Fry development draws public input, interest Fry Street petition stalled BY JOSH PHERIGO Assigning Editor

Despite collecting more than 700 student and resident signatures since mid-February, a petition to turn a 4.6-acre section of the Fry Street Overlay District into a public park will likely never make it to a public vote, according to city officials. The proposal, which has yet to be submitted to the city secretary’s office, would seek to force the city to acquire the mostly vacant block bordering Hickory, Welch, Oak and Fry streets and prevent the construction of a City Council-approved retail and living complex, petition organizer Bob Clifton said. “The reason we decided to turn it into a park is because the two proposals that have been presented suck,” he said. Clifton, a long-time Denton resident and former business owner, said once the petition is turned in to the city secretary and enough of the required signatures — around 800 — are verified, the Council will be forced to vote on the proposal. He said if it votes it down, the issue would then be slated for the next general election. But Denton Mayor Mark Burroughs said the petition is irrelevant. Citing the city charter, Burroughs explained that no petition could force the city government to either raise taxes or spend money. This petition, he said, would do just that. Clifton, however, maintains that the wording in the proposal does not specifically mandate that the city spend anything. “It would force the city to acquire the block by what-

ever means necessary,” Clifton said. “We have not told the City Council t o s p end money.We’ve told them to BOB acquire it. CLIFTON We don’t care how.” Clifton said the city has several v i a b l e options for obta i n i ng t he la nd : MARK purchasing BURROUGH t he l a nd from the current owner, trading the property for other cityowned land or condemning the property. Burroughs refuted each option, saying they would all require the city to spend money. “The bottom line is none of those options are financially viable for the city,” Burroughs said. “We would be talking very expensive property, and the city doesn’t have the budget for that. Condemnation requires that the land be closed for a public purpose. Park land is not something you can just condemn.” Clifton said the petition will continue and he hopes to have it verified and submitted by the end of the month. “It’s gone on long enough, and it’s time to drop it in their laps,” Clifton said. The Facebook group Save Fry Street has more than 300 members and displays a student artist’s rendering of what a Fry Street park might look like.

The Denton-based band Leatherwood was among the groups that performed during Tomatopalooza Saturday at Dan’s Silverleaf. The fundraiser was organized by former employees and owners of The Tomato pizza in an effort to bring the restaurant back to Fry Street.

Restaurant owners, managers try to bring back Tomato BY AUTUMN R EYNOLDS Contributing Writer

Students may see the return of an iconic Denton staple in 2012: The Tomato. The owners and three past managers of The Tomato had their first event Saturday in an effort to raise money for the re-establishment of the restaurant near the UNT campus. “You have to have money to make money,” said Becky Slusarski, who owns the business along with her husband, Robert “Ski” Slusarski. The f undra ising event, Tomatopalooza, was at Dan’s Silverleaf and Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios with a $10 charge at both venues. More than 150 people attended the event. Local bands played for the fundraiser, including Hennessey, Ella Minnow, The Heelers, Leatherwood, Shelby and Crew, and Demigods. They sold T-shirts, posters and Tomato memorabilia, including a chair. The fundraiser was organized by the managers, who will also help the Slusarskis with the legwork of restarting and running the business, said Cindy Usrey,

one of the three managers. “We really want to reconnect with UNT and the student population,” she said. More than $750 was raised from the fundraiser after considering the cost of the venues, T-shirts and posters, Usrey said. They feel the fundraiser was successful, she said. The Tomato was on the corner of Hickory and Fry streets to the left of Cool Beans before an arsonist burned it down in June 2007. The business had been shut down before being burned, however. A Houston-based real estate company, United Equities Inc., bought the property, which forced the Slusarskis out of their building, Becky Slusarski said. Until recently, the idea of reopening had been on the backburner, Usrey said, because the Slusarskis had been working fulltime jobs. The managers and owners decided they needed to get the process going. If they didn’t, they were going to lose their name recognition, Usrey said. The amount of money needed to start up The Tomato depends

on what locations are available, the Slusarskis said. They are still keeping their options open. A pre-existing restaurant would be ideal and less expensive, Robert Slusarski said. The target open date for The Tomato is sometime in the fall of 2012, Usrey said. The Slusarskis don’t worry about Crooked Crust being a stiff competitor because there are all kinds of pizza places in the area. People like different kinds of pizza, Becky Slusarski said. Kelly Clymer, majority owner of Crooked Crust, is familiar with The Tomato’s history, respects its legend and doesn’t feel like it could be replaced by another business. Crooked Crust is more of a hitand-run-between-classes eatery, but The Tomato would be more of a hang-out restaurant, he said. “Our prices are attractive to college students,” he said. “We are strong as far as getting what you pay for.”

Josh Kitchens, a communication design senior who was raised in Denton, said he went to The Tomato about every week. It was an iconic place for Denton because it had a different atmosphere, he said. “I miss it,” he said. “I grew up with it and now it’s gone.” Usrey said The Tomato would change from what it used to be. The building will be the biggest difference because everything will be new, and the walls won’t be coated in nicotine and graffiti, Usrey said. The menu will also expand to include pasta and Italian sub sandwiches, Becky Slusarski said. What won’t change, however, is the pizza recipe or personalities of the employees, Usrey said. “We want to maintain our sassy wait staff,” Usrey said. The owners and managers are planning to do at least four major fundraisers in 2011, Usrey said. “We are not letting this die,” she said.

Fry Street development attracts attention from businesses BY A DAM BLAYLOCK & LORYN THOMPSON Staff Writer & Intern

Businesses are lining up to fill the retail spaces in the Fry Street development project before the opportunity has become available. The 4.3-acre lot surrounding Cool Beans Bar and Restaurant on the corner of Fry and Hickory streets was approved in July to be developed by the Dinerstein Compa n ies. Si nce t hen, Dinerstein has been working on finalizing plans to add an apartment complex, retail space and a parking garage to the vacant lot. Dinerstein Companies hired Alex Payne, the president of Axis Realty Group, to promote the rental of the final retail units. “My understanding is that Dinerstein hasn’t officially closed on the property yet,” Payne said. After Dinerstein officially closes, signs will be put on the property with contact information for those interested in renting the available spaces, he said. Although the process of promoting the space hasn’t offi-

cially begun, Axis Realty has seen some interest from businesses wanting to rent the spaces when they become available. “As of right now, I’ve personally talked to a few [businesses] that have been looking,” Payne said. The project is expected to break ground in February or March of 2011, Payne said. The apartments should be ready for residents by that August, he said, and the retail spaces may open around the same time. Josh Vasbinder, vice president of the Dinerstein Companies, estimated that the area would provide about 194 units and 10,500 square feet of retail space. He did not have numbers for the rental costs of apartments and retail space. The total square footage and number of units available are also not final, Vasbinder said. A parking garage with about 665 stalls is in the plans, he said. The rental prices for the apartments and retail space after the project is finished is a matter that Vasbinder wouldn’t speculate on. “Our [prices] will be very much in line with where the

market is,” he said. Payne gave an estimate of the monthly retail costs to businesses that would want to rent the space. “Retail space will probably be in the $30-per-square-foot range,” Payne said. Blessing Ananti, a pre-biology sophomore, thought the project might make the street a more pleasant place to visit. “Fry Street just seems like the drunken place to go,” Ananti said. “If it were nicer, I’d go there to hang out with friends in my free time and in-between classes.” Among the businesses interested in renting space in the development is The Tomato, Payne said. The Tomato, a local pizza restaurant that was on the corner of Fry and Hickory streets on the same property, has been closed since 2007. It burned to the ground because of arson in June of that year. To maintain the privacy of potential clients, Payne would not disclose the names of any other businesses, but he did talk about the types that have approached him. “The primary interest has been

from restaurants,” he said. A sandwich shop and a 24-hour breakfast restaurant were two of the interests he mentioned. Dinerstein will make the ultimate decision of who is allowed to rent the space, Payne said. “It’s not my choice [to select businesses],” Payne said. Vasbinder said a number of factors would affect the final selection, including prospective businesses’ financial backing and the saturation of individual types of businesses already in the area. “I don’t think you can just put [businesses] into two columns,” Vasbinder said about the choice between local and commercial interests. The Dinerstein Companies previously promised the community to do their best to fill the retail space with local business interests. However, it may not be reasonable to expect every unit to have a local business in the end, Vasbinder said. “There may not be enough moms-and-pops to fill the 10,000 square feet of retail,” Vasbinder said.

Austin City Limits music festival takes over Austin BY JESSICA PAUL

Contributing Writer Thousands of people flocked to Zilker Park in Austin this weekend for the legendar y Aust in Cit y L im its Music Festival. With a wide array of bands ranging from The Eagles to Yeasayer, music enthusiasts were sure to find something appealing for their taste.

Annual music fans Brittany Eargle and Meghan Hammack, students at Austin Community College, said they attend ACL every year and saw several bands including The Strokes, Manchester Orchestra, Vampire Weekend and Charlie Mars. “It’s been really fun; There’s a lot of people,” Eargle said. “We go every year usually. Saturday’s usually the most crowded but it’s worth it.” With five bands encompassing the park, this year’s headliners included The Eagles, Muse and The Strokes, all of which drew immense crowds. College-aged students were found at every stage and Eargle said the lineup is the reason why young adults are drawn to the weekend-long event. “I think it’s mostly because the music played is what college kids usually listen to,” Eargle said. “Yeah, they do advertise to older people too with the head-

Perspective from the West Coast Local Natives, a Los Angelesbased band, played Sunday afternoon and guitarist Ryan Hahn said the group has been on tour for about a year and

a half. “We love playing live. I feel like it’s where our band’s at its best,” Hahn said. The band’s debut album, “Gorilla Manor,” was released in February. This year’s tour has given the band “no complaints” other than the fact that the band can be exhausted after shows, Hahn said. “It’s pretty surreal,” he said. “We’ve been a band for a really long time, so just having this one year where things just

seemed to speed up and just grow so fast was really cool.”

Zeta Tau Alpha girls Think Pink BY SHANNON MOFFATT Intern

This month, the women of the Gamma Phi chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha sorority continue their long-time partnership with the Susan G. Komen Foundation to raise awareness and money for the fight against breast cancer. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Zeta Tau Alpha chose the week of Oct. 4-8 as Think Pink Week to have fun raising money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation, said psychology senior Whitney Lee, a Zeta Tau Alpha member and the sorority’s historian reporter. “When people see that you’re involved and passionate about it, [it] makes them want to be more passionate about it,” Lee said. The sorority set up tables outside the University Union to promote breast cancer awareness and education by passing out pink ribbons and shower cards for women to examine themselves for cancer. On Wednesday, the sorority held a yogurt-eating contest.

Through out the day, the women gathered five students at a time walking through campus to compete in yogurt-eating contests. They later donated the yogurt lids to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. “It’s great that the sorority is doing this,” said Darian Gore, a music freshman. “I think it’s really important for women to support other women in the fight for breast cancer.” The sorority also held a Best Chest Contest. Different fraternities on campus volunteered one of their members as their “best chest.” Then sorority members painted pink ribbons on their chests and people donated money to whom they thought had the best chest. The winning fraternity won dinner cooked by the women, said Amber Sweat, a chemistry senior and fundraising chair of Zeta Tau Alpha. Last year, the Best Chest Contest alone raised $1,000 for the sorority’s cause, Lee said. This year, the contest raised more than $600, Sweat said. At Friday’s football game, the

sorority wore pink and encouraged the football team and fans to wear pink too. They also had an information booth set up, Lee said. For $10, people could buy a “Think Pink” T-shirt. Since her aunt is a breast cancer survivor, the subject is very close to her heart, Lee said. Many students feel the same way. “A lot of people have personal stories,” she said. “People come up to me and say ‘My mom’s a survivor, my aunt’s a survivor.’ It affects a lot of people, both men and women.” On Saturday, the Zeta women will run and volunteer at the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure at North Park Center in Dallas. T he Su sa n G. Komen Foundation has been the sorority’s national philanthropy since 1992, Lee said. Nationally, Zeta Tau Alpha has donated more than $2 million to Race for the Cure since 1992, Sweat said. On Oct. 23, sorority members will host their 17th annual golf tournament benefiting the Susan G. Komen Foundation at Bridlewood Golf Club in Flower Mound, Sweat said. The sorority’s goal is to raise $10,000 by the end of the month, Lee said. “It’s great knowing that we’re raising money for a good cause,” Lee said. “It takes a lot of time but it’s worth it in the end.”

Students, families run 5K for scholarships BY JESSICA DETIBERIIS Intern

Fort y-eight volunteers pa r t ic ipated i n t he 5K Family Weekend Fun Run at 7 a.m. on Saturday. The run contributed $480 to the UNT scholarship fund. For $10, students a nd their families could walk or run a one-mile or threemile course. Tickets toward the scholarship fund have

been sold since June at orientations and parent events, as well as throughout the day Saturday and at the tailgate event before t he footba l l game. Me l i s s a Mc G u i r e , t h e director of New Student and Student Success Programs, said the tradition of the Family Fun Run began two years ago, and has been successful year after year. “We generally have around 75 participants in the run,” McGuire said. “At $10 a ticket, that’s $750. All of that money goes toward the draw for a tuition scholarship for the spring.” T he r u n took place on campus, with both courses starting and ending at the Pohl Recreation Center. The shorter of the two courses circled the Physical Education Building a nd Chilton a nd Chestnut halls. The 5K, approximately 3.1 miles, ran between Hickory and Highland streets along the perimeter of the campus. The last of the volunteers finished the 5K in about 40 minutes. Psychology sophomore Roger Martin finished first in 17 minutes. Applied gerontolog y f resh ma n A na l i Gra nados

finished first of the female participants in 20 minutes and 46 seconds. “I ju s t lov e r u n n i ng ,” Gr a nados s a id, re c a l l i ng her high school years on her school’s t rack tea m. “I’ve never run a 5K before.

Runners’ na mes were a lso put into t he d raw for a semester’s tuition. One winner was selected randomly from t he tickets during halftime at the footba ll ga me Saturday night. The winner, music freshman Daniel Perez, will receive one semester’s worth of in-state tuition for as many as 15 credit hours, to be used in spring 2011. Overa ll, it seems t he 5K Fun Run was a success, said Stephanie Lee, the student ser v ices coord i nator a nd coach for Family Weekend. “I think it went great,” Lee said. “We were very impressed w it h t he abi l it ies of ou r runners and we had a lot of fun.”

Swimming, diving seeks improvement after opener B Y R AEGAN POOL Staff Writer

The Mea n Green sw imming and diving team came away from the Fourth Annual North Texas Relays with a fourth-place finish on Friday in Mansfield before a home meet split against Arkansas and Tulane on Saturday. The team finished fourth out of five teams at Friday’s meet and suffered an 88-point deficit to nationally ranked Arkansas before speeding past Tulane for a dual meet victory. “As a team, I thought we were okay. We weren’t great, but we weren’t by [any] means bad,” head coach Joe Dykstra said. “We were very solid. In a lot of ways, we were better than we were at the same meets a year ago as a team, which is always our standard of performance. I’m pleased in that regard.”

Friday The Mean Green finished the meet behind Southern Methodist University, Arkansas and Texas Christian University. Tulane University followed UNT in fifth place. The returners performed well, while the freshmen still have some adjusting to do, Dykstra said. “Freshmen — they struggled a litt le bit t his past weekend w it h t ra nslat ing workout performance into race performance,” he said. “I have no doubt it’s going to come

through the year, but they have some learning to do.” Key assets, returning juniors Rosa Gent i le a nd Hi lia r y Riedmann and senior Erika Roach, contributed greatly to the relay teams, scoring major points for UNT. Gentile competed in five races on Friday and did well on all five of them, Dykstra said. The Mean Green 3x100yard backstroke relay team finished second in less than five seconds behind Arkansas, which is ranked in the top 15 schools of the nation, with a time of 2:56.15.

Saturday UNT hosted its first dual meets of the season Saturday morning against Arkansas and Tulane. The Mean Green lost to Arkansas (163-75), while pulling off its first win of the season in front of Tulane (140102). “I think we did well, but we still have room for improvement,” senior captain Rosita Bado said. “We’re really tired right now, so it’s kind of like a mental toughness. I think right now he wants us to work on more than winning everything.” Gentile contributed major points to the team in all three events in which she competed. In the 200-yard individual medley, she finished third place in 2:08.37 behind first and

She also took third place in the 100-yard free relay and helped the 200-yard free relay team finish in second place behind Tulane in 2:30.51. “[Gentile] did a great job,” Dykstra said. “She far and away scored more points than anybody else on the team this weekend.”

Divers Del ia Covo a nd Rebecca Taylor scored the mentionable points as well. Covo finished fourth with 234.95 points in the one-meter behind Arkansas, which took all top three spots. Freshman Rebecca Taylor finished third in the three-meter with 254.0 points to win the second-best mark in school history.

“[Taylor] surpassed all our expectations on the boards this past weekend, and I think it’s the start of what’s going to be a great career for her,” Dykstra said. The Mean Green will train for its upcoming meets against New Mexico State on Oct. 22 in Las Cruces, N.M. and SMU on Oct. 23 in Denton.

“This is going to be a big training week for us. Hopefully we’ll be done with our spell of bronchitis. I think we had seven girls with bronchitis over the last couple of weeks,” Dykstra said. “Hopefully, we’ve finished cycling through that and can keep everyone in the water and train hard every day this week.”

Road-weekend sweep elevates soccer in standings BY SEAN GORMAN Senior Staff Writer

The UNT soccer team picked up its first road conference victories in wins at Troy and South Alabama this weaekend. After defeating the Trojans (8-4-1, 3-3-0) 3-1 and cruising to

a 2-0 win over the Jaguars (4-10-2, 2-4-0) the Mean Green (9-5-1, 4-2-0) climbed from sixth to third place in the Sun Belt Conference standings. “We feel like we can beat anyone at home, so any time we can pick up a conference

win on the road it’s huge,” head coach John Hedlund said. “Our depth was really on display this weekend, there was a bunch of our players who stepped up.” Dominating Sun Belt competition recently, UNT has won four straight by two goals or more.

Friday UNT used two goals from junior midfielder Julie Lackey and solid defense to roll over the Trojans while notching the team’s first conference win away from home. An unassisted goal by Lackey got things going in the 15th minute. “I’m just trying to do whatever I can to help the team win,” Lackey said. “Whether that means passing, playing defense or scoring, I’ll do my best to contribute.” Insurance came 12 minutes later when junior forward Nikki Crocco added her third goal of the season off of sophomore for wa rd Michel le You ng’s second assist this year. Lackey scored her teamleading eighth goal of the year in the 71st minute off an assist from sophomore Ellen Scarfone. It was Scarfone’s team-leading seventh assist this season. Troy scored a late goal to cut the deficit to two, but didn’t have time to stage a comeback. Outshooting the Trojans 9-4, UNT had twice as many corner kicks as the Trojans, owning six to Troy’s three. “We did a great job on offense

staying aggressive and giving Sunday ourselves chances to score,” The Mean Green relied on the Young said. “That’s when we positive momentum from Friday’s are at our best.” win to secure its fourth straight win over the Jaguars. Freshman midfielder Kelsey Hodges helped UNT get ahead early, scoring in the fourth minute off Young’s second assist of the weekend. Young now has a goal or assist in every game during the winning streak. Scarfone continued to play well, scoring her fifth goal of the season in the game’s 54th minute. The sophomore is tied with Lackey for most points on the team with 17. “Ellen has one of the most powerful shots on this team,” Hedlund said. “I constantly tell her to shoot because she’s capable of becoming a great scorer.” The UNT defense kept the Jaguars in check as senior goalkeeper Mandy Hall put together her fifth complete-game shutout of the season. The Mean Green returns home to host second-place Florida International on Friday at 6 p.m. and Florida Atlantic on Sunday purchases with I.D at 1 p.m. at North Texas Soccer Expires 10-31-10 Field.

Depleted Mean Green suffers close loss at home BY BEN BABY

Senior Staff Writer After falling behind 14-3, the Mean Green fought its way back into a winnable position. However, it was not able to make enough plays in the end to come away with the victory. The same plotline has played out over the last few years, with the story usually ending in a UNT loss. This time, the Arkansas State Red Wolves played the antagonist, handing the Mean Green a 24-19 loss. Junior quarterback Chase Baine was limited, completing nine of 17 passes for 77 yards. The Lake Dallas High School standout was far more productive on the ground, racking up 80 yards on 13 carries for UNT (1-5, 1-2). Baine started in place of injured redshirt sophomore quarterback Riley Dodge, who suffered a broken left wrist last week against LouisianaLafayette. “Nobody expects these kinds

of things to happen,” junior defensive end Brandon Akpunku said. “We’ve gone through the most this season, and I feel like Chase really stepped up to the plate and played his heart out for us.” The game started poorly for the Mean Green when junior wide receiver Jamaal Jackson fumbled the ball on the first play from scrimmage, giving Arkansas State (2-4, 2-2) the ball and a short field. The Red Wolves capitalized, putting together a six-play, 21-yard drive that was capped by a 13-yard touchdown run by quarterback Ryan Aplin. UNT found itself in a hole early on, a position it has become familiar with this season. The Mean Green has allowed a touchdown on each of its opponents’ opening drives, and has been outscored a combined 58-17 in the first quarter. UNT was able to move the ball consistently, but it did not maximize its time in scoring

position. Freshman kicker Zach Olen had an outstanding debut, going 4-for-4 on field goal attempts. “My teammates have just been encouraging me,” Olen said. “I fed on that and used that to make kicks.” Defensively, UNT did a good job of containing the explosive Red Wolves offense. ASU came into Saturday’s matchup averaging 289.4 yards per game, but Ryan Aplin was held to 169 yards and one touchdown. Junior running back Lance Dunbar proved to be the main weapon for the Mean Green against an Arkansas State defense that allows the most total yards in the Sun Belt. Dunbar carried the ball 30 times for 105 yards and one touchdown run. UNT was without junior running back James Hamilton and junior wide receiver Tyler St radford, t wo addit iona l weapons who missed the game along with a slew of other casualties to the green plague.

One man isn’t enough as junior running back Lance Dunbar gets carried away by Arkansas State players early in the game. UNT dropped to a 1-5 record after Saturday night’s loss. “I’m not going to lie. It hurts, but I definitely feel like we still have the people in the room to get the job done,” Baine said. “We proved it that we can get it done. We just need to stop the

foolish mistakes.” In the Todd Dodge era, UNT has gone 1-11 in games decided by seven points or less. Despite the injury, it will try to bring its two-game losing streak to

a halt this weekend when it faces Florida International. “What’s happened to us is not an excuse, but we’re almost going to have to play a perfect game,” Dodge said.

Friday The defending Sun Belt champion Red Wolves (9-9, 3-3) let UNT take the first set before taking command of the second, third and fourth to win in comeback fashion 3-1 (25-18, 19-25, 20-25, 21-25). UNT had a powerful .462 hitting percentage in the first set while senior outside hitter Amy Huddleston had five-straight kills and three aces.

A weekend split wasn’t enough to steal the Sun Belt West division lead from the UNT volleyball team. The Mean Green (12-9, 4-2) lost its first home match to Arkansas State on Friday, but retaliated on Sunday with a quick sweep over the University of ArkansasLittle Rock at the Mean Green Volleyball Center. “We couldn’t find an answer [against Arkansas State],” head coach Ken Murczek said. “It was real disappointing, but I felt we rebounded pretty well on Sunday.”

to top UNT’s .176. “Amy’s five aces gave us a lot of points so we didn’t need to receive-serve as much,” Murczek said. “They increased the service pressure and we definitely did not respond.” Huddleston finished the match with 10 kills and five aces. Junior defensive specialist Sarah Willey provided 23 digs and junior setter Kayla Saey had 37 assists. The Red Wolves out-killed the Mean Green 51-44.

Sunday Sophomore middle blocker Rachelle Wilson shined with a match-high 13 kills, leading the

me i t t

Mean Green to a quick 3-0 (25-14, 25-19, 25-21) sweep over UALR (2-14, 0-6). Murczek said UALR has talented players, but attributed Denver’s woes to losing its setter right before the season began. “If we lost Kayla, we would be in a really bad place, too,” he said. Saey’s match-high 41 assists lifted UNT to an even .300 hitting percentage and 46 kills in the match, trumping the Trojans’ .046 hitting and 23 kills. UALR was the ninth opponent held to under a .100 hitting percentage by the Mean Green defense this season. The success can be attributed to Willey’s match-high 19 digs. Willey averaged six per set to earn her second Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Week award. “On Friday we lost focus of what we had to do on our side of the net as a team to be successful,” senior outside hitter Brittani Youman said. “We capitalized on that, which is what gave us success.”

Coverage of tragedy applauded

Schools invading students’ privacy Editorial The Spring and Santa Fe independent school districts in Houston have added radio-frequency transmitters to students’ ID cards. The districts are reportedly using the tracking information to improve school security, cut down on truancy and prevent children from going missing. The school districts insist they are only monitoring students when they are on campus, but a system like this leaves open a potentially frightening “Big Brother is watching you” scenario—something like a reallife rendition of George Orwell’s “1984” in which the government monitors every minute of its citizens’ lives. Parents of students in the school districts are concerned that schools have the ability to monitor students’ whereabouts at all times— especially if they carry the ID in their wallets —and leaves open endless possibilities of misuse. The Editorial Board believes that although high school students are minors, tracking student activity via radio frequencies is scary and a blatant, obvious invasion of constitutional rights to privacy. Spring ISD, which has used the technology off and on since 2004 to monitor when students get on and off of buses, now use the badges to monitor students who were counted absent, find them and get them back in class. In Texas, funding to districts is reliant upon attendance and Spring ISD reports they’ve recovered $194,000 since instituting the use of these ID badges. It seems the school districts are using these badges to increase the bottom line, and not actually for safety and education. School districts have already been invading privacy — in February of this year, the Lower Merion School District in Philadelphia, Penn. distributed Macintosh laptops to 2,300 students and after laptops went missing, technology coordinator Carol Cafierro and technician Michael Perbix activated the webcams on the laptops to take pictures of the students who had the missing laptops in their possession. These webcams took photos every 15 seconds without the students’ knowledge. In addition, the school mixed up students’ names and activated the wrong laptop webcams. According to lawyers, “thousands of webcam pictures and screenshots of IM conversations have been taken of the boys partially undressed and sleeping in their beds.” The public should not have to worry about being surveilled by their IDs, cell phones or computers. It is an unnecessary, direct invasion of privacy. It is quite possible for school officials to abuse this invasive technology in the same fashion the webcams on the Macintosh computers were used. Until the public regains an understanding of the constitutional right of privacy, we are only inching closer to that horrible dystopian reality from “1984.”

I want to applaud the NT Daily for the front page story they ran about Josh Rake last Tuesday. The article was informative and very respectfully illuminated the cut-too-short life of Josh Rake (for those of you who didn’t catch the front page of Tuesday’s paper, he was a football player who lost his life last week due to a car accident). If I had one critique however, it would not be toward the NT Daily. It would be aimed at the students, faculty and staff at the University of North Texas. Every person on campus has at least one thing in common with the person next to them— they are all a part of the UNT communit y. Wait, scratch that, they have two things in common. They are not only UNTers, but they are also human beings. At one point in our lives we have or will experience the loss of a very special person. It is a terrible heartbreak to experience because

that person is not only leaving your life for the time being, they are leaving the human world forever. Even though I have lost people close to me, I cannot imagine the pain I would be going through if I had lost a teammate, a best friend or a brother. Oddly enough, if it weren’t for the NT Daily, I would never have even thought about losing a teammate, best friend or brother. Not one person who I have interacted with in the past two days, professor and student alike, has mentioned that a UNT student died Friday afternoon. I didn’t know Josh Rake or anyone on the football team, and have never even stepped foot in Fouts Field for that matter. What I do know is that a prominent, involved young member of the UNT community died and I had to read about it in the UNT paper four

days later to find out. Word of mouth is the fastest way to spread information and with a majority of the UNT community on Facebook why was this not spread throughout the community sooner? Other universities hold candle light vigils, prayer services and counseling sessions when a student in their community dies. A few weeks ago when there was a shooter on the UT-Austin campus, within three hours of the shooting, a notice from the UNT president was sent out to all the “university family to express support to members of the UT community.” I want to know where the support is from the UNT family when one of our own dies tragically. I don’t know what the statistics are about students dying each year, but I do know that whether or not I knew this person, they were a part of this community and therefore connected to me.

What does it mean when a person says “I attend the University of North Texas”? It probably means I am a student here. I attend class, study, have tests, see friends occasionally and maybe wear green on Fridays (but only if I get extra credit in class, of course). Why can’t it mean “I bleed Mean Green, I know my university community and I know I have a support group of 36,000 strong.” I’m sure the Rake family as well as all who knew Josh would welcome this support in this difficult time of their lives. I think it’s only fitting to use the phrase President Rawlins did when referring to the UT Austin shooting and the safety of the UNT community. “Please, take care of yourselves and each other.”

When Jonathan Irish and Stephanie Janvrin found out they were expecting a little girl, they couldn’t wait. A friend of theirs even remarked that they had saved up pennies for the arrival of their new daughter, Cheyenne. Stephanie was ecstatic the day the baby was born and Jonathan wasn’t much different. But behind t hat ca ring father exterior, Jonathan Irish had a dark side, an interest in something so offensive it’s hardly fathomable. Now I am aware there are many offensive things out there in the world, but the interest of Jonathan Irish is so reprehensible I would advise the faint-hearted to quit reading. For those of you still with me, I suppose you’re strong enough to hear me come out and say what Jonathan Irish’s interest was — the U.S. Constitution.

I know: Take it in, drink some water and sit down. It gets worse. Apparently, this new father not only had an interest in the Constitution, but was also a member of Oath Keepers, a group that claims to care for our troops and veterans and thanks them for defending the Constitution. Of course, according to the government, we all know deep down inside that they’re really just evil. But not to panic, because our glorious United States government has shown this villain Jonathan Irish and his fiancee exactly who’s the boss. Within a few hours of baby Cheyenne’s birth, two of our noble departments, the Department of Health and Human Services and the Division for Children, Youth, and Families came in and took the child away f rom t he se me dd le some Constitution-loving radicals.

The affidavit read in part, “… the Division became aware and confirmed that Mr. Irish associated with a militia known as the ‘Oath Keepers’…” Now there hasn’t been any evidence found t hat suggests Oat h Keepers is a militia and while their website states they are not one, we obviously know by intuition that they’re evil and our glorious government did a wonderful job in being proactive. Fel low comrades, when will we all finally understand that the Constitution is irrelevant today? Why have rights to free speech, privacy and protest when we can have a caring state to hug, nurture, and yes, at times discipline us as a caring father would his children? May this couple learn their lesson, and find peace in the fact that now the federal government is raising their

child better than they could’ve ever hoped. As for Oath Keepers, you’re hiding evidence that you’re a militia pretty well, but I’ve got my eye on you. As for you ,reader, I ask: is your neighbor an Oath Keeper?

Do you feel schools invade privacy?

“No, I don’t think high school invades privacy because I never had anyone in high school invade my privacy.”

William Dutton History freshman

“Yes, going through detectors and going through your backpacks is invasions of privacy, even if it’s for security reasons.”

“No. I think it depends on the district policy, as long as there is a safe and welcoming environment for the students.”
