s like this embedded concept that looks get you somewhere in life. Like seriously, when is the last time you have seen an ugly, fat or filthy celebrity or person on TV? Rarely ever.” John Hipple, a counseling psychologist at UNT, has heard similar statements like Wright’s on a daily basis. “Self-esteem is an issue for everyone and is definitely a common problem across the student campus,” he said. “We have all these societal expectations about what we should look like, parental expectations about how well we should do in school. Personal expectations can sometimes make us think that we are not measuring up to friends, family or society.” Bulimia, anorexia and even binge drinking have become dangerous but popular methods that students engage in to try and meet society’s standards. “Binge drink ing is ver y common,” Hipple said. “A lot of people are unhappy with themselves sober, so they use drinking to take away the dissatisfaction. They think, ‘I can be more outgoing or more social if I’m a little more than tipsy.’” Men are also beginning to show signs of increased weight training and diet supplement intake, according to healthyplace.com. Although low self-esteem and

A magazine cover featuring Taylor Swift showcasing high fashion models and a variety of images shows beauty is a constantly evolving concept. distorted body image is usually associated with females, men have begun to feel pressured and apprehensive about their appearances too. “I’m 5’3 and I’m constantly made fun of for my height. I laugh it off most of the time, but other times I’m like embarrassed about how short I am,” said Jordan Lloyd, a Denton resident. Although it is no secret that feelings of insecurity are common, there are students who refuse to immerse themselves in a beauty-obsessed world and define beauty as much more than appearance. “Everyone has those days, even skinny people, where they think they could lose more weight,” said Denikka Duncan, a fashion design junior. “I know, I have them all the time. But at the end of the day, I will never be a size zero, nor do I want to be. Just because I’m not teeny-
tiny does not mean I’m a nobody. I love me for me no matter what size I am. I think everyone should just love themselves as they are.” Jeff Kelly, a psychology junior, said personality is a major characteristic he considers in a partner. “You could be stunning, but if there is nothing going on upstairs and we have nothing to talk about then I can’t see myself [being with] that person,” he said. Students suffering from selfesteem problems or pressure to be perfect should talk about their issues, Hipple said. “I think it’s important to talk to a friend, family member, counselor,” he said. “Selfesteem causes emotional problems when it’s kept inside. You want the person you’re talking to to listen and understand. Don’t hide away your uneasiness, speak out about your problems.”
For one group on campus, the art of sculpting isn’t only for art students anymore. The UNT Sculpture Collective, created in 2008, provides students with new friendships and gallery space for showings and is open to any major. The first meeting will be held at 5 p.m. on Thursday in Art Building 108. “A lot of people go to classes, work, then straight home without any social escapes,” said Wade Colwill, a philosophy and sculpture senior and president of the group. “That’s what we’re trying to give them through the Sculpture Collective, an escape.” The collective began when a group of sculpture graduate students were trying to find a place for people to stay connected but also have a chance to present their work outside of studio classes, Colwill said. The UNT Sculpture Collective consists of 15 members. Colwill would like the group to expand and has hopes that it will, since the new school year just started. All members must pay a fee of $20 to join, which covers renting gallery space throughout the year and a group T-shirt.
“Each medium needs a representation and voice because they all have specific things to offer,” said Sarah Black, a sculpture and painting senior and member. “Sculpture is an even broader voice and I think it’s very important to get that voice out there and heard.” Meetings are held twice a month. Thursday’s meeting will give information and event details. “In the past the meetings have just been a social thing so, we’re trying to instill more art related focuses,” Colwill said. Since he wants everyone to focus on the goal of the collective being a network for people, so the second meeting of the month is a barbecue for members to get to know one another better. The UNT Sculpture Collective wants people to be daring and break out of the stereotype of associating sculpture with bronze and other metals. Mediums like wood, Plexiglass and stone are usually overlooked, but can be seen in contemporary sculptures. “At this point, there’s so much art that’s been made that it’s really hard to find that originality,” Black said. “Because you have such classic mediums tied
to you, you’re really trying to break out of that barrier.” At the end of the year, the group will take a trip to the Rachofsky House in Dallas, which is home to the private art collector. “You’re looking at the value of art, but you’re in someone’s home so, it adds that extra layer of personal closeness,” said Candace Downing, a UNT alumna and former member. As the year progresses and classes become more stressful, the UNT Sculpture Collective hopes students take the opportunity to share their creativity with others while enjoying some needed down time. “Art isn’t just for art making people, it’s for everybody,” Colwill said.

Analyzing the opposition, Saey then peeks at where her tea m mates a re a nd where she needs to put t he ba l l. As the ser ve makes its way over the net, Saey calls out inst r uct ions for her fellow teammates, setting them up to slam the ball directly into t he wood t hat l ies on t he other side of the net. Saey, a Hononega h High School (Il l.) sta ndout, has f lou r ished i n her t h i rd season, the first under new head coach Ken Murczek. In 2010, Saey has earned honors
at every tournament the Mean Green has participated in, leading UNT to a 5-2 overall record. “She has natural leadership qualities just being a setter, because you have to be a leader,” junior middle blocker Melanie Boykins said. “She gets us going a nd gets us motivated.” T h i s s e a s on, S ae y ha s earned Most Valuable Player honors at t he Jacksonv ille State Invitational, racking up 9.10 assists per set there. T he I l l i nois nat ive ha s i mproved t remendously from the previous two years to now, setting career highs in kills, attacks and assists percentages. Over the past weekend, Saey earned a Samford Invitational All-Tournament selection with

an average of 12.25 assists per set in the team’s four matches. Saey currently leads the Sun Belt Conference w ith 11.04 assists per set. Saey is or ig i na l ly f rom R o c k t o n , I l l ., w h i c h i s approximately 16 hours and 969 miles away from Denton. The small town, which had a population of 5,504 in 2007, is where she grew up and picked up the sport in sixth grade. Saey would then migrate down south, deciding to play at the collegiate level at UNT. “It w a s a d i f ferent experience,” Saey said. “People talk differently, said different things. I got made fun of a lot for my accent, but it was fun and I enjoyed it. I love being down here.” Kris Saey, Kayla’s mother, originally wanted her daughter to be a dancer or a cheerleader. How e v er, K a y l a a nd her father, Jeffery, had different intentions. “I t h i n k she made t he comment that if she is going to be out there cheering for somebody, she wanted that person to be cheer i ng for her,” Kris Saey said. “Her dad worked with her a little bit, and she just had a natural talent and took it from there.” When she’s not on the court, Saey enjoys catching up on movies along with watching old ones, like “Sweet Home Alabama.” Saey helps her you nger sister, Danielle, who has been playing since the age of three, practice to become a strong volleyball prospect. “She practices with me every day af ter school,” Danielle Saey said. “She always gives me tips after seeing me play, on how I can get better... I look up to her for volleyball, and she helps me in school. She sets a good example.” As the team’s lone setter, Saey has helped t he Mea n Green tally more assists than its opponents in all seven of its matches this season. With all the touches she will see each match, Saey will be asked to provide more of a leadership role this season. “We did this book, and it’s a l l about con f idence, a nd basically being a good leader,” Saey said. “So I read all the chapters, did all the exercises in it, and it just helped me step up and know that if I’m more voca l and set a good example, my team is going to follow me.”

Junior setter Kayla Saey ranks eighth in UNT history in assists and is second on the squad with 28 service aces last season. Leadership is just one of the qualities Saey is working on this season, a long w ith her ser v ing a nd defensive abilities. With 1,488 career assists, Sae y i s c u r rent l y eig ht h i n school h i stor y i n t he category. “A f t er a ne w t r a i n i n g philosophy has come in, her game isn’t awesome right now, but I think it’s improving,”
Murczek said. “I still think she has room to grow. She’s def initely in a better spot than when I got the job in February.” Saey has cont i nued t he success of her sophomore year, which saw her average 8.93 assists per set, including a c a r e e r- h i g h 5 7- a s s i s t per for ma nce aga i nst Sa m Houston State. The junior has helped lead
the Mean Green to the school’s best start since the program’s first year in 1976. “Ever y single play, ever y single point has to go through t he setter,” Mu rczek sa id. “She’s the only player that contacts the ball pretty much on every rally…I think she’s prett y committed to tr y to improve also. Those are the kinds of kids that you want to coach.”
Baby Talk: Tune touts toughness against Tigers Opinion BY BEN BABY
Senior Staff Writer W hen redsh i r t sen ior qua r terback Nat ha n Tu ne won the starting spot from sophomore Derek Thompson a couple of week s ago, a n a rg ument aga inst him was that he isn’t ver y fast. Like the rabbit found out aga inst t he tortoise, speed isn’t ever y thing. Against a swarming Clemson defense that found it s w ay i nto t he back f ield e a r l y on S a t u r d a y, Tu n e showed that his feet were in fact sw ift enough to get him out of trouble. He’s not nearly as fast as re d s h i r t s ophomore w ide re c eiver R i le y Dodge w a s at quarterback, but he does enou g h to bu y h i m s el f a fe w more s e c ond s i n t he pocket. There were many instances on S a t u r d a y w he r e Tu ne fou nd h i msel f f lushed out of the pocket. Tune, who made the third start of his career, displayed maturit y a nd toughness in front of a hostile environment
and a national audience. The Celina H.S. star found ways to ma ke plays w ith his feet a long w ith his arm.
Ben Baby One play that really sticks out was on a third down play in which Tune was forced out of t he pocket. He not on ly scrambled for a first down, he refused to go out-of-bounds, choosing instead to absorb contact and roll for a couple of extra yards. T he stat sheet say s t hat Tune had 15 ca r r ies for 13 yards, an average of less than one yard a carr y. However, it a l s o st ate s t h at Tu ne’s lon ge s t c a r r y w a s f or 15 yards, showing his ability to ta ke advantage of a sagging Clemson secondar y. This Saturday, the former

Staff Writer
As the new semester gets into f ull sw ing, t he Mean Green women’s golf tea m will try to capitalize on last season’s improvements with a you ng but ex per ienced squad. “I thought last season was a good move for us,� head coach Jeff Mitchell said. “We started the year ranked at about 130th and at the end of the year ranked about 90th. At one point we had moved up into the middle-70s in the rankings.� Some of that success was due in part to standout Jordan Rose, who helped lead UNT to its only tournament win
“I’m hopeful that we can move up somewhere around the top 50 in the country.� —Jeff Mitchell Women’s golf head coach poised to climb up in the rankings this season, there is one big problem area for the team. “The short game,� junior Kel s e y K ipp a nd s en ior C h a nd r a A le x a nder s a id almost simultaneously. Mitchell agrees wholeheartedly.
“For the last two years, I’ve been pretty much harping on the same thing,� Mitchell said. “We hit the ball really well from tee to green, but our short game has been holding us back. We just have too many putts. It’s really a big focus for us this fall.� T he t e a m w i l l r et u r n

Tune has showed that he can play against some of the better teams in the country, but his decision making must improve if UNT has any chance at a winning season. The bottom line is that the Mean Green must cut back on turnovers if it wants to win games. We saw how important this is just days ago in Death Valley and it will be a factor in every contest this season.
plenty of familiar faces, with K ipp bei ng t he sta ndout among them. Last season, the University of MissouriKansas City transfer posted t he second-lowest st roke average on the Mean Green. The mix of new talent with the returners’ experience has everyone’s expectations high as both Kipp and Alexander. Their biggest goal is to make t he reg iona l tou r na ment, which would give them an opportunity to represent UNT in the NCAA tournament. “I’m hopeful that we can move up somewhere around the top 50 in the country,� Mitchell said. “I would love to think we can give Denver a run for their money in the
conference tour na ment. I still think the biggest goal for us is making the regional tou r na ment a nd at lea st giving ourselves an opportunit y to go to t he NC A A Championship.� The team will kick things off in the two-day 2010 Worldlink North Texas Fall Classic. Mitchell has already taken the team to the course a few times to prepare. As for what he expects, he kept it ver y simple. “I want to see us win the tournament,� Mitchell said. The tournament will start at 8 a.m. Monday at the Golf Club at Champions Circle. UNT will compete against 12 other teams.
these types of plays. Losing ju n ior defensive back Steven Ford to an ankle injury doesn’t help, but there are players who can make a difference on this team. If junior defensive back Royce Hill can keep opponents’ best receivers under control, and junior defensive lineman Brandon Akpunku can get after the quarterback, progress can be made. Big plays can make or break a game, and if UNT wants to limit them, the defense must step up and be prepared to do its job: defend.
nation, UNT must do a better job at keeping its quarterback clean. Tune didn’t have a bad game against top competition, going 19-29 with 240 yards and a touchdown. He will only continue to improve if he has more time to throw. A short-term concern is about potentially replacing junior center J.J. Johnson, who sprained his foot and is questionable for the Rice game this weekend in the home opener. The Plano native has been a starter since his freshman year and is key to successfully protecting Tune and allowing junior running back Lance Dunbar to run wild. All things considered, UNT showed a lot of promise in its loss to Clemson and I am confident it can compete in the Sun Belt this season. However, the team must work on these issues if it is to play up to its potential.
Sports with Sean: Things to work on after first game OPINION BY SEAN GORMAN
Senior Staff Writer Follow ing the UNT football team’s 35-10 loss to the Clemson Tigers, there have been many of the same criticisms that have knocked the program over the past few seasons. Statements like “here we go again,� “did you see all the big plays we let up?� and “well, basketball season is only a couple months away� are a few of the comments I’ve come across since watching the defeat on Saturday. Being more of an optimist myself and seeing the glass as half full, I beg the members of the Mean Green nation to understand that this season
w ill be a step in the right direction from last year and that there were plenty of positives taken from Saturday’s loss. Fortunately, the problems UNT faced this weekend were very straightforward and can be addressed as the season goes on. In order to examine what the Mean Green must do to salvage a winning season, let’s look at these issues and consider how UNT can build on t he positives from last weekend.
Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers W hile the offense moved the ball well, with 462 yards aga i nst one of t he ACC’s elite teams, it was the pair of picks by senior quarterback Nathan Tune in the red zone
that killed UNT’s chances of competing. When the Mean Green quarterbacks threw 17 interceptions last season, it was an issue that prevented the team from winning a handful of close games. If this year is to be any different, those numbers will have to change.
Stopping the big play We don’t know how vulnerable the Mean Green will be aga inst big plays when it faces lesser competition, but Saturday’s game sent a loud message to the teams in the Sun Belt: UNT is susceptible to the deep ball and the home run. After allowing an opening 6 0 -y a r d t ouc hdow n a nd 70-yard touchdown reception against the Tigers, UNT must make a better effort to prevent
Protecting the quarterback One of t he reasons why Tune made those mistakes in the red zone was the immense amount of pressure that the Clemson defensive line was able to put on him. The Tigers sacked Tune five times, and while that line may be one of the best in the

Be more than a hipster Christian
Nods and Shakes Editorial Shake: River of excuses from Dallas Cowboys This is a big year for the Dallas Cowboys. The Super Bowl is being played in their new f lagship stadium, and they are the trendy pick to win it all this year. Yet, once again “America’s team” looks to be all talk and little game. This preseason was full of pathetic excuses, lots of name-ca lling, and sad play a ll around. Tony Romo fumbled uncontrollably, showing glimpses of his past vices while the defense seemed completely inept. The offensive line went down with injuries, and the replacements showed very little effort or talent. Whenever the team was asked about the concerns many fans have about the horrific preseason play, the team blew it off. “I don’t think we played well, we didn’t run the ball well enough. We didn’t execute well enough in the passing game. We had too many mistakes. That was not our best showing. We need to get better,” said embattled Cowboy quarterback Tony Romo to ESPN after their horrific Week 3 performance against the Texans, which was trademarked with terrible interceptions, horrific defense, and embarrassing fumbles. This team just seems to think it is guaranteed a trip to the Super Bowl, and they can just turn it on when the regular season comes around. The Editorial Board believes that this Cowboys team needs to own up to poor play, and thinks they will be sitting at home watching this year’s Super Bowl. Nod: NCA A to strip Reggie Bush of Heisman Award In 2005, Reggie Bush decimated NCA A college football defenses, eventually leading to USC to winning the national championship. Yet, after a lengthy investigation from the Heisman trust, they are coming to the conclusion that his trophy and award is more than likely to be stripped from him in the next coming days. On June 10th, the NCA A ruled the University of South California athletic department v iolated a variet y of rules in football, men’s basketball and women’s tennis programs. They declared USC ineligible from 2004 through 2009, declaring that they will lose 30 football scholarships, placing a postseason ban in the 2010 and 2011 seasons, requiring vacation of all football victories in December 2004 running through 2005, and pretty much requiring USC to completely wipe Reggie Bush’s time at USC from its history. Now, they’ve set their sights on Bush, after it was found their boosters offered him money, gifts, and a variety of other incentives for him to attend USC, which he accepted. By accepting these incentives, Bush became ineligible to be on the team, and ineligible to win any awards. Technically, Bush should not have been playing at all, according to NCA A rules. Since it’s obvious Bush was ineligible, The Editorial Board nods in agreement with the NCAA and the Heisman trust that Bush deserves to have the award stripped from him, and be given to the person who we feel was also more deserving, Vince Young.
In a recent ly publ ished column, I referenced “Hipster Christianity”. Written by Brett McCracken, the book remarks on the new found clique of college-aged students who find it stylish to be a believer in Jesus Christ. It’s easy to point us out: we enjoy listening to the music of Sufjan Stevens and reading any thing that Rob Bell w rites while a lso digging into heav y theology such as Calvinism. From an outer perspective, we have on slim-fitting jeans, thickrimmed glasses and western sh i r ts. Maybe you’l l even find us purchasing vinyls at Recycled Books. These are all generalizat ions mea nt to be pu rely hu morous, but t here is a
point to it a ll: how do we com for tably a nd r ig hteously intertwine our religion and culture? At the point where Christianity becomes “cool” and church becomes entertainment, we lose the meaning of what Jesus Christ is really all about. It’s more than reading a trendy book or even attending a service each weekend. It’s about t ra nsfor m i ng into a person who is seeking answers through Christ. The Westminster Confessions of Faith put it best when they say that the purpose for man is to “glorify God and enjoy Him forever.” Ultimately, this has a large effect on our lives. It should make us think, act and love
differently. If we act like fundamentalists who hit people over the head with our Bibles and stand in the UNT Courtyard condemning everyone to Hell, we become hateful mockeries of the Christian faith. On the other hand, if we proclaim the name of Christ while engaging in promiscuous sex and smoking marijuana on Friday nights, we might as well call ourselves hypocritical heretics. W hile I w ill be t he f irst to point out that I fall short daily, it’s important for us all to walk the walk. It doesn’t matter how many times we read “Desiring God” or the amount of times we go to church per month.
It’s a matter of walking in fellowship with Jesus Christ in community with others.

Beauty on Earth without Christianity As a disclaimer, I would like to say that I am not attacking Christianity, but rather the bureaucratic, organized structure that led it away from its founding precepts. Apologetics use logic and reason to claim moral superiority while politely telling all who don’t believe enough in their God’s infinite love and mercy will be doomed to eternal torment and suffering. I was raised Catholic, and though I’ve never lost my faith in a divine creator, I have had the wool pulled from my eyes on organized religion. I was raised to believe in all that the Church teaches, but I did not have to actually know all of what it taught. Obedience was valued more highly than understanding. Lucifer, the Bringer of Light, Enlightenment, and the Tree
of Knowledge all were demonized as inherently evil. The more that I had started to look stuff up, the less I found to act ua l ly rei n force t he belief structure I was born into. I was indoctrinated to understand that non-Catholics were simply misguided Christia ns who needed to simply acknowledge the fact that the Pope was the de-facto leader of the faith and the ea r t h ly represent at ive of Jesus. I was taught that we were right, and everyone else was wrong. We had been taught that t he Bible is t he infa l lible word of God, but it has been in the hands of fallible men, and edited for thousands of years. The Council of Carthage in 397 formalized what would be considered as Biblical and
what was Apocryphal. Luke 2:14 has vastly different meanings when you compare the different translations. Exodus 22:18 states that “Thou shalt not suffer a Witch to live,” violating the “Thou shalt not kill” commandment. It has been suggested t hat K ing James replaced the original term, “Poisoner,” with “Witch” as a rationale to scapegoat the Pagans in his day. For t hese reasons and more, I cannot accept the Bible as “acts directly from God”. Another concept that I have preached at me is how Heaven is perfect bliss of being within the presence of God while Hell is the exact opposite. How can one be perfectly blissful, knowing that your loved ones a re in per fect torment? Fina l ly, I have to rebut
the claims that God can be found through being indoctrinated into an organized religious structure wrought w it h its ow n bureaucracy. Being raised Catholic, I went to a church where the cost of removing asbestos from the building was used to guilt for more donations, listening to weekly sermons on tithing a percent of your annual income to the church, and found out that priests were getting relocated in order to escape legal charges for committing what was preached as a sin. As a Pagan, I see so much more of a divine presence in nature than in the organizations made by man. Danielle Pellett is a Chemistry senior. She can be reached at danipellett@gmail. com.
