“America the Beautiful” was heard throughout the walls of the Murchison Performing Arts Center as the UNT Symphony Orchestra rehearsed for its big debut at Cowboys Stadium on Friday.

The orchestra will perform with Tim McGraw at the Superbowl XLV Countdown

Live from Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.

The performance will begin at 7:30 p.m., and the UNT orchestra will perform in concert. Also included in the celebration is a tribute to Emmitt Smith’s recent acceptance into the Hall of Fame.

The concert is expected to last until 10:30 p.m.

UNT orchestra students are enthusiastic about this expe-

rience. The 100 members will perform for nearly 36,000 guests.

“It’s a lot of fun music,” said Salma Bachar, a violin performance junior. “Plus playing with Tim McGraw, that’s probably my main thing.”

The orchestra has been rehearsing weekly on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for two hours at a time to prepare. It

consists of wind players, percussion and strings.

“We’ve worked pretty hard,” said Salwa Bachar, a viola performance junior and Salma’s sister.

“We’ve been preparing a lot for this concert. I‘m very excited to play for all those people.”

The performance will be lead by Clay Couturiaux, the assistant director of orchestral studies.

Water, Water Everywhere

“It still opens up more options.

More companies are going to take us seriously, like… Lockheed Martin [and] AT&T.”

Committee discusses pharmacy school proposal

BY K RYSTLE CANTU Senior Staff Writer

UNT officials are working on an internal proposal for a new college of pharmacy.

The college, if approved, will be split between UNT and UNT Dallas, with the first half of the six-year program in Denton and the second in Dallas. Once the internal proposal is approved, the committee will form an external proposal to present to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and the Legislature.

The College of Pharmacy planning committee will meet today to discuss plans in the proposal.

“We’re ent husia st ica l ly and aggressively pursuing this,” said Warren Burggren, the provost and vice president for academic affairs. “Adding a professional school is the right thing to do at the right time for UNT.” Planning the Proposal The discussion started as early as 1997, but nothing serious had been discussed until about three or four years ago, said Arthur Goven, chairman of the UNT biology department.

The proposal must also satisfy two university administrations

and the UNT System.

“It has to be a win for UNT and a win for UNT Dallas,” Goven said. “It will take a united front to sell this.”

Preparing the budget depends on faculty and facility planning, Goven said.

“We’ve got to get a dean and a curriculum,” he said. “We’ve got to get admission standards, and we’ve got to get all types of faculty policies and student policies, and accreditation.”

He has high hopes that the college will be worth it, Goven said.

“Everyone is excited, and

everyone is up for it,” he said.

“We will get there.”

The Growing Need The collaborative effort with UNT and UNTD would form a research-centered college that coincides with UNT’s efforts toward Tier One status and benefits residents of the Dallas-Fort Worth region.

“This is the largest metropolitan area without a pharmacy school,” said Rosemary Haggett, the vice chancellor for academic affairs and chairwoman of the planning committee.

Goven agrees.

“We’ve got about 6.3 million people in the DFW area that have to leave the area to attend pharmacy school,” he said, because the nearest schools are in Austin, Amarillo, Abilene and Houston.

Texas is also in need of pharmacists and is considerably lacking in them, Goven said.

“We have a need on the level of students that want to become pharmacists, and we have a need on the level of citizens [who] need the services of pharmacists,” he said.

Allyson Ciaburri, a biology sophomore, said some of her classmates wanted to pursue careers

in pharmacy but switched majors because of the lack of pharmacy schools in the area.

“They want to go into pharmacy and medicine, but they have to apply to other things or transfer schools because ... they don’t have it here,” she said.

If UNT’s proposal is successful, Ciaburri said, it would become a tremendous help to students desiring to pursue the career.

“I think it would be a good idea to keep kids here and maybe bring more kids … here,” she said.

SGA approves fall election schedule Students discuss

BY ISAAC WRIGHT Staff Writer

In its second meeting of t he semester, the Student G over n ment A s soc iat ion approved the schedule for t he fa l l elect ions of t he Home c om i ng c ou r t a nd members of t he SGA a nd assigned senators to the association’s committees.

The reports from the execut ive of f icers of t he SGA included an announcement

by Mercedes Fulbright, the SG A v ice president, t hat for mer P resident G eorge W. Bush w ill spea k at t he Coliseum on Nov. 17.

The meeting opened with the state of the student body address by Kevin Sanders, the SGA president. Sanders focused on t he points his ad m i n i st rat ion hopes to tackle this semester.

Those issues include an empha sis on bei ng more env i ron menta l ly f r iend ly as an organization and as a university, a commitment to

KEVIN SANDERS being a fiscally responsible SGA and a call for a greater involvement from the group in the promotion and support of UNT sports.

Sanders also stressed the need for senators to keep the students in mind when governing and “refocus the organization on the ‘S’ in our name — the students.”

The SGA is the student-led governmental body of UNT. “Ou r i nter na l con f l icts need to be put aside, and we need to work together for the common good,” Sanders said.

During the meeting, sena-

tors approved the schedule for the upcoming fall elections for homecoming candidates. Election week will be from Oct. 4 to 8 and results will be announced on Oct. 11.

Elect ion code meet ings were scheduled for Sept. 29 through Oct. 1. Approving the schedule is a first step in the election process because it sets the deadlines for when i nd iv idua ls ca n br i ng up issues concerning t he fa ll elections.

“The schedule was important to get information to students for when t hey wa nt to br ing information to the senate,” said Valerie Gonzalez, a senator for the College of Arts and Sciences.

Last year, the homecoming elect ions spa rked cont roversy w it h i n t he st udent government and the universit y concer ning t he issue of a bi l l t hat wou ld have a llowed same-sex couples

to run for Homecoming posit ions. A lt hough no attention was paid to this issue during the meeting, the election schedule provides the timeline for the issue to be brought before t he senate again.

“Students make the decisions,” Sanders said. “We just facilitate them.”

The fall elections are also where students can vote on the members of the student government.

“It’s t he sa me elect ion, just a different ballot,” SGA Sp e a ker Jo el A r r e dondo said.

T he SG A a lso assig ned senators to the committees on which they will serve for the semester. The internal, external and fiscal committees were made up of senators who had requested a specific committee.

“We need people being passionate where they want to be passionate,” Gonzalez said.

international issues

BY SABRINA BUCKINGHAM Contributing Writer

Major world topics, such as the recent f lood in Pakistan or t he c on f l ic t bet we en Mex ico and the U.S., have sparked interest in some UNT students.

Eig hteen members of t he Mo del I nter n at ion a l Organization had their first meeting Wednesday, and they agreed the group’s focus this semester would be on those topics.

T he or g a n i z at ion w a s founded in 1997 and is a student group that promotes global awareness and diplomacy throughout UNT. It meets from 4 to 5 p.m. every Wednesday in Wooten Hall 115.

“M IO s pr e a d s a w a r e ness of cultural diversity and current and past world events and problems through interclub activities and through national competitions,” said Cali Mikusek, an international studies junior and MIO events officer. “We raise awareness of current world issues and also help sponsor events and fundraisers on campus that aid others and benefit UNT students.”

UNT is the only university in the U.S. that has a model international organization.

Other schools may have organizations like Model UN. Model UN is a league in which universities representing different countries compete with each other about current issues. The UNT organization, however, also focuses on academic and social aspects Some of the social events include a conference that the UNT organization hosts every year for high school students so they can learn about what is going on in the world.

“It is the nerdiest and most amazing thing you can do,” said Morgan Jamison, an international studies senior and member relations officer about the conferences.

Others in the group say they enjoy the intensity of it and being able to debate and prove people wrong.

The group hosts academic lectures featuring political science and history professors who speak about current issues.

Ty pically, the group holds mixers and themed parties to make the group more laid back.

This semester’s theme party w ill be a communist party where attendees can dress up in red or like a famous communist.

In April 2010, t he group participated in a fundraiser for Haiti and has sponsored an Invisible Children event in the past.

Sh ino Endo, a n applied a nt h ropolog y g raduate student, said she enjoyed the networking aspect that the group provides. Endo has been involved with the group for five years.

Students are able to travel, attend events and meet prominent people. Last semester they met Syrian Ambassador Imad Moustapha in Washing ton D.C. There a re si x of f icers in the organization, and each one has studied abroad. They said they attribute that to the group.

“The key to ruling the world is k now ing how t he world works,” said Louie Bauldwin, a n i nter n at ion a l st ud ie s senior and the group’s vice president and treasurer. “We wa nt to create a n a rmy of well-educated, well-versed globetrotters that will systematically take over the name of MIO.” Bauldwin said alumni have vent u red i nto nongover nmental, CIA and state department careers.

He said there is much to ga in from t he group, even without prior knowledge of current international issues.

“It enables students’ life skills, like talking in front of a crowd,” said Gigi Kraynick, an international studies junior a nd t he group’s president.

“It also helps you in the real world and the business world by i n for m i ng people a nd spreading awareness.”

Local rivals UNT and UT-Arlington compete Saturday

BY R AEGAN POOL Intern

The UNT cross countr y tea m is prepa r i ng to h it t he road r u n n i ng at t he UT-Arlington Invitational on Saturday at Vandergriff Park in Arlington.

The tournament has the women’s team kicking off with a short two-mile run and the men’s team will follow on a short four-mile course. The tournament features Texas Christian University, Texas A&M Commerce, Paul Quinn College a nd t he Sout hern M e t h o d i s t U n i v e r s i t y ’s women’s team.

“This will be a short, but good meet,” UTA’s head coach John Sauerhage said. “TCU and North Texas are good teams.”

UNT and UTA were huge rivals when both were part of the Southland Conference in the 1980s and early 1990s.

Since UNT left the SLC to join the Sun Belt Conference, the rivalry has died down, but the flame still exists.

“It w a s a lw ay s f u n to c omp ete a g a i n st t hem,” Sauerhage said when asked about his experience w ith UNT. “They always have topnotch runners. I’m sure we would like to beat [them] as much as [they] would like to beat us.”

Men Bot h U N T a nd U TA competed in their first meets of the season last week at Baylor and Midwestern State, respectively. The UNT men finished

seventh out of 11 schools with an average time of 21:22.7 as a team. In comparison, UTA’s men’s team finished fourth out of eight schools with an average time of 20:03.11.

After all, this is Dallas, where every major sports team has consistent ly fa ltered after show ing signs of success.

(Nolan Ryan, I really hope your team does not live up to its reputation this season.)

We need something that shows we’re better than our actual record. No more points, no matter how valid they are, about how UNT was inches away from winning this game or that game.

Fans do not need a false sense of hope where they are led on to believe that this season will be different from the last three years.

If t he Mean Green had played an atrocious game against Clemson, if they hadn’t fallen short so many times last season, then the cause of hope would not be justified.

But in this case, it is.

It played well, and UNT didn’t look absolutely awful against a Tigers squad that played in the Atlantic Coast Conference title game and won a bowl game in 2009.

When UNT departs from its locker room, I’m positive that those who played on that humbling day in 2007 will keep it fresh in their mind as they face a Rice team that gave

Texas a good game.

This year, Western Kentucky is an away game, so fans are not going to be guaranteed a home victory this season. The Mean Green will have to scrap, hustle and fight for every point against a rapidly improving Sun Belt Conference.

Players and coaches fully expect UNT to be bowl-eligible by the end of the season.

That’s a realistic expectation, and anything short of that could cause soap opera-worthy drama in December.

If the clouds can hold their tears for a day, there should be a lot of students who come out

—John Sauerhage UTA Head Coach

4K in 16:04.07, a time that beats UNT’s top three performers Mollenkopf, junior Sara Dietz and senior Sallie Anderson, who clocked 16:17.0.

UNT women will have to work extra hard with only four of the top five performers competing. Freshman Elyssa Garcia, who head coach Sam Burroughs said will round out the top five, has yet to compete in her first collegiate meet and will be missing in action on Saturday because of NCA A eligibility complications.

“They’re getting used to a whole new world,” Burroughs said in regards to the four incoming freshmen who will serve as top scorers for both the men and women’s teams.

“The goal this week is for them to feel more comfortable.”

and support the Mean Green on its trek to relevance.

I promise that this will be the last column on how the Mean Green needs to play this season. This week’s game on Sept.11 will be a good indicator of what the rest of the year holds for Dodge and company.

After the last snap and the coaches greet at midfield, the membership of the Mean Green semi-faithful should decrease, with the faithful being rewa rded for t heir patience.

It should make for an interesting weekend.

Baby Talk: A test of faith, or lack thereof Opinion

BY BEN BABY

Senior Staff Writer This Saturday, the Rice Owls will flock to Fouts Field, hoping to repeat their 77-20 destruction of UNT in 2008.

A f ter t he Mea n Green’s valiant effort against Clemson, head coach Todd Dodge and company showed they can hang around with good teams.

However, I’m done looking for moral victories. I, along with the Mean Green semi-faithful, need something tangible.

This semi-faithful consists of

BEN BABY students, fans and alumni who want to get their hopes up, but are too afraid that they will end up disappointed when the clock shows all zeroes against Kansas State.

Mean Green to face biggest competition yet

BY FELICIA A LBA Staff Writer

The UNT volleyball team (5-2) will play against some highly competitive teams in the CenturyLink Premier along with an additional match up against UT-San Antonio on Friday.

The Mean Green, which is off to its best start since 1976, will face especially tough competition from Alabama (4-2), which is coming off of a championship-tournament win from the Bama Bash.

Alabama players libero Kelsey Anderson and middle blocker Leigh Moyer received A l l-Tou r na ment honors, with Anderson earning MVP honors.

“We need to just focus on good tempo, finding the middle and go up against t heir block ing scheme,” junior setter Kayla Saey said.

UNT will also face tournament host Texas State (2-4) and Tennessee Martin (2-4) this weekend.

T he Bobcat s w i l l be coming off a home-opener win and the Skyhawks will be coming of f a home-

opener loss.

After the two-day tournament, the Mean Green will travel to San Antonio to take on UTSA (2-5) in a match on Sunday.

Texas State leads t he series against UNT 20-4 and

“We need to focus on being relentless, playing scrappy and picking up every ball.”

—Sarah Willey Junior libero

Tennessee Martin with 1-0 in previous meetings.

“These are the best teams we’ve seen so far,” junior libero Sarah Willey said.

UNT has its own advantages under its belt as well, out-killing and out-assisting every opponent so far.

The Mean Green leads the Sun Belt Conference in both kills and assists with the team already racking up 350 kills so far.

Saey continues to lead the team and offense, leading

the SBC in assists at 11.04 assists per set. She also ranks eighth in career assists in school history.

However, one of t he biggest goals that the Mean Green will need to execute this weekend is the servereceive aspect of the game.

“There w i l l be heav y emphasis on passing to the target. We struggled this past weekend on the servereceive,” head coach Ken Murczek said. “It’s going to a be a tough day on Friday.”

Willey will be helping the defensive end, after earning the Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Week after posting 78 digs during last weekend’s tournament. Willey ranks eighth in school history in career digs with 822.

“We need to focus on being relentless, playing scrappy and picking up every ball,” Willey said.

The Mean Green will take on Alabama at 10 a.m. and Texas State at 7 p.m. on Friday in San Marcos. The team will then face Tennessee-Martin at noon on Saturday and will continue traveling to face UTSA at 1:30 p.m. Sunday in San Antonio.

Hatred fuels antiMuslim protest Editorial In the small town of Gainesville, Fl. a determined minister is going ahead on plans to burn Qurans on September 11, this Saturday, which he recently declared “International Burn-a-Quran Day”.

Now, his hatred and anger has been further exacerbated by the Muslim community center being built in the vicinity of ground zero and despite receiving more than 100 death threats, the minister is refusing to end his hatred-fueled campaign.

The Editorial Board believes the minister is just enraging already tense relations with people of the Islamic faith. His actions are outrageous.

Pastor Terry Jones, whose church has approximately 50 people, says he has received lots of encouragement and got mailed copies of the Islamic text volunteered for the burning. He has also received pressure from the White House, religious leaders — including Christians — and various political leaders to call off the burning yet he refuses to comply, arguing it is his First Amendment right.

General David Petraeus, commander of the forces in the U.S. and NATO in Afghanistan, e-mailed the Associated Press claiming that “images of the burning of a Quran would undoubtedly be used by extremists in Afghanistan to inflame public opinion and incite violence,” warning of the possible dangers the military may be put in by images like these.

He also spoke Wednesday with the Afghan president, saying the burning of a Quran would undermine the effort in Afghanistan and jeopardize the safety of coalition troops and civilians.

This small, localized demonstration is having widespread ramifications. Mohammad Mukhtar, cleric and candidate for the Afghan parliament in the upcoming election, claims it is the duty of Muslims to “react”, nearly inciting violence against Americans.

There is a lot of outcry from Muslims because, to the followers of Islam, any material containing verses from the Quran is sacred. Anything containing the name Allah or the Prophet Muhammad is also considered holy, so, to Muslims, this demonstration is considered a slap in the face.

By giving this minister publicity, we are simply giving him the fame and notoriety that he wants. He is feeding off of the outcry from Petraeus and the anger from the Afghan parliament.

He needs to be cut off from this notoriety.

People are speaking out against this for all the wrong reasons. Instead of being concerned that Jones and his followers are spewing hatred and anger hypocritical to the Christian faith, people and the media are more concerned Jones’ and his church may offend Muslims. Instead, people should be more concerned with the horrific way these people are treating Muslims throughout the world.

Page 7 ntdailyviews@gmail.com

Quran burning hurts all religion For those of you who have been completely sheltered from the news in recent weeks, let me bring your attention to one of the most insulting and disheartening stories I have read this month.

Rev. Terry Jones of Florida is hosting a “celebration” to torch Qurans on Sept.11, 2010.

This is not only a sacred day for Americans, but also the final day of the Muslim holy month, Ramadan. Rev. Jones is doing this in the name of Jesus Christ to defame the Islamic faith.

This puts Christians, like myself, in a very difficult situation. As a Christian, this is simply another shot at our faith. Generalizations are made about us Christians constantly. We are marked as white supremacists, hating the homosexual community, and aligning as staunch Republicans. On top of that, because we believe in a God,

we are viewed as being closeminded, ignorant people who pay no attention to scientific fact. Just this morning, someone conf ronted me about a column I wrote for the NT Daily yesterday morning, in which they said that my columns revolving around Christianity are trash and should not be posted in a secular newspaper. All of these assumptions are made about Christians, and it is hard for me to say that I do not deserve it. When we have the fringes of our faith acting like poisonous vipers, it is no wonder that people view Christianity with hatred.

On the other hand, I feel conf licted by the community. I do not waiver in my beliefs that through Christ alone are our sins forgiven, and through Christ alone may we receive eternal happiness.

So, what is the “Christian” view on this current event? I

like to look at what the Bible says in times when I feel most conflicted.

A cornerstone verse you will constantly come in contact with, whether it be on a coffee cup or bumper sticker is John 13:34. “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” As Christians, we are called to a higher level of responsibility. It isn’t a legalistic list of things we must do, but it’s a new way of life. We are marked in our faith if we are constantly showing the love that Christ showed us.

Burning a Quran brings no people to Christ, nor shows any type of respect. I can assure you that the Southern Baptists would be going wild if a mosque decided to start burning Bibles. Now that I think about it, didn’t the

Christian community just get upset because a mosque was being built in New York City?

Our calling in life is to glorify Jesus in all that we do.

Our goal in life should be to share the good news of Christ.

Instead of burning sacred books, let’s start sharing the good news.

Dear Mr. President, My name is Saad Nabeel and I am writing to you from Bangladesh. Prior to my arrival in this nation, I lived in the United States for 15 years. My parents brought me to America at age three. It is the only home I know. I was attending the University of Texas at Arlington with a full scholarship in electrical engineering. Through no fault of my own I was forced to leave my home, friends, possessions, and most importantly, my education behind.

Nov. 3, 2009 is a day I will never forget. My mother called me and told me that my father had been detained

by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and that we needed to leave immediately to Canada to seek refugee status.

Being an only child, I had to take care of my mother and go with her.

My mother and I were denied entrance into Canada and sent

back to the U.S. as if we were common criminals. I was separated from my mother and sent to a detention facility where I was forced to live with 60 other men, many of whom were hardened criminals. There was no privacy and I was forced to use the facilities and showers while fully exposed. I lived in constant fear of abuse. I was without food for upwards of 14 hours a day and received little to no medical attention.

When I asked for legal counsel, I was threatened with criminal charges and jail time in a federal penitentiary. To this day I still have nightmares about being detained. Everything my parents taught me about human decency was replaced with humiliation. Mr. President, I hope you are as outraged as I am hurt by this ordeal.

In Bangladesh I am now suffering through power outages nine hours a day with temperatures well above 100

degrees Fahrenheit. The pollution in the air makes me sick and I get food poisoning every week from the poor quality of food here. Raw sewage flows in open drains right outside of our apartment. I see people outside with mangled bodies dying on the street because of the heat and starvation. I see mothers practically giving their children away because they are unable to feed them.

I do not know the language and I fear going outside because I am different from everyone else. Speaking in English is an easy way to be targeted here. We cannot afford to live in a safer area. I have not left the apartment for eight months now because I simply have nowhere to go and nothing to do. I cannot even attend school due to the language barrier. I do not know anyone in Bangladesh. I have never seen this place.

On top of all this, my parents are both ill and have been for

months. My father suffers severe asthma attacks that make him bedridden on most days. My mother has post-traumatic stress and cannot accept the fact that she is not at our home in Texas.

These events transpired after we were approved for our I-130 to receive our green cards. Our permanent residency is now available in the U.S. but because ICE forced my family to sign 10-year bars, we are unable to go home. We have been waiting for our green cards for 15 years now.

Mr. President, you are the most powerful man in the world, all I ask from you is to bring me home. All I ever wanted was an education so I could become an engineer.

I just want to go home and go back to college. Please don’t have me exiled any longer.

Please bring me home.

Sincerely, Saad Nabeel

What is your opinion on the mosque at ground zero?

“I think it’s great. The only reason people are mad is because the right wing hasn’t been giving all the facts about it. It’s really a big community center with a mosque inside and an interfaith chapel.”
