Chain restaurants may be rewriting their menus as the Food and Drug Administration proposes new regulation that would require chain restaurants and vending machines to have calorie count information on their menus and products. The new FDA rules would require restaurants and vending machine operators with 20 or more locations to post the calorie count information on items, menus and menu boards, allowing consumers to see exactly how many calories they are consuming when they eat out. Places that do not primarily serve food, like movie theaters, are exempt from these new regulations. “This is actually part of a larger bill the health care act mandated to Congress,” said Michael Herndon, the deputy director of strategy for the FDA’s Office of Public Affairs. “FDA was asked to come up with rules, regulations, proposed rules for menus and vending machine nutritional labeling, which is a part of the overall act.”
Ann Afflerbach of the UNT hospitality and management faculty likes the idea of calorie information being available on menus and vending machines for people to see. “I think it’s good because customers can see what they’re consuming,” Afflerbach said.

Hands-free faucets harbor bacteria BY MEGAN R ADKE Intern
A recent study out of Johns Hopkins Hospital found that hands-free faucets could harbor more bacteria than the old-fashioned ones. The results of the study were presented April 2 when the society for Health Care Epidemiology of America met in Dallas for its annual four-day conference. Although the hands-free, automatic faucets can help conserve water, researchers said, the faucets have a more complicated valve system that is harder to keep clean. Researchers found the faucets contained the bacteria Legionella, which can lead to Legionellosis or Legionaire’s Disease — an infection caused by the inhalation of infected water droplets. Legionella is typically found in cool, wet conditions, like those found in standing water, cooling towers, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. Michael Allen of the biology faculty cautioned that the study — conducted exclusively within Johns Hopkins Hospital — may not prove that all automatic faucets harbor these bacteria, adding that changes such as replacing plastic piping with

A new era in Mean Green women’s basketball began Tuesday when Athletic Director Rick Villarreal a n nou nc e d the hiring of Karen Aston as the program’s si x t h head coach at a press conference. KAREN A s t o n ASTON brings 17 years of coaching experience to UNT and will replace former head coach Shanice Stephens, who was fired March 17. She’ll be tasked with trying to turn around a team than went 5-25 last season, and won nine games the season before. “All the pieces are there,” Aston said. “This isn’t a broken situation. It’s just one that maybe needs some leadership.” The Arkansas native served as an assistant coach with the Mean Green from 1996 until 1998 under Tina Slinker, the longest-tenured UNT women’s basketball coach in the school’s history at 19 years. Aston said she received a phone call of encouragement from Slinker after accepting the job. “People always ask ‘Why? Why’d you do this? Why’d you do that? Why North Texas?’” Aston said. “To be quite honest with you, I think the best answer I can give is ‘Why not?’” Aston spent the past four years as the head coach of the Charlotte 49ers women’s
basketball team. Aston won 86 games during her time with Charlotte, third most in the school’s history. She also set the single-season school record during the 2010-2011 season by winning 27 games. “First and foremost, we wanted somebody who was a leader,” Villarreal said. “Secondly, I wanted somebody with a great pedigree. It’s really hard to find somebody who’s had the kind of pedigree she has.” Charlotte made the postseason in each of Aston’s four seasons with the team, including a conference championship in 2009, an appearance in the 2011 WNIT Final Four and the school’s secondever NCA A Tournament berth. UNT hasn’t played in the WNIT since 2002 or NCAA Women’s Tournament since 1986, when the school was called North Texas State University. “My passion is about basketball and I’m very committed to being great in everything that we do,” Aston said. “There is an enormous amount of potential here at North Texas to be great.” A ston resig ned f rom Charlotte on April 6 before accepting the position with the Mean Green, where she said she plans to stay a long time. “I don’t plan on telling any young women that I’m leaving again, [because] that was the most difficult thing I’ve ever done,” she said. “I’m not afraid of a challenge. I’m OK to roll up my sleeves and go to work.”
Hispanic students now majority in Texas BY DREW GAINES Senior Staff Writer
For the first time in Texas’ history, Hispanics now account for more than half of the students attending the state’s public schools. Texas public schools are diversifying at a faster rate than in any other state and Hispanics are driving the change. Statistics from the 2010-2011 school year show the group accounted for 50.2 percent of the nearly 5 million students enrolled in grades K-12. “It is one of those things that obviously schools can see on a daily basis and state demographers have tracked for years. They say it will continue to grow,” said Suzanne Marchman, a spokeswoman for the Texas Education Agency. Schools experienced an increase in enrollment by minority groups across the board this school year, but it was the 2.5 million Hispanic students that attained the majority milestone. Much of the group’s growth was concentrated in the early high school grades and elementary school. But there are more than 130,000 Hispanic high school seniors in the class of 2011. However, Texas colleges show Hispanic enrollment is lagging as their numbers grow in public schools. In 2007, 42.5 percent of
Hispanic high school graduates went on to college or trade school compared to 45.3 percent of black high school graduates and 57.5 percent of white high school graduates, according to the TEA.
“They say it will continue to grow.”
—Suzanne Marchman, Spokeswoman for the Texas Education Agency
Thoug h t hese numbers have improved and continue to improve slightly, educators fear that legislative budget cuts to public schools will dampen the resources available to minority students at a time when their enrollment in grades K-12 is surging. “The issue is that some of these students need additional instruction in English literacy, but there is a need for funding to help support these ty pes of programs,” said Holly Eaton, the director of Professional Development and Advocacy and lobbyist for t he Tex a s Cla ssroom Teacher’s Associat ion, a n Au s t i n-ba s e d e duc at ion group representing 50,000 Texans.

Program teaches suicide prevention BY M ATTHEW CARDENAS Staff Writer
UNT is attempting to increase suicide awareness by encouraging students to attend free counseling ser vices offered through the Counseling and Testing Services. The course is called QPR, or Question, Persuade and Refer. Someone dealing with a suicidal person is supposed to ask questions about the situation, persuade him or her to get help and refer the person to a group or person who can help. T he t w o -hou r w orkshop started in 2007 thanks to a Substance Abuse and Ment a l Hea lt h Ser v ic e Administration grant. “Data col lected f rom the workshops say participants are more sensitive and aware of people with suicidal tendencies,” said Carolyn Kern of the counseling faculty. Kern said QPR is meant to help students, faculty and staff notice and know how to act when a person is showing signs of suicidal behavior or depression. “[QPR] is not just about suicide,” Kern said. “It can be about depression. The academic world can be overwhelming.” Counseling and Testing Services refers about three to eight students to mental health facilities each semester when the students are determined to be a danger to themselves or others. Kern said one of the major goals of QPR is to encourage people who are depressed or suicidal to ask for help. “We want to help decrease the stigma of reaching out and asking for help,” Kern said. “People need to feel okay saying, ‘Hey, I need some help.’” Kern said people who are concerned about a person could also contact the UNT CARE Team for help in a situation where a student’s

The CARE Team is an organization that students can send a request for a friend who may need help. The team meets and discusses whom they need to contact. The CARE Team started forma lly a year ago, said Marueen McGuiness, the dean of students . “There are six people on the team,” McGuiness said. “They meet once every two weeks.” McGu i ness sa id t he C ou n s el i ng a nd Te st i ng Ser vices has had 62 referrals this academic year. Last academic year, there were only 42 referrals. “Nationwide, the number of students in counseling is increasing,” McGuiness said. She said the reasons are unclear. “It could mean that we are
doing a better job at informing people,” McGuiness said. She also said it could mean there are more people who need help. Because of t hese rising numbers, QPR is required among residence assistants and hall directors. Maple resident hall assistant Franchesca Burrell said she believes people should attend the workshop, even if it is not required. “The information really sticks with you,” Burrell said. Burrell went to the workshop in spring of 2010 and said it was eye-opening. “I just learned it actually takes a lot to work with someone who is suicidal,” Burrell said. “You are not going to know when someone is going to be suicidal. That’s why RAs are encouraged to have close personal relationships with people on their hall.”

McDonald’s had to put healthier items on their menus like salads.” Many restaurants have been trying to add healthier foods to their menus to appeal to the more health conscious consumers. “[IHOP] has a simple and fit menu where all the foods have less than 600 calories,” Lenow said. T he genera l con sen su s among students and faculty is that the menu and vending machine labeling will be beneficial for people eating out. “This is impor ta nt be c au se we ne e d to get ou r nat ion’s hea lt h back on track,” A f f lerbach sa id. “Calorie counts are good [for consumers].” The FDA is encouraging input about the proposed regulations on their website www.regulations.gov.

Among the many academic programs likely facing budget cuts for the 2011-2013 school years are those that support English Language Learners, English as a Second Language (ESL) courses, and those that train ESL and ELL teachers. These programs are under the umbrella of state Senate and House Bills that may cut anywhere from $3 billion to $8 billion in funding to public education as legislators account for the state’s overall $25 billion budget shortfall. This would mean fewer text-
books and teachers, and bigger class sizes for English proficiency programs that typically cost more than standard courses. Already proposed are $50 million in cuts to teacher training academies for limited English proficiency students and $20 million to a single limited English proficiency program in public schools, Eaton said. There were 800,000 students — mostly Hispanic — enrolled in Texas public schools in 2010 who showed limited English proficiency, according to the TEA. Nearly all took part in a program like ESL, where enroll-
ment grew by 57 percent in the decade from 2000 to 2010. House Bill 1, which proposes $7.8 billion in cuts to public education, passed the House chamber April 3 and currently sits in the state Senate awaiting approva l. The bill would undercut Texas public education across the board and more so for the state’s Hispanic students. Also under scrutiny by state legislators are millions of dollars in federal and state higher education grants and financial aid that may be cut as a result of the budget deficit. Fourteen percent of UNT’s 36,000 students are Hispanic.

UNT K-9 wins Top Dog Students’ brand acts as form of self-expression, creativity
BY JUSTIN C URTIN
Contributing Writer The UNT K-9 unit won first prize, or “Top Dog,” at the Region 25 Competition in March. Cpl. Ricky Olivarez and his dog, Quint, gave a stellar performance, police said. The United States Police Canine Association certifies K-9 units from all over North Texas each year in pursuit of maintaining the most well trained police dogs. The dogs that perform best in each category win “Top Dog.” Quint and Olivarez won in the explosives category. “USPCA is the highestregarded certification program in the country,” said Cpl. Chris Turner. “It’s important that we perform well.” The USPCA event was hosted by the Wichita County Sheriff’s Office and ran from March 20 to March 26. Officers get called into court for questioning about searches performed by this special unit of the police. Without the certification, the incident in question can become legally conflicted, Turner said. The UNT police force see to it that its canines are also certified by the National Narcotic Detector Dog Association and the National Police Canine Association. With all of these credentials, little is left to say in court, Turner said. The UNT K-9 unit currently employs three canines that are full-bred Belgian Malinois. The dogs closely resemble German Shepherds in the face, but their

The other two dogs, Rex and Joy, are handled by Turner and Officer Bredger Thomason, respectively. Quint and Rex placed well in another category — patrol. Quint placed second while Rex placed third. UNT PD has participated in this event many times. “This was the first time we’ve used these dogs in competition,” Olivarez said. “We’re happy with the success.” The dogs serve with the police anywhere from six to eight years, depending on the health of the animal. Each handler is responsible for his assigned dog. The dogs go home
with the officers each night, and the officers take care of grooming, feeding and taking the animals to the vet, Turner said. “Once the canine is retired from service, it remains with its handler,” Turner said. “They remain part of our family, and normal pet owners could not handle these canines. The typical owner would only last minutes.” Coppell, Wichita Falls, Abi lene, Grapev i ne a nd Denton police departments also competed. “As the dogs gain experience, we will produce even better at the competition,” Olivarez said.

For years, a small, tight-knit group has come together to combine their creative ideals into tactile and non-tactile forms of art. Brandon McKeever, a digital retailing junior, is a contributing member to the group of guys who have spearheaded a brand dubbed Ill Ego. Since high school, McKeever said he and friends Caleb McEachern and Raylon Evans, both general studies juniors, shared an interest in expressing their creativity and originality. “It was a number of thoughts from everyone as friends. It was the ideas driven from the creative side of each of us,” McEachern said. McKeever said the name represents the idea that everyone should be the best version of themselves. Publicity before production Evans said before Ill Ego existed physically, it was being publ ic i z e d ele c t ron ic a l l y through mass media channels like Facebook, Twitter and even Ill Ego’s own personal website. “We had a huge blog following before we even had shirts,” McEachern said. McKeever said it wasn’t until the group earned enough money to turn the abstract brand into something more that they started with T-shirt production. On the job The faces of Ill Ego attend music events of Dallas-based artists and skate competitions to spread their name and ultimate mission.

General studies junior Raylon Evans shows off Ill Ego’s new graphic T-shirt. McKeever said they have videos and T-shirts, all stemming from self-expression and inspiration. Dawn Figueroa, the Texas Fashion Collection’s assistant curator and former Fine Arts Illustrator, likes the idea of young designers expressing their creativity and self-promotion. “I used to go to stores and beg them to buy and sell my designs,” Figueroa said. “Learning your craft out in the real world is a very different and important learning experience.”

Despite injury issues earlier in the season, the team now has a full, healthy roster. “It [the problem with injuries] left a mark and it’s still on our minds,” Paraschiv said. “But it’s the past — we just focus on every game.” UNT is two matches away from competing in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament, which goes on April 21through April 24. “We a re not g iv ing up,” Paraschiv said. “Winning this match gave us our confidence back.”
of issues, but still has plenty of time to right the ship and salvage the season. Coming off the best season DONNIE in Mean Green PIPES softball history, the team is missing two crucial x-factors from a year ago — consistent pitching and defense. The Mean Green lost its two top pitchers from last year, so a dip was to be expected. But to increase from a 2.35 ERA to a 3.68 ERA is a drastic change. Don’t get me wrong — the starting pitchers, Ashley Kirk and Brittany Simmons, have both had some fantastic games this year, but they have lacked the consistency the team needs. Kirk has pitched three shutouts
this season, but her 7-12 record makes it look like she’s had a bad year. Kirk has struck out nearly onethird of the batters she’s faced — 120 out of 376. On the other hand, Simmons has pitched 14 complete games in 19 starts and has allowed only 10 home runs in nearly 600 at-bats. If you do the math, it means less than 2 percent of batters she’s faced have hit a home run off her. So why is the team in this 6-16 funk since the first month of the season? It seems like when the bats show up, the pitching often doesn’t and vice versa. And when they both decide to not show up on the same night… well we’re back at square one — close games that end up in the ‘L’ column.
Pipes’ Gripes: Softball needs clutch factor and consistency Opinion BY DONNIE PIPES Staff Writer
After a promising start to the season, the Mean Green softball team has some serious soul searching to do. Over the course of this spring, UNT has lost 15 games decided by three or fewer runs, up from just 11 a year ago. And there are still 15 games to go. The lack of clutch performances is what has the team dragging at a time when it should be gearing up for post-season play at full speed. With the Sun Belt Conference Tournament a little less than a month away, UNT needs to focus on winning close games. The team has had its fair share

Opposing views on energy use Nods and Shakes Editorial
Nod: Texas sales tax revenue up almost 10 percent in a year Texas brought in $1.6 billion in sales tax, which could be a good sign about the state’s economy. Susan Combs, the Texas comptroller, said the tax revenue comes from a combination of consumer and business spending. She also said about $415 million of that will go to local city and county governments, public transit systems, and special tax districts. Denton and Denton County receive millions of dollars from the sales tax revenue share. People need to encourage their friends and family to spend money in Texas to help the state economy continue to climb out of its $25 billion rut and to benefit the Denton area, too. Shake: Breach leaves 3.5 million Texans exposed A state agency left 3.5 million people’s identities on a public computer server that anyone could access for at least a year. Just about everything an identity thief would need — social security numbers, addresses, names —was included in the information. The Texas comptroller’s office said it didn’t find any proof that the breach led to identity fraud. However, the Texas attorney general’s office and the FBI seem to question that, and they are going to investigate the situation. The Editorial Board wonders how a security issue of that magnitude went unnoticed for so long. Because digital information remains on the Internet forever once it is released, state governments need to take extra care with sensitive details. Nod: Rangers’ success creates enthusiasm The Texas Rangers are riding their wave of success from last year’s first World Series appearance by winning nine of their first 11 games. The Board thinks this momentum could help Arlington and other cities in the Dallas-Fort Worth area monetarily as fans go to the ballpark and to restaurants or bars to watch the games. About 50,000 fans attended Opening Day in Arlington, which is one of the park’s largest attendance figures. The average Rangers attendance has gone up to 39,741 for this year so far versus 30,928 last year, according to espn.com. We hope the Rangers maintain their success for their fans and the area. Shake: Jumbo plane clips smaller plane An Airbus A380 and a regional jet collided on the ground Monday night at Kennedy Airport. The roughly 590 people on the two planes were uninjured, but the jet spun about 90 degrees. This problem seems like a continuation of the safety issues airlines have had recently, including the cracks and holes found in the Southwest Airlines planes earlier this month. The use of these mega-sized vehicles needs to be examined to make sure oversights like the one Monday can be avoided.
SHOCK
TALK
Dear Editor, I wanted to express my most sincere concern about an issue of UNT proclaiming our mean greenness, yet not living up to the expectations of what we stand for. This urgent issue involves the use of coal as opposed to other natural resources as our primary source of energy. I understand it is difficult to see the effects of the coal ash that exist, but I promise they are there. As a person whose entire family has been affected by asthma, I see the trend between the air quality and the quality of life. As a school and a community in general, we can be the ones to stop the blight of coal and its negative effects on our health. We are suffering because of convenience while we should be conveniently not worrying about the air we breathe. We have solutions to the problem, but how long will it take for everyone to listen? Sincerely, Christopher Taylor is an anthropology junior. He can be reached at extrakrispi@yahoo.com.
“I see the trend between the air quality and the quality of life.”
—Christopher Taylor Anthropology junior
Dear Editor, This letter is in response to UNT’s policy on renewable energy and coal energy. A s a cu r rent st udent at UNT, I would like to see the university become completely green. I know powering a college campus the size of UNT takes a lot of energy, but I believe we could become one of the few universities if not the first in the nation to run on only renewable energy. Thank you for your time, Curtis Kniatt is a mechanical engineering sophomore. He can be reached at curtisk09@ gmail.com.
People on campus have recently seen a student pushing for the university to go green instead of burning coal for its energy. On one hand, I agree with this student because I, like many other people in the world, have asthma. On the other hand, I look at the dollar signs. The university is already in a major deficit with the building of our new stadium and all of the new buildings on campus. Switching from coal to energy-efficient energy might help the university in the long run, but I say for now that will just raise the price of our tuition and make everything on campus more expensive. Durango, Colo., has been strapped for money from many years. What was the solution to gaining more money? The city saved $45,000 by doing away with going green! Some cities even have to think, “Do we want to lay off quality employees or do away with our energy-efficient machines?” So, what I say to the woman
“For now that will just raise the price of our tuition.”
pushing for clean energy is to not give up on her dream but instead postpone it until the university can fund this project without going more in debt. The president of the university should seriously consider waiting on this going-green project. If the average student were to weigh either renovating their house to energy-efficient machines or paying a car bill, the student would choose the car bill. This is all about want over necessity. The university is running fine without being energy efficient, so keep the thought but bring it up in the future. Cole Belew is a speech pathology sophomore. He can be reached at colebelew@yahoo.com.
Donald hands opponents a trump card Wow. Donald Trump has long been known for his eccentricity, but he really outdid himself recently with his birther theory media tour. With his usual bluntness, Trump ran the talk show circuit, expounding on his views on “The Today Show,” “The O’Reilly Factor” and “The View,” to name a few. Normally this sort of thing would be considered another sideshow like the Trump/ O’Donnell feud, but there’s an added dimension with the rumors about his potential 2012 presidential run. According to a new poll from NBC News and the Wall Street Journal, Trump tied with Mike Huckabee for second place as a hypothetical GOP candidate. However, jumping on board with birtherism as a real possibility has already wrecked him as a general election candidate. If Trump is seriously considering a run for the presidency, he’s only kidding himself now.
He’s presented the world with what I call a Kucinich Moment, i.e. a ridiculous statement that people will remember every time they hear his name from now on. For those who don’t remember, Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich had brief runs for the Democratic nomination in the past two presidential elections. During a 2007 debate, he said he once saw a UFO — the rest is history. Of course, since the FBI’s decision to release files about the Roswell incident, he may be vindicated. The birthers may also find proof that aliens conspired to forge evidence of Obama’s birth in Hawaii so that he could later become president and open the U.S. up to a Martian invasion. Hey, anything’s possible, right? Obama’s re-election campaign must be delighted that one of his strongest potential competitors has effectively cut himself off
at the knees before the official announcements start. In fact, it looks kind of suspicious. I bet the Democrats secretly hired Trump to pull this bogus stunt and then run so they’d have a weak candidate to fight … gee, this conspiracy thing is actually pretty fun. I should try it more often. Trump’s Kucinich Moment is particularly useful for his opponents because of all the footage from the different talk shows. There’s plenty for a YouTube montage set to clever music, even. You can watch The Donald pontificate as Meredith Vieira looks on (another big topic for bloggers has been the response of these talk show hosts, some of which were pretty weak) or sit back and listen to Bill O’Reilly make fun of his claims. (Oh no, they even fooled conservative Bill O’Reilly! This conspiracy is deeper than we thought!) The O’Reilly Factor version was particularly entertaining
as Trump called the newspaper birth announcements suspicious and said he’d never seen people put that type of ad in papers. Overall, it’s been pretty funny to watch as an alternative to Charlie Sheen coverage. But now we’ve seen the Trump card, and it’s a joker. It’s time for the Republicans to shuffle the deck.

La Salle investigates report of lap dances BY STEPHANIE FARR MCT
A La Sa lle Universit y professor who serves on the school’s committee on academic integrity reportedly hired strippers to attend a symposium, at which they gave lap dances to himself and students. La Salle spokesman Joseph Donovan confirmed that the university has “launched a full-scale investigation” into the March 21 symposium held by Jack Rappaport, an assistant professor of management, at the university’s satellite campus in Plymouth Meeting. Donovan declined to say what the school is investigating, but according to a Philadelphia City Paper blog post by Emily Apisa — a La Salle student who claims to have spoken with two students who were in atten-
dance — participants paid $150 to go to the symposium, where they earned credits in the College of Professional and Continuing Studies or extra credit in Rappaport’s business classes. Three scantily clad strippers gave lap dances to willing students and to Rappaport during the class, according to the blog, which broke the story on Friday. The nature of the symposium is unclear, although the blog suggests that it was supposed to be about “the application of Platonic and Hegelian ethics to business.” Donovan confirmed that the symposium ended when School of Business Dean Paul Brazina came in and brought it to a halt. Donovan said that students who attended the symposium would be interviewed as part of the school’s investigation.
