Activist promotes tolerance Car accident near campus EMILY BENTLEY Intern

A UNT student flipped her car after skimming the back of a parked, unoccupied vehicle on W. Oak Street near campus, firefighters at the scene said. The student did not appear to be seriously injured, and exited the upended vehicle without assistance, but she was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital for examination. Math sophomore Sam Smith, who stopped at the scene of the accident to try and assist, said the student in the wrecked vehicle exited through the sunroof.

UNT welcomed speaker Zach Wahls – the 21-year-old activist who became an Internet sensation after he was recorded eloquently speaking on behalf of gay marriage and relating his story of growing up with two mothers at a meeting of the Iowa House of Representatives – to the Lyceum last night.

Wahls, who was conceived through artificial insemination and raised by two women, speaks at universities and rallies around the country to raise awareness of LGBT issues, including marriage rights.

During his speech and question-and-answer session, Wahls said that it is love that makes good parents – not gender.

Growing up in Iowa, Wahls, who is straight, said classmates harassed him because of his two mothers.

He said he put up with the insults and anti-gay slurs until high school, where he made it a personal point to discourage the use of degrading words.

“It was not an instant process,” he said. “When I was younger, I

Wahls eventually wrote an article about his two mothers, which was published in his high school’s paper.

City council extends gas drilling moratorium

UNT-based researchers dubbed “Titans of Tech”

BEN PEYTON

In a unanimous 6-0 vote, the Denton City Council approved an extension of the current gas well moratorium, which prohibits new gas drilling in the city.

The moratorium was first issued in February, and the 120-day extension period will begin Oct. 4.

The City Council has until Dec. 18 to complete a final gas well ordinance that would replace the moratorium.

If a solution can not be reached in that time, another extension of the current moratorium would be the most likely alternative, Councilman Kevin Roden said.

The moratorium temporarily halts new drilling until a new gas well ordinance can address health a nd environ mental concerns raised by Denton residents.

At the City Hall meeting Tuesday, Denton resident Tara Linn Hunter speaks in favor of establishing a moratorium on gas well permits. The moratorium would limit the drilling and gas well activity within the city of Denton.

Hunter, who has lived in the city for four years, opposed future drilling and brought the serious implications of a new ordinance close to home.

“Whether or not and or to what degree fracking is allowed to continue in this town will be a major factor in whether I

decide to settle here and permanently raise a family,” Hunter said to the council.

Ot hers i n at tenda nce supported gas well drilling, as long as safety precautions were in place.

The UNT-based Net-Centric Software and Systems Center has won its second “Tech Titans of the Future Award” in three years at the Metroplex Technology Business Council Gala on Aug. 24.

“Winning the Tech Titans Award is equivalent to winning an Academy Award in the movie industry,” MTBC President and CEO Bill Sproull said. “UNT looks like they’re heading in the right direction.”

T he ga la re cog n i z e s university programs in the Dallas-Fort Worth area that encourage students to pursue careers in engineering and technology. UNT beat out five other universities and small business for the honor this year.

UNT won its first award in 2010 for an all-female “Robocamp” that summer.

The UNT-based center was recognized for getting its students involved in the industry with collaborative projects with companies such as AMD, Raytheon and Tektronix, said UNT computer science professor Krishna Kavi, Industry and University Cooperative Research Center director.

The center, which was established in 2009, has more than 15 students participating, most of whom are graduate students.

“It’s great publicity for the center and our industry partners,” Kavi said. “But most i mp or t a nt ly, it prov ide s industry-driven projects for our students.”

K av i e s t a b l i s h e d t h e Net-Centric Soft ware and Systems IUCRC in Feburary 2009 because he wa nted North Texas to have a research center similar to the Research Triangle in North Carolina. The initial members of the center were UNT, the University of

Texas at Dallas and Southern Methodist University. Arizona State University joined in 2010 and the Missouri University of Science and Technology followed in 2012. Purdue plans to join the center later this year.

“Each university has its own companies and projects,” Kavi said. “But the center is called IUCRC, therefore universities can collaborate and coordinate with each other based on the industry developer’s request.”

Each universit y focuses on different aspect of the technology industry. UNT’s strength is net-centric, or cloud computing, where students and researchers conduct research to find the maximum capacity of a technology or program. Kavi said one of the center’s projects included finding the advantages of a yet-to-be-released technology from Advanced Micro Devices.

UNT takes initiative to keep students enrolled ELEANOR SADLER Intern

UNT takes steps to keep students enrolled A c c o r d i n g t o a 2 0 11 Harvard study, “Pathways to Prosperit y,” the United States has a 40 percent college dropout rate, the highest in the industrialized world. With new programs, loans and a revamped withdrawal system, UNT is taking steps to help improve those statistics.

“We have been losing about 500 students a semester,” said Maureen McGuinness, dean of students and assistant vice president for student affairs.

“As of September 10, 151 have withdrawn and 14 have been retained.”

Students drop out for a variety of reasons, according to the study: the stress of academ ic work, f i n a nc ia l

pressure, competing claims of family and employment, and difficulty finding a connection between programs of study and opportunities in the labor market.

To ease students’ financial burdens, the Student Money Management Center offers an array of loans for emergency expenses, ranging from $50 to $1,000. The loans have low down payments and no interest rates. The center does not run credit checks for these loans.

UNT offers a “Boots to Books” loan specifically for st udent s t h at qua l i f y for veteran benefits. The loan allows students to buy books wh ile t hey wait for thei r veteran reimbursement.

“I think our loan programs have been the most directly beneficial in keeping students

in school today,” said Danielle Cha mpag ne, assistant director of the Student Money Management Center. “Longterm, though, most students will need consultations to either address whatever issue got them into an emergency or to try to plan ahead and be able to be proactive to avoid that emergency in the future.”

The Money Management Center provides seminars and presentations that students can use to learn more about financial responsibility and avoid ending up in a situation that may force dropping out.

This semester, the university has also made the withdrawal process more hands-on.

Instead of submitting a withdrawal form, students planning on withdrawing must meet with a Dean of Students team member. This face-to-

face meeting is to ensure that the university cannot remedy whatever issue is causing the student to withdraw.

Allie Thibodeaux, a coordinator with the Dean of Students Of f ice, sa id t hat st udents consider withdrawing for a variety of issues.

“With the undergraduate students, a lot of times, it’s about get t i ng con nected,” Thibodeaux said. “We find ways to either refer them to student activities, to the Center for Leadership and Service and many other places.”

The new withdrawal process helps students find resources that will keep them enrolled and helps UNT understand why students withdraw.

“Before you drop out, my words of wisdom are, ‘Come see us, let’s see how we can help you,’” McGuinness said.

Graduation Stats Americans spend more than $400 billion annually on post-secondary education.

Nearly 70 percent of high school graduates go to college within two years of graduating.

Only about 4 in 10 Americans have obtained an associateʼs or bachelorʼs degree by their mid-20s.

56 percent of those enrolling in a four-year college earn a bachelorʼs degree after six years, and less than 30 percent of those who enroll in community college succeed in obtaining an associateʼs degree within three years.

Only 30 percent of African-Americans and fewer than 20 percent of Latinos in their mid-20s have an associateʼs degree or higher.

Speaker Continued from Page 1 Wahls urged students to become active, politically and socially, to create change in how the LGBT community is treated and perceived.

“We live in a world of smartphones and technology. We have so much power just at the touch of our phones, and we need to utilize it,” Wahls said. “I got to this position because someone I didn’t even know was filming me on their cell phone and posted it to YouTube.”

When Wahls finished speaking, the Lyceum shook with applause.

City Continued from Page 1 “I used to work, literally, next to a gas well,” Denton resident Ryan Brown said. “It wasn’t loud, there was no smell, there weren’t pools of chemicals nearby, et cetera. I do not have a problem with a gas well drill right next to my apartment, assuming that there were safe regulations in place.”

Demonstrators at the meeting pointed a collective angry finger at Eagleridge Operating, a drilling company they said has a reputation for subpar pollution management.

Although the moratorium has stalled any new drilling

Wahls mingled with students, who said the young activist had been inspiring, genuine and informative.

“One of the main things students should take away from this is that words have a big affect on people,” mathematics junior Michael Watts said.

Higher education master’s student Damien Torres said he hoped that the UNT student body had taken Wahls’ message to heart.

“It is so important that people are exposed to different viewpoints,” Torres said. “ [That’s why] people have them, so that there is more equal representation.”

endeavors from oil companies, Eagleridge submitted four gas well applications to the city before the moratorium went into effect in February.

Those wells have been effectively grandfathered in, and drilling at the four sites will be allowed to go ahead at an unspecified later date.

A review by the city’s Gas Well Task Force, the planning and zoning commission and the City Council, as well as planned meetings calling for additional public input, will occur before the new ordinance is finalized.

The City Council also proclaimed the month of September Blood Cancer Awareness Month and the week of Sept. 15 through Sept.

22 Constitution Week.

“All the universities and companies meet semiannually to evaluate the process of the assigned projects,” Kavi said. “The companies then provide their opinions and decide whether to discontinue a project or create a new one.”

To apply as a researcher for the program, a student has to at least be a junior or senior with a background in programming, and motivated enough to create their own programs, Kavi said.

Although the research is intensive, Kavi said students who worked with the center in the last

Mahzabeen Islam, an international computer science and engineering doctoral student from Bangladesh who is conducting research on the cache performance of multiple systems, wasn’t sure she wanted to join the program at first. But after getting started with the IUCRC, Islam believes this is the right program for her.

“We are always doing research relating to the industry and its current needs, so I’ll have a great advantage studying here,” Islam said. “It’s always good to learn from Dr. Kavi because he gives us good direction and advice.”

As s chools a rou nd t he country tighten their belts, much discussion has focused on what programs should face budget cuts. Extracurricular programs, particularly those centered around the arts, are often first on the chopping block.

However, programs such as UNT’s Early Childhood Music program are busy making a strong case for the importance of an education in art and music.

The early childhood development program invites infant to preschool-aged children and their parents to learn and practice music at the UNT campus.

“We want to be able to give children a foundation for music, so that they can start building musical skills and musical appreciation,” A s si st a nt Di r e c tor Heid i Scheibmeir said. “We believe music is like language and

should be taught at an early age so that children have the greatest chances at excelling in it.”

The program is offered yearround in the Music Annex.

Children are given an array of items such as trampolines, scarves and more to work on pitch and rhythm and learn how to make sounds and chants.

“M o s t m u s i c n o w i s influenced from the past,” Scheibmeir said. “Along with educat i ng ch i ld ren about music, we are teaching children to introduce music to their children, so that this is not lost.”

Research has shown that st ude nt s who h ave b e e n exposed to music at an early age tend do better in school and score higher on IQ tests, as well as have better memory retention and lower levels of stress.

According to the CollegeB ou n d S e n io r s Nat io n a l

“...we are teaching children to introduce music to their children, so that this is never lost.”

-Heidi Scheibmeir, Early Childhood Music Asst. Director Report, students who take courses in music score between 30 and 50 points higher on average on the verbal and math parts of the SAT. “I’ve always liked music,” said Dave Farrell, who is cu r rently fi n ish i ng h is master’s degree in jazz performance studies. “However, it wasn’t until I was 10 that I started to take music more seriously.

“Cloth Talks” opens on Square ERIKA L AMBRETON Staff Photographer

A mannequin draped in 12-foot traditional Ghanaian garments stares blankly as the beats of nearly a dozen drums echo through the Denton Square.

Each piece of cloth and each beat of the drum represents rich, historical narratives and different aspects of traditional proverbs.

These are just some representations of the southeastern African culture on display at the UNT on the Square exhibit “Cloth Talks: An Exhibition of Ghanaian Textiles,” which runs through Sept. 29.

The cloths are an idiographic form of communication, said UNT alumna Elise Ridenour, whose collection of Ghanaian textiles is on loan to the exhibit.

“Each of the symbols are attached to a proverb associated with a specific historical event,” Ridenour said.

“Cloth Talks” is a month-long exhibit and just one of the events organized by the UNT Institute for the Advancement of the Arts.

“We’ve had a lot of visitors so far who are spending a lot of time here,” said Meredith Buie, administrative coordinator and assistant to the director of UNT on the Square.

Those visiting have spent their time reading the explanations on the walls or watching the videos of the cloth-making process and

are very curious about the underlying symbolism, Buie said.

On Thursday, Koo Nimo, a musical living legend in Ghana, will perform traditional palm wine music, also known as highlife, as part of the exhibit.

The performance will take place at UNT on the Square at 7:30 p.m.

“He is the foremost proponent of palm wine music,” music and anthropology professor Steven Friedson said.

Palm wine is a drink made from the sap of palm trees. It became associated with the music that originated at the turn of the century from sailors who would travel around the world and play Portuguese guitars, Friedson said.

The music later became known as highlife because it was played more and more at elite functions.

Palm wine’s influence can be heard in Caribbean, Latin jazz and calypso music, Friedson said.

Nimo is known around the world as a composer and preserver of this tradition, Friedson said.

His music incorporates new techniques while addressing social issues.

Nimo will be joined Thursday by percussion professor Gideon Foli Alorwoyie, director of the UNT Percussion African ensemble.

Alorwoyie also performed last Friday as part of the ongoing “Cloth Talks” exhibit.

The performance was a way to take the music from the classroom

Alorwoyie, originally from Ghana, is considered one of the greatest master drummers of Africa and is the first traditional musician to receive tenure at a United States university, Friedson said.

In addition, “Talking Drums, Talking Cloths,” a symposium in which artists and scholars will hold a roundtable discussion regarding African textiles

and musical traditions, will be held today at the College of Music Recital Hall Room 301 at 2 p.m.

The discussion will include Roslyn Walker, curator of African Art at the Dallas Museum of Art, noted African author John Chernoff, Nimo, Alorwoyie, Ridenour and Friedson.

Sundown presents “sinful” play NADIA HILL

Senior Staff Writer Over the course of six weeks, the garage at 529 Malone St. transforms from a dusty storage area to a painted, black-box performance space for six artists dedicated to creating original plays and shows.

“The 7,” a Sundown Collaborative Theatre original, applies actors’ own modern twists to the seven deadly sins as told through Greek mythology.

The show opens Friday at 8 p.m. at the Green Space Arts Collective, and will run through Sept. 23.

“There is something everyone can attach to,” co-founder and co-artistic director George Ferrie said. “It’s interesting to tell these this way, through the Greek stories, where some are known and some aren’t. It gives an audience a different look.”

Greek mythology explains the seven deadly sins – lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride – through a series of anecdotes involving the Greek myths, like Midas turning every-

thing he touches to gold because he is consumed by greed.

Cast member Tashina Richardson approached co-directors Ferrie and Travis Steubing about adapting the classic works and expressing the same concepts in a contemporary way.

“In Greek mythology, the underworld is such a big aspect, and seven sins tie directly to that,” Richardson said. “We combined those two and through feeling out the process, figured out how we were going to tell those stories. It’s always cool to see how a kernel from week one turns into a full-fledged scene in week five.”

Six UNT students and alumni looking to expand their theatrical horizons founded Sundown in 2007.

The nonprofit theater organization produces diverse pieces where each cast member contributes equally to the final product.

The creative process involves one person pitching an idea to the team. The team then discusses all pitched ideas and makes group

Nicholas Ross (left) and Tashina Richardson hold poses for their upcoming performance in Sundown Collaborative Theatre’s “The 7.” decisions about which shows to do and how to go about doing them.

Occasionally the group works through Shakespearean plays and produces shows based on known texts, but most of their shows, including “The 7,” are Sundown originals.

“They’re a smaller group and don’t have any overhead,” Campus Theatre Office Manager Kyla Welch said. “It’s all a tradeoff. While they have more flexibility, they don’t have as many

resources. But they’re another group with like minds who get together and do what they want.”

Student tickets for the performance are $8 and general admission is $10.

“We rely on other forms of art in this show, like music and movement,” Richardson said.

“We’re not handing you a show.

I hope people get the essence and basic elements of each story.

Every device piece is emotion based and each story is tied to an emotion.”

Art shows Denton in new light

K ELSEY CHIPPEAUX Intern

Photos of famous Denton landmarks such as Recycled Books and the Courthouse as well as local street signs, bridges and more are now on display at the Gough Gallery.

The photos are part of a free exhibit titled “Denton through Two Lenses: Tom Judd and Walter Eagleton.” The exhibit is presented by the Greater Denton Arts Council and will run through Oct. 28.

“We wanted the exhibit to be centered on Denton, and we knew that Tom Judd and Walter Eagleton specifically had a lot of impressive Denton-centered work,” Exhibition Coordinator Deanna Wood said.

Wood said the show has been well received by the community.

There were about 200 people at the opening reception of the new gallery, she said.

While Denton may not seem like a classically beautiful town, Judd said the key to finding beautiful photos is to pay attention and look at things in a new light.

“A lot of people tend to think of Denton as not being really all

The Greater Denton Arts Council presents a photography exhibition, “Denton Through Two Lenses,” which features work

by Walter Eagleton and Tom Judd. that beautiful in terms of the landscape, but it’s got its own kind of beauty if you go out and look for it,” Judd said.

Photography has become second nature to these two artists in the many years they have practiced.

“For me, photography is just something that I have to do,” Judd said. “I do it a lot, and I do it because I love it. But it’s the first time I’ve been asked to do a Denton-related show, so that was new and fun.”

Eagleton is a portrait photographer by profession.

“This is my first gallery show ever, and it’s really fun to be part of this show and part of the art passion community,” Eagleton said. “Just to be considered an artist is really exciting.”

The photos featured in the exhibit were actually taken from various projects.

“Quite a few of those shots were just made from a day where I wasn’t shooting, and I looked outside and thought, ‘I really like

the lighting today,’” Judd said.

“And I just walked out and started walking towards the Square and shooting.”

Many of Eagleton’s photos were taken the same way.

“When I first started taking the images that ended up in the exhibit, I had in mind that businesses and towns would like to have them as decoration,” Eagleton said. “And I began it as a kind of series called ‘Visions in Denton.’”

Multiple reasons for tough UNT schedules Football TY LER O W ENS

Senior Staff Writer Ever y year, Mean Green Athletics has to field questions about why UNT faces teams that are ranked among the top in the country.

The Mean Green football team is gearing up to play the No. 15 team in the country – Kansas State – this weekend and was already beaten by No. 3 Louisiana State 41-14 to open the season.

Likewise, last season, No. 2 Alabama defeated UNT 41-0.

UNT received $750,000 to play Alabama two years ago, and Athletic Director Rick Villarreal confirmed that the school was paid more to play LSU this year.

As part of a home-and-home series, Kansas State is not paying the UNT football team to play.

Football is not the only sport that faces highly ranked nonconference opponents each year.

La st sea son, the sof tbal l team faced opponents like No. 9 Baylor and No. 11 Oklahoma State, the tennis team went toeto-toe with No. 25 Oklahoma and No. 30 Tulsa and the volleyball team squared off with No. 17 Oklahoma. Soccer isn’t any different, as the team plays No. 7 Oklahoma State next week.

Villarreal confirmed that some games provide financial benefits but said that in order for Mean Green Athletics to grow and mature, it needs to play “big time” programs. The lack of tickets sold

Defensive back junior Marcus Trice escapes a tackle from a Texas Southern player Saturday night at Apogee stadium. Over the past two years, the Mean Green football team has played two opponents ranked in the top three in the country, including LSU two weeks ago. for home games also contributes to playing teams for money.

“Some of those games are financial situations. We don’t have Mean Green Club members [that other] schools have because for a

long time here no one supported athletics at all,” he said. “We can go beat a team in our conference, and to our fans and the rest of the country it is just a win, but when you go see what’s happening in

Monroe [Louisiana] right now with a win over Arkansas, it’s huge.”

The Monroe game that he is referring to is the University of Louisiana at Monroe defeating

t h e t h e n - No. 8 A r k a n s a s Razorbacks 34-31 in overtime in the second week of the college football season.

ULM is a Sun Belt Conference member, while Arkansas is a

member of the Southeastern Conference, a conference that has won the last six college football national championships.

K inesiolog y freshman Christian Williams said playing teams purely for financial reasons shouldn’t be the main goal for any Mean Green sports team. “ [Get t ing money] to play certain schools, it’s good for the school, I guess,” Williams said. “I’m not sure if it’s okay to accept the money to get beat down at a game. Financially, it would be good, but it’s not really helping the team to get thrashed around.”

Fr om t h e s p or t s t e a m s ’ perspectives it doesn’t matter who UNT plays, because they focus on playing against the other team rather than focusing on the national recognition the team obtains, said Zach Olen, junior k icker of the football team.

“I think it inspires us [to play tough teams],” he said. “It’s an ‘any-given-Saturday’ type feeling.

Anybody can beat anybody, so that’s our mindset right now.”

Villarreal said that in order to get better athletically, tough opponents need to be on the schedule.

“You have to hire the right coaches, [and] we have coaches,” Villarreal said. “You have to have the right facilities, [and] we have facilities. And then you have to fill the stands so you can dictate your own future, and if you don’t, you have to figure out a way for the budget to work at this level.”

Defender perseveres Benford holds first through concussions basketball reunion

PHOTO BY CARRIE CANOVA/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Kelsey Hodges played in the FC Dallas system over the summer. Hodges is a defender at UNT. Profile RYNE GANNOE

Senior Staff Writer On the soccer field, junior defender Kelsey Hodges dons a thick black headband.

Hodges said the band isn’t only for style.

“The main reason why I wear it is because I’ve had three concussions in the last four or five years,” Hodges said.

She has worn it since her senior year of high school after her first concussion.

“I’m kind of known for it [the headband] now, but I don’t really know why,” she said. “I guess it’s because I’m the only one who wears one.”

The headband-brandishing heroine was able to get past the concussions to rack up several accolades last season, including Sun Belt Conference Player of the Week honors while making first team All-Sun Belt.

This season she has already been

named SBC Defensive Player of the Week after the doubleheader against Oral Roberts and Missouri State and was named the Sun Belt preseason Defensive Player of the Year.

Hodges’ mother, Ann Hodges, said her daughter is “two different people on and off the field.”

Although there are some similarities, like her daughter’s focus and concern for others, her tough attitude and aggression are things she leaves on-field.

Kelsey Hodges attributed her on-field passion to an ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injury she had four years ago. She was sidelined for six months.

“I always keep in mind I don’t know how long I’m going to be able to play soccer,” Kelsey Hodges said. “I just go after it. I can be a little hardcore sometimes and play really aggressive on the field.”

Off the field, Kelsey Hodges said

she is pretty quiet but loves to joke around with her friends and teammates, especially sophomore goalkeeper Jackie Kerestine.

“She’s still a kid at heart,” Ann Hodges said. “She likes to have fun, play games and play pranks.”

When she’s not on the soccer field, Kelsey Hodges said that she and her three roommates, junior defenders Tori Adamé, Shelley Holt and Allison Guderian, often explore their culinary talent.

“We have a fun time cooking and baking together,” she said. “Me and Tori are usually the guinea pigs that try all the cookies, cakes and stuff Shelly and Ally cook.”

This of fseason Kelsey Hodges, alongside teammates senior forward Michelle Young and senior forward Katelyn Ross, played for FC Dallas’ Women’s Premier Soccer League team. The WPSL is a semi-pro league with aspirations of creating a national professional women’s soccer league.

While playing for FC Dallas, WPSL Club Director Chris Ring said she brought a new dimension to the defense.

“The No. 1 thing that she brought is a physicality we didn’t have before,” Ring said. “In her tackling and in her aggression, she is exactly what you want in a defender.”

Kelsey Hodges’ goal is to play post-collegiate soccer, even if that means going overseas.

“I don’t want to look back on it and regret not trying,” she said.

Basketball

CAITLY N A LVAR ADO

Intern In an effort to build relationships with current and former basketball players, men’s head basketball coach Tony Benford held the first-ever North Texas Re c og n it ion C eremony on Saturday.

Players from as early as 1941 and as recent as 2000 from across the state were invited to attend the family reunion-type event.

Benford is taking over for Johnny Jone s, the sec ondwinningest coach in UNT ’s history, after Louisiana State University offered Jones the head coaching position on its men’s team. Holding the event in his first year as head coach is a way to build relationships with current players as well as former players.

“We are a family, and we are all in this together,” Benford said. “This is their alma mater. We want them to embrace not only this team but the university.”

The event allowed current players to hear stories from alumni about how the university was in an entirely different era.

Although the university isn’t the same school that former point guard Ron Miller attended in 1963, Miller said he is eager to see what the upcoming season holds for the team. Miller attended UNT during a time of segregation, on a much smaller campus.

“Back when I played, [the stadium] had windows, and people

Maybe we can fill the stadium like we used to.”

The recognition ceremony not only involved the basketball team, but athletes from other sports as well.

Former UNT athlete Ernie Kuehne Jr., part of the group that raised $3 million dollars in 30 days for the new practice facility, was also in attendance.

“I came here a track man, left a student, came back thinking I would help out golf, but now all I can say is I am definitely a basket-

ball man,” Kuehne said. “My dream is to fill that arena every night.”

Even four-time Super Bowl Champion and UNT alumnus Charles “Mean Joe” Greene talked with Benford about the coach and player relationship. Benford said Greene told him to think outside of the box, which led to the inception of the recognition ceremony.

“Those guys put a lot of sweat and tears into the Super Pit and the Snake Pit,” Benford said. “I want my guys today to know that those guys have had success here and are successful not only in basketball, but successful in life by getting an education from North Texas.”

No down time for UNT between tournaments Volleyball

B RET T M EDEIROS Staff Writer

After coming off the Mean Green Volleyball Classic, where the team won 2-2, UNT (9-4) will play the Prairie View A&M Panthers (2-9) in Denton for the second time this season.

This will be the third time in head coach Ken Murczek’s tenure that the t wo teams will meet.

UNT leads the all-time series

16-1 with the most recent win on Aug. 24 in Denton. The Mean Green won 3-0.

Even though the two teams have already played one another this year, Murczek said getting game experience for the players is more beneficial than practicing against each other.

“In the preseason I want to play a lot. We have seven new players this year,” Murczek said.

“Sometimes playing a match is

more productive than practice.”

The Mean Green is working on one of its best starts in the program’s histor y, but is still coming off of a tournament where it experienced its only losing streak of the season.

“We get only 28 dates to use in the preseason, and it’s hard to get matches, especially at home,” Murczek said. “Whenever you can get one at home, you want to take it. They owed us one from last

year when we visited their place.”

T h i s s e a s on, U N T ha s thrived off the performance of junior middle blocker Courtney Windham, who not only leads the team in blocks but also leads the Sun Belt Conference.

Windham’s transformation from last year is credited to a change of position from outside hitter to middle blocker, a position she’s been trained to play since the second grade.

“It really is nice to be back in my element,” Windham said.

“All types of games are going to help us get ready for conference play. Yeah, it’ll be nice to breeze through preseason, but we get where we want to be because of preseason and working through it.”

Although the previous matchup against the Panthers ended with a 3-0 sweep by the Mean Green, PVAMU is not a team to sleep on.

A strong backcourt has allowed the Panthers to out-dig its opponents by a full dig-per-set average.

“We expect them to be a very scrappy team,” redshirt freshman outside hitter Analisse Shannon said. “Because of that we need to expect the ball to be returned over the net in really every way possible.”

The match will start at 5:00 p.m. today in the Volleyball Center at the Mean Green Village.

of the new Sterling development?

“It’s very strange. I’m mainly at Discovery Park, so I don’t notice the development. I grew up in Denton, so the huge apartment complex seems out of place.”

Although we’ve made great strides in the last few years when it comes to hosting engaging new student orientations and campus-sponsored events – not to mention the explosive game day tailgating at that shiny new slab of stadium across the highway – it still seems like tempting UNT students to take off their headphones and sunglasses and actually do something on campus for once is tougher than herding squirrels through the Library Mall.

The difficulty probably comes from the university’s reputation as a commuter school, with many students content to hit their classes and speed back home to jobs, families and lives that don’t

revolve around watching movies in the Lyceum and grooving to jazz in the One O’Clock Lounge.

But even the most non-traditional students should know what they’re missing out on. The issue goes way beyond social events and free food: many of the services every student is entitled to can help boost grades and pave the way to a better future.

First of all, the UNT Media Library is practically an ancient legend told in hushed tones around a campfire, considering the lack of students on campus who can actually tell you where it is, let alone what it offers.

Here’s the lowdown: the Media

That last part should come as a shock to a lot of uninterested students: UNT will let you borrow their Xbox 360.

I don’t care how jaded you are about tuition increases and student loan debt, that’s a pretty sweet deal. Besides, every student pays $16.50 per credit hour to access the university’s library services, so why not get your money’s worth?

The UNT Career Center can help undergraduate and graduate students explore their career options after college, write solid resumes and prepare for stressful job interviews. The center also hosts online listings for available jobs in the area, a critical service many students have never even used.

In a time when colleges in Texas are being urged to “trim the fat,” it’s more important than ever to get involved and show the higher-ups that these hidden gems on our campus aren’t completely ignored.

Teacher strike shows flaws in education One of the hottest news stories this week is the ongoing strike of the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU). At 8:15 a.m. Monday, the union went on strike for the first time in 25 years. On any other occasion, I’m a champion for the common worker, but this strike can only highlight the failures of a government-monopolized education system.

The lack of real competition in modern education has driven test scores down, while the federal government pumps in money hand over fist.

We continue to increase the funding poured into this broken system, and we have nothing to show for it.

It is time for us to destroy the U.S. Department of Education and build a new system of education that sensibly utilizes funding without sacrificing progress.

What are the CTU’s demands?

Most casual viewers will assume that they are perfectly reasonable, but the news media’s coverage of the strike has obscured some basic facts – particularly the fact that money has continued to pour into Chicago’s failing public schools in recent years.

Chicago teachers have the highest average salary of any American city, at $76,000 a year before benefits. The average family in the Chicago only earns $47,000 a year. Yet the teachers rejected a 16 percent salary increase over four years, a particularly serious act at a time when most families are not getting any raises or are perhaps even unemployed.

Teachers pay only three percent of their health care expenses, and out of every new dollar set aside for public education in Illinois in the last five years, a full 71 cents has gone to teacher

retirement costs. Make no mistake, this is a city being bled dry by the exorbitant benefits packages negotiated by previous elected officials.

This issue goes beyond dollars: it’s about sense. Our education system is falling down around us, and the cause is No Child Left Behind and the continuing inf luence of the behemoth that is government education. Why are our local officials – and more importantly, students’ parents – no longer allowed to inf luence what is being taught in the classroom?

We have one set of standards that applies to all 50 states. That’s 50 different cultures being held to one specific, narrow standard. We must take education back to the drawing board. By creating a market for education, we can create competition by allowing for more charter, private and parochial schools.

Only by these principles can we see real progress and success emerge in the field of American education.

No inoculation against ignorance, science finds The common response to scandalous current events is an impassioned cry for someone to “think of the children.” This doesn’t always whip up the panic that makes for sweet, sweet ratings – I’m not convinced of an epidemic of hand sanitizerchugging teens “sweeping the nation” – and often, matters requiring real concern are overlooked.

This is the case with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s newly released epidemiological figures for 2011.

Last year, the United States experienced 222 cases of measles, an unprecedented 200 percent increase from 2010.

An effective vaccine for the measles has existed for more than 40 years. What could possibly be responsible for these new outbreaks?

Our culprit is the destructively ignorant magical thinking of “alternative medicine,” a billion-dollar industry throwing a wrench into medical and scientific progress. The idea that vaccination and the developmental disorder autism are somehow linked is a dangerous, unfounded myth continually propagated by the paranoid, the uninformed and those desperate to understand their child’s disorder.

This last category is the only deserving of sympathy, as any parent of a autistic child knows. The devastating reality of autism’s rapid onset in toddlers creates an understandable desire for parents to find a cause, and vaccines are easy to blame.

Worse still, anti-vaccine hysteria is trendy among the Hollywood crowd, with actress Jenny McCarthy at the front of the pack. McCarthy, whose son has been diagnosed with autism, exploits her fame as a platform to spread deadly ignorance regarding vaccines, while pimping her own self-help books and “miracle diets” which she claims healed her son’s condition.

There isn’t enough space to list every lie these con artists present as fact, but it’s nice to at least refute the origin of these outrageous conspiracies.

Andrew Wakefield purposefully manipulated data for money to serve the interests of his litigious financial backers. His 1998 study was retracted after being savaged for its inaccuracy, and Wakefield lost his license to practice medicine. Zero studies have found a connection since.

The so-called culprit for autism onset, the MMR vaccine, was removed from use in Japan in 1993. Despite this fact, autism rates in the country have continued to rise.

There is no middle ground for this ignorance. These diseases were wiped out for a reason, and any attempts to unleash them on our planet once again are shortsighted and cruel.

Some pediatricians refuse to treat unvaccinated children, and public schools occasionally ban unvaccinated students from attending during outbreaks of preventable disease. This is certainly “unfair,” but wrong? I certainly don’t think so.
