By T.S. McBride
Contributing Writer Andrea White, wife of Texas gubernatorial candidate Bill W h ite, wa s i n Denton on Friday to campaign on behalf her husband. White appeared at a meetand-greet event at the home of Bill Barnett, the Democratic candidate for justice of the peace. Bill White, who is running on t he Democrat ic t icket, faces an uphill battle w ith Republican incumbent Rick Perry. His wife said she hopes t hat w il l cha nge as W hite strives to increase his name recognition. “It’s a big state and he has to be known to win,” Andrea White said. “A lot of people haven’t seen his ads yet, but they will.” Denton is a Republ ica n city and White trailed Perry in an August 23 Rasmussen poll, with 49 percent of likely voters favoring Perry and 41 percent favoring White.

She addressed the group for about five minutes, stressing her and her husband’s interest in reducing dropout rates in Texas. “When you treat dropping out like an emergency and tell
kids it’s not acceptable, then they rethink the thing and go back to school,” White said. “If [Bill] was elected governor — you know 50 percent of the state budget is education — he’s promised me he would spend every day on trying to get our k ids the education they need to succeed.” Also in attendance was Neil Durra nce, t he Democrat ic ca ndidate for Texas’s 26t h congressional district. “Bill White would be a great gift for the state of Texas,” D u r r a nc e s a id . “I t h i n k that people are tired of the extremism … of the current candidate.” W hile in Denton, Andrea White also spoke at the home of Rudy Rodriguez during the installation of officers for the Leag ue of Lat in A merica n Cit i zens. Mayor Ma rk Burroughs also attended. Bill W hite was mayor of Houston from 2004 to 2010. He was twice re-elected to the position by large majorities. This is the first run for the governor’s office for the San Antonio native. White’s wife said that his ex per ience as a self-made businessman ma kes him a better candidate for the office than Perry.

Senior Staff Writer For those looking for a chance in the spotlight, this week could make their dream a reality. With the Glee Club’s second semester soon to arrive at UNT, auditions for prospective new members will continue today and Wednesday from 5-10 p.m. in the Silver Eagle Suites. “We’ve got a Facebook event we put up a month ago and it says right now we’ve got about 140 people confirmed,” said Jose Coira, a radio, television and film senior and founder and president of UNT’s Glee Club. “But with the Mean Green Fling, we had over 150 people sign up, not from Facebook, so I have no idea how many people are coming.” Last week was a huge eyeopener as to what’s going to happen at auditions, he said. Auditions will begin with a registration table outside the Silver Eagle Suites. Once inside, old members from last semester will take 10 people at a time into another room to be measured and fitted for costumes if the st udent makes it into the ensemble.

Students boycott new, expensive textbooks BY A MBER JONES Intern
Each year, professors hand out their syllabi and announce the textbooks required for the semester. While most professors state that a book is mandatory for the class, many students are successfully managing through the school year without the use of a textbook. While bookstores are readily available to UNT students, a lot of people have developed their own methods to save money, including purchasing their books online. Websites like Amazon, Ninja books and Half-Price.com have been reliable sources for buying cheap books. “My freshman year I didn’t know where else to buy my text so I spend nearly $600 at the campus
bookstore. Luckily, I never did that again. Now, I always buy books off of Amazon. I bought all five of my schoolbooks for less than a $200,” Courtney Tinch, an education junior, said. Although sites like Amazon are an alternative place to purchase books, many offer only older editions of the text. Some students are willing to buy the dated editions. “I don’t spend money on new books. It’s a waste of money. The only difference between the two editions is that the newer editions may have one or two new chapters added to them. But overall the material is the same,” said Janice Jones, a biology graduate student. Other students are saving cash and not buying books at all. “Personally, I boycotted school textbooks. I got tired of hearing

the teacher say that books were mandatory, and then we would use them once. So I stopped buying them. If we end up having a book assignment I just borrow a friend’s copy,” Roze Pegues, a psychology senior, said. Pegues is not the only student who feels this way. Many students have begun using other methods for preparing for test or class assignments. Some students rely strictly on their notes from class lectures to help them complete schoolwork, while others use the campus library as their study tool. “I don’t buy books, but sometimes the teacher will assign something directly from the book. The library almost always has a copy of a textbook I may need, and the best part is that it’s free,” Jalisa McGinnis, a social work junior, said.

“I really didn’t think it was going to become successful at all but last semester we had about 100 people audition and then it just blew up, especially when Glee’s finale aired last semester,” Coira said. “We had tons of press that week. We had Fox come and interview us, we were in USA Today. So it’s definitely taken off publicity-wise.” Breana Peden, a math senior and fan of the show, said she saw the club perform at her sorority’s variety show last year. “They were good, I didn’t know we had a glee club on campus,” Peden said. As for the club’s plans for the future, Elliott Allums, a chemistry and psychology senior and a current member of the Glee Club, said it hopes to continue to provide entertainment and an outlet for people to perform, sing, and dance. “With the club last semester, we weren’t really sure the direction that we wanted to take it or how the members were going
to view it, but it has evolved into a very successful organization that is very recognizable,” Allums said. “The talent has grown incredibly. It has just rapidly evolved.” Coira said the organization has brought another option to UNT and its students. “There’s a lot of music majors and dance majors that there isn’t a dance team that they can just join,” Coira said. “I think it just gives another opportunity for students for the creative outlet.” Peden said the club is different from other organizations on campus and gives people an opportunity to do more than just sing or dance. The Glee Club rehearsal schedule can be found at www. unt.edu. “For me, it’s been a way to further develop my skills as a dancer and also a great way to meet new faces around campus,” Allums said. “It exposes you to a lot.”

Group reaches out through multimedia campaign BY CHRISTINA MLYNSKI Senior Staff Writer
When Lauren Haynie was a freshman, she remembers struggling to find a place she fit into at college. After w inter break 2010, Haynie, a general studies junior and co-vice president of I Am Second UNT, found her calling during a College Ministry road trip. Later, she was introduced to Chris Plekenpol, one of the first speakers for I Am Second. “We all have struggles and we are designed to be able to help each other through them,” Haynie said. I Am Second, a worldwide multimedia movement founded in 2008, was started by Planobased e3 Partners Ministry, said Jim Williamson, a mechanical engineering sophomore and president of the group. The stories on iamsecond. com provide insight into dealing w ith daily struggles while relating to others, according to the website. I Am Second UNT is directed toward the college generation, open to anyone and free to join, Williamson said. “I Am Second is all about teaching people to live a life where we are always putting ourselves second, never first,” said Leah Olsen, a communications and political science junior and co-vice president. The group has a core team of
seven people who do the decision making and more than 35 members, Williamson said. Throughout the week, small g roup sessions meet a nd every Sunday, a large group meeting is held at 8:30 p.m. at the Clubhouse, which is located at 1026 Hillcrest St. All members gather to worship, pray, receive updates and meet new members, Olsen said. The sessions follow a process of watching a video from the website, reading a passage that goes along with the video, answering analytical questions and applying what they learned at the session to something and someone before they meet up the following week, Olsen said. “It’s a sa fe place where you can come and ask questions, where it’s not heav y on doctoring beliefs,” said Steven Bieberly, a communications senior and member. “They don’t force things on people.” The group is supported by fundraisers such as carwashes, as well as by the national I A m Second orga n i z at ion and Denton Bible Church, Williamson said. The movement differs from a church because it’s geared towa rd non-believers a nd people of other faiths, using an outreach process instead of the in-reach process which is typically used, Bieberly said.

The national organization of I Am Second, a group which provides insight into dealing with daily struggles, helps people with addiction, including cigarettes, alcohol and drug abuse. “I Am Second is primarily foc u sed on relat i ng a nd befriending those who would never darken the door of a church,” Haynie said. T he g roup pa r t icipates in Homeless Ministry every Wednesday night in Dallas and is involved with Denton Bible Church and the Village
Church Denton Ca mpus , Olsen said. The next event is at 7:30 p.m. on Monday at the Clubhouse, and is for students to learn more about I Am Second UNT and be placed in a small group session, Haynie said. “I really want people to see how Christians really live in
a community as opposed to the stereotypes,” Williamson said. I Am Second UNT will celebrate its one-year birthday at the start of the new year, and hopes by then that the numbers are larger because students are willing to give the movement a try.
“I was the girl who came to college and got caught up in the scene of boys, parties and bars,” Olsen said. “I think every person should be aware that they don’t have to go through college alone.” For more i n for mat ion, search “I Am Second UNT” on Facebook.
Bike Towards the Cure co-founder returns to Denton BY NICOLE L ANDRY Staff Writer
In the spring semester of 2010, Jonathan Triantafyllou, a pre-med senior, decided to create a cause when his best friend, Phil Bayliss, was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Together, the two friends created Bike Towards the Cure, a fundraising organization that would go on a bike tour across the country over the summer and raise money for cancer research. The tour began in San Diego, Calif. on June 12 and ended August 21 in Sea Isle City, N.J. About 100 cyclists participated in the 71-day tour. Now bac k i n Denton, Triantafyllou is satisfied with the success of the tour and ready to get back on the bike. “It was a lot of fun,” he said. “I’m ready to ride a lot more.” Tr ia nta f yl lou sa id t hat getting to see the scenery of the United States from coast to coast was wonderful, though the changes were very subtle. The most prominent transition, he said, was biking over the Rocky Mountains and ending up in the desert within 15 minutes. The abrupt temperature change caused some problems. “We ended up changing the riding schedule because you

Jonathan Triantafyllou, a pre-med senior, created Bike Towards the Cure, an organization that biked across the country over the summer to raise money for cancer research. can’t ride during the heat of the day,” Triantafyllou said. Because the tour route was a combination of two well-ridden routes, Triantafyllou said most residents of the cities the tour passed through were accustomed to seeing large groups of bikers pass by. However, they still received a lot of questions
about why they were biking and where they were headed. Every week, and sometimes every few days, Triantafyllou and Bayliss would update the blog on Bike Towards the Cure’s website with information about how long they biked each day and how they were feeling. “What a day!” Triantafyllou
begins in his blog recount of the first day. “Plenty of complications today … but what’s an adventure if everything goes as planned?” Tr ia nta f yl lou sa id t hat Bayliss coped well throughout the tour, even when they rode through the desert. “Phil’s doing great,” he said. “Nothing went wrong with [his] medication during the trip.” Overall, the bikers managed to raise more than $16,000, though Triantafyllou said they were still counting checks
that they were receiving from various sponsors. Accord i ng to t he Bi ke Towards the Cure website, the money will be donated to three different organizations: the American Cancer Society, the Lance Armstrong Foundation and the V Foundation for Cancer Research. While Triantafyllou enjoyed the trip and its magnitude in both length and importance, he doesn’t plan on making another trip of this size any time soon.
“I’d like to do some smaller tours or maybe do a tour of Europe,” he said. Bayliss said the trip exceeded his expectations. “We didn’t run into any issue on our bikes,” he said. “We joked that we carried around all this extra stuff we didn’t need, but if we hadn’t brought it, we would have ended up needing it.” Bayliss’ favorite part was the last day, when they rode up to the reception celebration in New Jersey. For him, it was like returning home. “My parents and friends told everyone on the beach what was going on, so when we rode up on the boardwalk ... it was a couple blocks’ worth of people standing and applauding,” he said. “I don’t think Jon and I stopped smiling all night.” Like Triantaf yllou, Bayliss would like to get into some smaller scale tours in the future, but for now, he’s resting up in Philadelphia, Pa. “I thought I deser ved a week of laziness,” he said. Bayliss is proud of what Bike Towards the Cure accomplished, and he said there was no way he could have done it without Triantafyllou. “He helped so much,” Bayliss said. “We just helped each other and pushed each other.”

Mean Green dominates competition on road By Sean Gorman Senior Staff Writer
Play ing in its f irst road games of the year, the UNT women’s soccer team avenged a n upset f rom last season and stayed unbeaten while winning both its games in the Hotel Encanto Aggie Classic over the weekend. The Mea n Green (4-0-0) continued to dominate on offense, over whelming the P r a i r ie V ie w A & M L a d y Panthers (0-3-0) in a 6-0 win on Friday and defeating the Jacksonville State Gamecocks (0-4-0) 2-0 on Sunday. “The players we have on this team have been fun to watch and can do so much i n open space,” a ssist a nt coach Ca ssidy Acu f f sa id. “This weekend they showed just how dangerous they can be against any team.” Friday Led by freshman midfielder Kelsey Hodges’ second hat trick this season, the Mean Green had no trouble picking apart the Lady Panthers en route to the win. Hodges got started early, scoring her first goal in the 13th minute to give UNT the lead. “When we were recruiting her w e k ne w s he w a s a strong player, but her play has been not hing shor t of
out sta nd i ng,” head coach Joh n Hed lu nd sa id. “She’s been a big part of why our of fen se ha s i mprove d so much.” E i g h t m i n u t e s l a t e r, junior defender Julie Lackey provided insurance with her fourth goal of the season to make it 2-0. The Denton native couldn’t st ay aw ay f rom t he goa l, using an assist from sophomore M ichel le You ng to score in the 49th minute and complet i ng a hat t r ick by scoring on a header in the 62nd minute. Late goals from freshman midfielder Jordan Howell and junior forward Nikki Crocco a dde d to t he on s l au g ht , w it h UNT outshooting t he Panthers 30-3. A fter fa lling to the Lady Panthers at home last season, the win had more meaning for the Mean Green players. “ We r e me m b e r w h a t h a pp e ne d l a s t y e a r a nd how it felt losing to them,” Lackey said. “They’re a team we shou ld have beat la st season.” Sunday Strong goalkeeping from J a c k s o n v i l l e S t a t e ’s A l i Koenig kept things close, but two second-half Mean Green goals were the difference in the team’s fourth victor y.
UNT stayed aggressive by outshooting the Gamecocks 7-2 i n t he f i r st ha l f, but Koenig held UNT scoreless and the teams entered halftime tied 0-0. “Somet h i ng we need to work on is coming out strong to start games,” Acuff said. “We’ll be a much better team if we’re more aggressive early on.” Bot h of fenses st r ug g led early in the second half as the game remained scoreless for the half’s first 20 minutes. Sophomore m id f ielder Ellen Scarfone took a pass from sophomore midfielder Carly McDowell and scored from the left side of the box in the 69th minute to finally break the tie. I n s u r a nc e c a me t h r e e minutes later when sophomore for ward A licia Reyes scored the first goal of her career off a rebound. Senior goalkeeper Mandy Ha l l increased her school record shutout total to 19 and has only allowed a single goal this season. “Mandy brings great leadership and talent to the position, so it’s no surprise that she has achieved that feat,” Acuff said. T he Me a n Gr e en now faces Sa m Houston State University at 7 p.m. Friday in Huntsville.

By Felicia a lBa Staff Writer
The UNT vol leyba l l team started off the new season with a statement, winning the Jackson State Invitational on Saturday in a 3-0 sweep. The Mea n Green hasn’t started out a season 3-0 since 2003 and had not won a tournament championship since 2006. “We are a lot more confident this season and the new coaching staff has brought a whole new mindset,” junior designated setter Sarah Willey said. UNT started off the tournament against Southeastern Louisiana with a 3-0 (25-15, 25-19, 25-16) w in, ma k ing head coach Ken Murczek the first coach in school history to start his tenure in a threeset sweep. “I was very proud of the way they [the team] represented North Texas,” Murczek said. The three-set win against the Lions was both a powerful offensive and defensive effort for the Mean Green. The team ended the three sets with a .298 attack percentage and an explosive performance by Melanie Boykins, a junior middle blocker and newcomer to the squad, who contributed 10 kills and had a .667 attack percentage. The defense also did its part by keeping the Lions to only a .096 hitting percentage and a single ace. Willey led the back row for the Mean Green with 14 digs. UNT played clean games all day with just 14 errors, which on ly happened t w ice last season. The Mean Green continued its stellar performance on the second day of the tournament, defeating host Jackson State with a 3-1 (27-25, 20-25, 25-23, 25-13) win. The team put up another powerful effort against JSU with a total of 50

Senior outside hitter Amy Huddleston contributed 14 kills while sophomore middle blocker Rachelle Wilson had 13. Senior outside hitter Roxana Casvean posted 12. Senior libero Kristin Petrasic racked up a total of 18 digs after Willey scored 16 in the second game. Her 16 digs brought her to a total of 739 career digs, the 10th highest in school history. UNT earned the tournament title after defeating the University of New Orleans, a former Sun Belt team, in another 3-0 (25-21, 25-15, 25-13) sweep. “I t hought at t imes we executed at a high level this
weekend,” Murczek said. “We had an awesome time and played with a lot of passion.” Leading the Mean Green offense was junior setter Kayla Saey with 91 assists and an average of 9.1 a set. Backing Saey was a resilient defense led by Boykins, who had 25 total blocks. Wilson also provided 23. The dynamic duo of Willey and Petrasic had 35 and 31 digs in the three matches against UNO, respectively. UNT kept every opponent under .100 in hitting percentage, leaving Huddleston satisfied. “We rea lly did what we expected to do,” she said. “We set a foundation this weekend.”

Clock winds down BABY TALK: Put your mouth on hold on Fouts Field Editorial As the calendar turns to September the electricity of college football fills the air on campuses across the country. Tailgating and football on Saturdays is as much a part of the college experience as keg parties or three-hour lectures. That tradition is lost on the majority of the 36,000 students who inhabit this campus. Now granted, the product put on the football field the last five years has been mediocre at best but with a new stadium on the near horizon, there are just six more opportunities to take in the history of Fouts Field. Originally opened in 1952 as Eagles Stadium, Fouts Field was renamed after Theron J. Fouts in the wake of his passing in 1954. Fouts coached UNT’s football team from 1920 to 1924, amassing a 23-14-2 record, making him one of five football coaches in UNT’s history to have a winning record. He also founded UNT’s track and field program and was instrumental in getting Eagles Stadium built. With the final home game less than three months away, the Editorial Board feels that students should soak up the last remaining moments in a stadium that has been home to one of college’s greatest traditions for the last 58 years. Although recent memory does not exactly get anyone excited about the upcoming season, Fouts Field has seen many great moments through the years. • 14 conference championships, the last in 2004 • 155 wins • A .620 winning percentage • 22 All-Americans, including an honorable mention by Sports Illustrated last season for running back Lance Dunbar • Six All-Pro NFL players, the most recent being current Kansas City Chiefs guard Brian Waters • The largest crowd in Fouts Field history, 29, 347, watched as UNT crushed Baylor 52-13 in 2003 • Receiver Casey Fitzgerald’s 231 receiving yards against Louisiana-Lafayette in 2008 • A 136-point shootout that set an NCAA Division record for points scored and a school record for touchdowns when quarterback Giovanni Vizza accounted for nine in a 74-62 loss to Navy in 2007 • Running back Jamario Thomas breaking his own rushing record with a near 300-yard performance against Idaho in 2004 • Dunbar’s breakout performance against Middle Tennessee last season when he had five rushes for 101 yards and two touchdowns, including a 66-yard romp that ignited the crowd Dunbar’s All-American season does give hope that UNT is on the verge of turning things around, and with the new $78-million stadium set to open in September 2011 against the University of Houston, it couldn’t come soon enough. There are 360 minutes left in the life of Fouts Field as a football venue before the Mean Green and Kansas State shut the door on a UNT landmark Nov. 27.

Walking around the UNT campus on any given day, you may see a plethora of things going. Students and faculty may observe squirrels chasing other squirrels, construction for new buildings and international students speaking languages you only wish you knew. Unfortunately, a growing amount of individuals who enjoy ca rr y ing on conversations as they walk around campus can be spotted, somet hing t hat w i l l be sure to anger anger many people. I have no idea when these loud mout hs decided t hat talking on their cell phones in public would be acceptable. These are the people who are more likely to run into trees, get run over by bikes or wander into an oncoming Ford Focus.
If somebody is in a small space w ith a lot of people, they need to put their conversations on hold. These places i nclude elev ator s, bu ses, busy bat hrooms, etc. It is hard enough to be stuck in an elevator with a bunch of people, much less somebody who has unlimited daytime minutes. If you a re one of t hese people, I would just like to inform you that while you are enjoying your chat, nobody else within a 10-foot radius of you is enjoying it. Nobody cares about what you do or do not remember about last night, what you have going on this week or what your boyfriend said to you five minutes ago. What gets even funnier is when these people feel like they are entitled to a sense of
privacy. They look at everybody as they continue to talk, wondering why people stare at them as they debate why Sammi is still going out with Ronnie. I wonder why they would do such a thing. Last time I checked, if you a re hav ing a conversat ion in public, your privacy gets chucked out the window. I ca n’t even reca l l how ma ny t i mes I have seen someone drive like an idiot on the road, only to find out that they were talking away on their cell phone. (Hey, I can’t drive well either—I just say my prayers.) Some people just aren’t able to make a right turn a nd ta lk at t he sa me time. Staying off the phone in public can help avoid dirty glares, stumbling, or an “I
almost ran into a pole” experience. But if the pole is somehow not avoided and your face meets metal, just remember that next time, maybe you should just say, “I’ll call you back.”

Alcohol provides drunken entertainment I’d heard the stories. Cotton mouth. The shakes. Shor t t emp er. B or e dom . Apathy. Don’t stop drinking. Can’t stop drinking. Wait a second. Aren’t those dry-out symptoms for the … heav y drinkers? That’s not me. Those are for the people who are dying in the bars. Me? I don’t live in Tavern, fueled by cheap Jager bombs, dizzied by pastel collars and bad haircuts. I wouldn’t call Lou’s my haunt, either, especially not on their way-tooaffordable margarita nights. Whenever those are. I’m not particularly adept to places on the Square; Texas Tuesdays? What’s that? A bar in a basement with quarter wells one evening a week? Now I’m just talking out of my rear end. Hold on ; w hy a m I so familiar with these evenings? Does my socia l life rea l ly
resemble a pinball table? It’s sta r t ing to sound li ke I’m shooting from one drinking hole to the other, occasionally finding a cheap hole-in-thewall with good pool tables. Bonus points. I guess I forgot about how that game ends: The metallic ball slipping off the shooter, quickly disappearing into the emptiness below. I think I call that “sleep.” Okay; that’s a bit dramatic. But the fact remains: Alcohol is deeply embedded in the culture of this North Texas college town. We know where to park ours car at night so they become hidden and we can make our getaway unabated. We know code-words like “Crusher” and – Dear God, no – “Four Loko.” Going to some locations, it’s quite easy to forget that the contents of a margarita did, at one point, exist sepa rately in glass bott les

I’m not a binger; I enjoy my cabernet sauvignon at dinner, and I certainly enjoy going out with friends. It just seems the only places to go here are bars and restaurants. I guess that’s just like any college town, though. Drying up didn’t cause me to have cottonmouth. I didn’t get the sha kes. My temper didn’t really change. I’m no more bored than I was two weeks ago, and I suppose the same goes for apathy. Maybe I’m not a heav y enough drinker; whatever. The point is, my week of f was a ref lective eye-opener. I became more observational and understanding of what I surround myself with. It’s not at all a bad thing to go out and play pool and enjoy
