Former UNT employees accused of swindling cash A SHLEY GRANT

Senior Staff Writer

Five former UNT College of Information employees have been indicted by a grand jury for an alleged scheme to swindle about $75,000 from the university over two years. Four of the former employees have been charged with engaging in organized criminal activity, a first-degree felony that a carries a possible sentence of five years to life in prison: John Leonard Pipes, 57, Tisha Slage, 58, Lindsey

Collings, 31, and Theresa Jackson, 51. Diane Green, 56, was indicted for theft charges, said Denton County First Assistant District Attorney Jamie Beck. UNT Police began investigating the alleged scheme on Sept. 30 of last year after responding to an anonymous tip, said Kelley Reese, assistant vice president for University Relations, Communications and Marketing. The UNT Police Department did not respond to requests for comment.

Reese said that Collings, who held various positions over the course of her three-year career at UNT and was fired in January, allegedly received payments totaling $62,613 from the fall of 2009 to the summer of 2011 for work she did not perform. Slagle and Pipes, Collings’ supervisors at the College of Information, have been accused of knowingly approving falsified timesheets for Collings, Reese said. Collings’ Facebook page lists

Slagle, who was budget officer at the college, as her mother. Pipes is Collings’ ex-stepfather, Reese said. Jackson, the college’s budget office assistant, had an unspecified hand in approving the falsified time sheets, Reese said. Green, Pipes and Slagle were arrested earlier this month, between Sept. 2 and Sept. 4, Beck said. Their cases are pending. “The other two co-defendants have sealed indictments and have yet to be arrested,” Beck said.

According to De nton County Jail records, bail was set at $20,000 each f o r S l ag le a n d P ip e s DIANE and $15,000 GREEN for Green. All three have since posted bail. Green’s theft charge stems from an accusation that she received $12,794 for uncompleted work from the spring and summer

Adult learners take education seriously

Flames on Fry Street

Fire trucks partially blocked off Fry Street when a suspected electrical box fire on the first level of the Fry Street parking garage caused firefighters to evacuate a building at about 8:15 p.m. Wednesday night. Denton Fire Department Battalion Chief Brad Fuller said a possible shortage occurred in or near an electrical box and some power was cut off. MacDaddy’s restaurant was shut down during its soft opening preview night while firefighters investigated, MacDaddy’s Director of Operations Mike Burdick said. “We just saw smoke coming out of the corner,” Burdick said. A fire marshal will inspect the building for safety, Fuller said.

The year is 1992, and Gretchen Spisak, 18, is a freshman at the University of Toledo. Young, restless and exhausted from partying the night before, she chooses to skip class for the day. Six months later, Spisak dropped out of college because she just wanted to live her life. Today, Spisak, 38, is a sophomore at UNT. Instead of treating hangovers from the night before, this dedicated student and single mother spends her time earning a bachelor’s degree in special education and raising her 14-year-old son, Joshua, who has been diagnosed with autism. “I had to finish my education for my deceased mother and Joshua,” Spisak said. “But my priorities are different than my priorities when I was 18.” Spisak is an adult learner, a term American adult educator Malcolm Knowles used to describe learners who are older than 25 his study on andragogy,

which focuses on learning strategies for adults. The 2010 U.S. Census tracked a gradual increase in adult learners in the U.S. every year since 1989. In 2009, more than 37 percent of American students were adult learners. The enrollment of adult learners at UNT has decreased in recent years – according to the online UNT Fact Book, from 26,388 in 2009 to 18,747 in 2011 – but these nontraditional students still comprise about half of the more than 35,000 students enrolled at UNT. Dea n of Underg raduate Studies Dale Tampke, who teaches both undergraduate and graduate-level classes, said adult learners are very goaldriven. “They’re driven by the imperatives of the class,” Tampke said. “They’ve taken care of their social need and are at a point of their life where they’re very focused on their education.”

Questions abound after Libyan violence Center counsels,

helps athletes

STAFF & WIRE R EPORTS

An attack at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on Tuesday that killed 4 Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, has left administration officials, politicians and foreign policy experts with more questions than answers. Ten members of the Libyan security forces were killed defending the consulate. The attack appears to have been sparked by protesters swarming the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, Egypt, over a low-budget anti-Muslim film produced in the U.S. However, American officials and other analysts cast doubts on whether or not the attack in Libya was a spontaneous protest, suggesting it may have been a planned assault by al-Qaeda affiliated extremists. President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton quickly condemned the attack. Other officials spoke out against the type of religious denigration featured in the short film that may have provoked the violent protests and attack, while Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney pronounced his disapproval Wednesday morning at what he perceived to be the Obama administration’s decision to “sympathize with those who waged the attacks.” UNT experts weighed in on

COURTESY/MCT how the attacks could affect American foreign policy, stability in the Middle East, religious relations and the upcoming U.S. presidential election. James Meernik, chair of the political science department and an expert on U.S. foreign policy, said Libya’s reaction to the assault bodes well for future international relations, but cautioned that it was difficult to see how events would unfold. “It’s still early in the development, but it’s good to see the Libyan regime condemning the attack and helping with the investigation,” Meernik said.

“It’s still early in the development, but it’s good to see the Libyan regime condemning the attack...”

-James Meernik, chair of political science department

Political science professor J. Michael Greig said in an email that Egypt’s response was troubling for future relations. “The Eg ypt ia n gover nment has been much slower in [condemning the attacks],” Greig said. “Given that Egypt is a major recipient of U.S. foreign aid, I think that you are likely to see

calls in Congress for cutting that aid if the Egyptian response remains so tepid, particularly in an election year.” History professor Nancy Stockdale said that the U.S. would have to be careful in its response.

Valentina Starkova transferred to UNT from Arkansas after her sophomore year. Capitalizing on the new opportunity, she led the team to its second Sun Belt Conference title in two years in 2012. Behind the glory is a woman who believes the mental aspect of sports is just as important as skill and health. So midseason last year, she sought psychology help from the UNT Center for Sport Psychology and Performance Excellence. The UNT center is the only university sports psychology research center in Texas, director Trent Petrie said. The center offers services to athletes and conducts research projects. “Our students get to work with athletes not only on performance enhancement,” Petrie said, “But also on any type of personal issues that might influence them on the field.” The center offers free consultation for UNT athletes, coaches and teams. But they also work extensively with athletes ranging from eight year olds to older athletes training to play at a national level. Some athletes travel up to three to four hours

just for a two-hour consultation. Petrie said the center works with more than half of the teams at UNT – about 150 athletes and coaches a semester, and about three to five community clients a week. Athletes come in with problems such as loss of confidence, anxiety and inability to maintain the right focus. Starkova’s teammate Barbora Vykydalova praised the importance of the psychological consultation. “They have team-building activities that really bond the players together,” Vykydalova said. “When one of the teammates looks down, we can consult with our consultant to find ways to cheer her up.” Petrie said the center’s services inform research projects and vice versa. Doctorate students also write dissertations that focus on different research projects. Consulting positions at the center are exclusive and difficult to get, counseling psychology doctoral student Troy Moles said. Of the 197 people who applied to work for the center last year, only eight were accepted – with only two to four of those accepted into the sports psychology program, Moles said.

Learners Continued from Page 1 While adult learners have their minds solely on learning, traditional students – ages 18 to 21 – tend to focus more on the fun aspects of college, said Kathleen Whitson, a senior lecturer in the counseling and higher education department. “It’s a different focus on what’s important,” Whitson said. “Traditional students want to have a good time while studying, and adult learners want to learn and create the life – then the good time will come.” Studio art assistant professor Laura Beard said she has also

noticed differences between adult learners and traditional students. “The quality of work from older students tends to be better, so it makes the class more challenging for traditional students,” Beard said. “It’s good to have positive role models among their peers so they have someone to look up to.” Spisak said she has noticed s ome you nge r st ude nt s’ tendency to be more distant and cold toward her, but doesn’t let it bother her. Now back in college for round two, she said she has her priorities straight. “Their [traditional students] comments and attitudes are the least of my concerns,” Spisak said. “I’m here for the education.”

Continued from Page 1 “I imagine that people in Eg ypt and Libya are worried that there will be negative consequences for their societies in the context of American retaliation,” Stockdale said. “Whereas the U.S. government must weigh its response in terms of the tenuous geopolitical issues of the region.” She said that those who attacked the embassy in Egypt and the consulate in Libya possibly viewed the anti-Muslim film that

sparked the protests not only as an offensive creation of its maker, but as part of a larger assault on Islam tied with American policy and action in the Middle East. Both Obama and Romney should avoid injecting politics into a foreign crisis, Meernik said. The U.S. will have to act carefully to keep the situation stable, Stockdale said. “The whole notion of diplomatic missions is that they are safe havens, so the attack violates the idea of diplomacy,” Stockdale said. “[The] U.S. will have to operate carefully, though, so as not to escalate an already volatile situation.”

The Student Government Associat ion u na n i mously approved the 2012-2013 fiscal year’s budget at its weekly Senate meeting yesterday. The budget will outline where funds are disbursed for the next year. The 2012-2013 budget proposal, which was created last semester, uses $115,699 from student service fees, $60,000 from the Eagle’s Nest, which allocates funds to student organizations, and $65,000 from Raupe Travel Grants-SSF for a total of $240,699. The SGA’s fiscal year started on Sept. 1, and the budget leaves $11,249 for the summer of 2013. The budget outlines funding for employment, campus involvement, internal operations, public relations, leadership and development, awards and saved money. It has become tradition in recent years to include an additional $5,000 toward Eagle’s Nest in the budget, SGA President Rudy

EMILY BENTLEY College tends to be a budgettightening time for students everywhere, and many students in search of extra cash turn to donating plasma, the colorless part of blood that contains proteins for blood clotting and defends the body against infection. The donated plasma is given to a patient whose body is not making enough of it to adequately fight infections. Plasma and blood are taken from the donor’s body and separated, with plasma being collected and red blood cells returned to the donor’s body. Donors are paid about $20 a donation.

to change that when he begins to formulate a budget for the 20132014 fiscal year. “It’s a lot of money,” Reynoso said. “I don’t see it as a wisehood to have one person in control of that.” The university will absorb any money not spent by SGA during the next fiscal year, Reynoso said.

Pre-international studies freshman Dorothy Silverio was elected as a senator in the College of Arts and Sciences. “I want to be the voice for those who don’t have one [in the CAS],” Silverio said. Interdisciplinary studies senior Sabrina Khan was elected as a senator in the College of Arts and Sciences, and accounting junior Kevin Banke, who has been involved in previous SGA legislation, was elected as a senator in the College of Business. The SGA also discussed the possibility of moving to bimonthly meetings, enforcing time limits for guest speakers and making senators’ attendance at SGA-sponsored events mandatory.

“They only had pink ones,”said Justin Cameron of his bandage, after donating plasma at BioLife Plasma Services, off Brinker Road and Qual Creek Dr. “It’s a couple extra bucks, and it helps,”he said, noting he earned $25 from his second donation this month. Donors are not paid for the plasma, they’re paid for the time they spend donating. Some students have voiced concern that without a cash incentive, the number of donations would drop significantly. “I go back and forth on this issue,” said Kerry Stanhope, assistant director of outreach for UNT’s Student Health and Wellness Center.“I donate blood, and the process is entirely [voluntary]. I volunteer my time and my bodily fluids. However, I understand that people have different life circum-

stances, and it’s important to them that they are compensated for their time.” The FDA does not recommend more than two donations a week, so that the body has time to recover plasma. Centers are required to check antibody and iron levels. Donors must also meet a weight requirement to be cleared to donate and are asked to provide proof of residence and identification. “Most studies have shown no long-term negative effects,” Stanhope said. “Most donors quit because they no longer need the

money, they moved, or it no longer fits into their schedule.” BioLife Plasma Services in Denton instructs donors to pay close attention to their bodies after donating, and does not allow donors to give plasma more than twice a week. “It wasn’t worth it. Health is more important than money,” speech and hearing sciences sophomore Morgan Cote said. According to the American Plasma Users Coalition, plasma donations are necessary to save the lives of many patients.

Volleyball team defeats Prairie View A&M again Volleyball

BRETT MEDEIROS Staff Writer

The UNT volleyball team won its 10th match of the season yesterday against the Prairie View A&M Lady Panthers 3-0 (25-13, 25-12, 25-12). This marks the second time UNT has defeated PVAMU this season, with the first also being a 3-0 sweep Aug. 24. In the first set, the Mean Green (10-3) found itself up 4-3 early and never gave up the lead, winning the set 25-13. UNT finished the set with only two attacking errors, while the Lady Panthers gave the Mean Green eight additional points by committing attacking errors. Head coach Ken Murczek was able to give everyone playing time, as 10 different players found time on the court in the first set alone.

“We were able to try a couple of different things in the match that we may implement this weekend,” Murczek said. Junior middle blocker Courtney Windham and redshirt freshman outside hitter Analisse Shannon led the Mean Green in hitting with a combined four kills on seven errorless attempts. As a team, UNT thrived off its communication. “We did everything we worked on in practice. Even letting the out balls fall out of bounds,” freshman outside hitter Carnae Dillard said. “We just executed really well.” The second set nearly mirrored the first. Although the Mean Green hitting percentage of .259 was not as efficient as its first set percentage of .333, Prairie View helped the cause with its errors.

In the set, the Lady Panthers had more errors than kills, giving UNT a 25-12 victory. The third set proved to be the final set of the match as UNT swept the Lady Panthers after winning 25-12. Heading into the match, UNT was 22nd in the country with 2.78 blocks per set. The Mean Green finished with eight blocks against PVAMU, an average of 2.67 per set led by six blocks from junior middle blocker Karissa Flack. “I want to say I’m surprised with our placing, but I’m really not,” Flack said. “We are a hard-working team and we deserve that ranking.” UNT will now head to Birmingham, Ala., for the Alabama State Tournament, the final tournament of the preseason. The first game will be against Maryland-Eastern Shore (10-1) Friday at 9 a.m.

UNT senior punter Will Atterberry’s love for kicking the football stems from one thing: a sibling rivalry. Ever since his older brother, Zac Atterberry, started teaching him how to kick the ball, Will Atterberry has done everything he can to be better than him. In an effort to save money, Atterberry’s father would send Zac to Ray Guy Kicking Camps, camps designed to improve the skills of kicking football players, and would have Zac teach Will about the things he had learned at the camp. “Basically [kicking] became a sibling kind of thing where we’d have something to do together,” Will Atterberry said. “We’d go out and kick balls, [and it turned into a] sibling rivalry kind of thing, just kind of a clash between us both, but we have fun doing it.” A three-sport athlete growing up, Will Atterberry played football, soccer and baseball until his freshman year at Lewisville High School. Once in high school, he gave up baseball to play soccer, a sport that he has played since he was four years old and still regularly plays during oﬀ-time when he’s not doing homework, playing video games or eating. After winning the starting job as a freshman, Will Atterberry has punted 88 times for 3,812 yards¬ – an average of 43.3 yards per punt – and has never had a punt blocked at UNT. As a yearly contender for the Ray Guy Award, an award for the best punter in collegiate football, Atterberry hopes to bring the award home this year. His goals don’t stop after his

PHOTO BY MICHELLE HEATH/SENIOR STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Senior punter Will Atterberry averaged 44.5 yards a punt against Texas Southern in UNT’s 34-7 win Saturday. Atterberry, who learned how to punt from his older brother, is an early contender for the Ray Guy Award, given to the best punter in college football. collegiate career comes to an end, however. Zac Atterberry, who went undrafted in the National Football League’s 2008 draft out of Lindenwood University, played in a few NFL preseason games with the Chicago Bears. After going unsigned, he went into the jewelry business with Jared, but still finds time to play football with the Denton County Rhinos, an arena football team. Will Atterberry hopes that his thirst to do better than his brother will take him all the way to the NFL. “Ever since I watched my brother play for the Bears in the preseason, I’ve wanted to [play in the NFL],” he said. “He made it to the NFL and played in preseason games. I’d like to one-up him and make it to an actual regular season game. That’s my ultimate goal: to play on Sundays.” If going pro falls through, the applied arts and science major hopes to coach football or soccer at the collegiate level. The common misunderstanding that “punters are not real athletes” only fuels Will Atterberry’s drive to improve and his on-the-field efforts are not lost on his coaches and teammates.

“He means a lot [to the team], his ability to change the field and give our defense a better opportunity to stop [the opponent] and also put our offense in a better spot,” junior kicker Zach Olen said. “He’s just a huge gamechanger.” Head coach Dan McCarney said that he would not trade Will Atterberry for any punter in college football because of his mental toughness and his incessant need to improve every day. “I appreciate his contribution, consistency and productivity, and he just stays as hungry [to improve] as anybody to the football team,” McCarney said. “He won’t flinch if something goes bad. He just has tremendous talent.” When Will Atterberry graduated high school, Zac sent Will a message that read “Don’t be like me, be better than me.” In his last collegiate season, Will’s NFL future will be decided soon. “At this point in his life, if we were the same age right now, he would definitely beat me,” Zac Atterberry said. “At his age now, he’s better than I was. He’s got a better opportunity [to play at the next level].”

Technology, referees are game changing Opinion RYNE GANNOE

Senior Staff Writer Referees are an integral part of every sport. An oﬃcial’s word is ﬁnal law. Technological advances in sports help remove the margin for referee error, and regardless of popular sports fan opinion, referees are human. The Mean Green women’s soccer team overtime loss against nationally ranked Long Beach State came on the end of a challengeable call. During the scoring play on the deciding goal, the team consensus is that a Long Beach State player should have been

called oﬀside. “It was the toughest loss I’ve ever been a part of since I’ve been here,” head coach John Hedlund said. Hedlund said he brought the issue to the referee associations and they are “looking into that,” but that it probably wouldn’t change anything. Regardless of the outcome, he was very proud of his team’s performance. While many blown calls have no repercussions – other than an outpouring of hatred from the crowd –every sport needs to embrace the technological advancements.

Four months before Germany and England squared off in 2010 World Cup, the International Football A s s o c i a t i o n RYNE Board voted GANNOE against adding goal-line technology and video replay to professional and international play. FIFA and the International Football Association Board changed their tune after several game-changing officiating mistakes in the 2010 World Cup. Referee Jorge Larrionda denied England’s Frank Lampard the gametying goal in the match against Germany, even though Lampard’s shot clearly crossed the goal line. A disheartened England lost 4-1. After the costly error involving England, and another involving an Argentina player scoring while offsides, the IFAB changed their stance on goal-line technology. While not officially implemented, they have tested and approved two devices: one that creates a low-level magnetic field a microchipped ball would disrupt, and another that is a system of six to eight high-speed cameras set up at different angles around the goal. Major sports like basketball and football already implemented instant replay into the officiating process. Maybe this would slow down the game too much, but between the commercials and network commentary the viewer is guaranteed to see anyway, there is built-in time to review plays. And wouldn’t fans rather they take the time to review that critical play? Soccer is behind the curve, even with the addition of goal-line technology. Replays are not allowed to be a part of an official’s decision-making process. Human error is not an appeal in officiating, it’s a hindrance.

Campus Chat NT Daily Edboard: Nods and Shakes Staff Editorial

What is the most interesting class you’ve taken at UNT and why?

“Macroeconomics. It’s not about numbers but more so human behavior. The professor, Bryan Dickson, genuinely enjoys the subject and more so teaching it. He also brings humor to the class in quirky, fun ways. ”

Brennan Green Sociology junior

“Introduction to women’s studies. I met a lot of cool people with diverse backgrounds who were very open-minded. We had a final project at the end of the semester on lesbianism and media, and just seeing everyone’s opinions was the most interesting part.”

Mary Audrye Gullo English Sophomore

“General psychology. I’ve never studied this type of subject before, and it makes me want to go more in-depth with it. I went in dreading it since it’s a three-hour class, and now I go in looking forward to it.””

Andy Olson

Pre-computer engineering freshman

Nod: The Denton City Council College students at UNT might not always keep up with Denton’s local news, but it would be tough to completely avoid noticing the ongoing debate in town about gas drilling, fracking and other environmental issues taking place within the city. Denton residents are a passionate bunch, no matter what side they’re on, and Tuesday night’s city council meeting was no exception. About 30 residents attended, some armed with signs and banners displaying their support of the town’s moratorium on new gas well development.

It appears that their demonstration had the right effect – the City Council approved a 75-day extension of the moratorium. This effectively halts any new drilling developments, at least until the city finishes drafting new environmental regulations. Despite complaints from at least one company, activists are confident that waiting until new rules are established will allow drilling to take place while still respecting the city’s environmental concerns. Although the Edboard is happy to remain neutral, the Denton City Council deserves a nod for working toward an effective compromise.

Shake: The North Texas “Fast Five” It’s no secret that UNT is having a few money problems, with tightened budgets and a hiring freeze in place to prevent the school from using up their state funding too fast. At a time like this, it’s especially heinous to imagine someone misusing the university’s funds, but on Tuesday a grand jury indicted five former UNT employees for doing just that. Theresa Jackson, Lindsey Collings, John Pipes, Tisha Slagle and Diane Green – former employees of UNT’s College of Information – are accused of participating in a scheme that lifted more than $75,000 from the university’s payroll.

Diane Green was indicted for theft, while the other four were accused of organized criminal activity. Let’s think about this for a minute: if these five employees agreed to divide their plunder equally between them, each “criminal mastermind” would receive around $15,000. Ironically, this is the average yearly salary for a cashier at McDonald’s – one of the only jobs these clowns will be able to find if they’re charged with a felony. The Edboard might be able to give them a harder shake, if only their heist wasn’t such a snooze. If the five standing accused decide to make a career out of these exploits, the least they can do is give us a car chase next time.

Columns

“Local color” needs some greenery You can see a great variety of people by just walking around our campus. Different races, faiths, cultural backgrounds and sexual orientations are represented in equal measure. Endless combinations of different people can be found here, and many of them also wear different combinations of clothes, which is fine by me. I saw a guy wearing a dress and lipstick the other day, and while I was taken by surprise, it didn’t offend me. That’s kind of his prerogative, especially on such a tolerant campus. I also sometimes see fraternity guys wearing their bright polos, and since they kind of all dress the same, I’ve started to think of it as a uniform. They wear these uniforms because they’re proud of their organizations, and sometimes they even put those gaudy Greek letters on it somewhere. I’m pretty sure it would be frowned upon if one frat member wore another fraternity’s t-shirt, and I’m pretty sure that doesn’t happen much. That’s not just because if somebody caught them they’d probably be forced to do something odd – I also believe it’s because they have pride, something the student body at UNT is occasionally lacking. On campus, I see a lot of people wearing memorabilia for other major colleges. I really want to ask them, why are you wearing that University of Texas sweater? You don’t go there, this is the University of NORTH Texas. Walking into class wearing another school’s spirit gear looks pathetic, and to everyone who sees you, it looks like you just didn’t get accepted to the college you wanted. Is it really so bad to be “stuck” in good old Denton?

Rather than a sea of green, it looks like somebody dropped a huge bag of Skittles on campus. I know it’s just a T-shirt to some, but what about the tons of high school students that tour here? Is this UNT, or a school for refugee scholars? Although some students certainly make an effort when they get dressed in the morning, and others just try to make sure the clothes they got off the floor don’t smell too bad, what we wear is definitely a reflection of our outlook. Clothing choice is both a sensibility and an attitude. The attitude students portray when wearing the spirit gear of another university while on campus is that they have very little pride for this school, and that they’d probably rather be somewhere else. You might not care as much as me, but if you don’t respect your university, how do you expect anybody else to?

University’s roosts aren’t just for eagles Quail or chicken may sound like a good entree for dinner, but two species in particular are more important to the Texas ecosystem than meets the eye. The endangerment of the bobwhite quail and prairie chicken could have a critical impact on prairie biodiversity, and the University of North Texas is stepping up to address this problem. Facing quickly dropping populations for both birds, the university’s Department of Biological Sciences sponsors UNT Quail, a research and landowner extension program centering on “America’s greatest game bird”, the northern bobwhite. To learn more about this program and why it was important, I talked to the director of UNT Quail, professor Kelly Reyna, as well as biology assistant professor Michael Allen. What I discovered about these Texas birds certainly surprised me, and better yet, it got me thinking. Texas prairie chickens are currently considered “vulnerable to endangered,” and northern bobwhites are considered “near threatened.” This means that direct conservation efforts are needed to prevent the extinction of both species. In order to preserve both birds, the state must mandate protected habitats and sponsor efforts to raise specimens in captivity to boost their numbers. UNT Quail hopes not only to promote research in conservation efforts and formulate proposals to sustain endangered populations, but also to raise awareness among UNT students and area policymakers about the fragility of these birds. The program also works successfully with Texas ranchers in order to measure which ecological practices are getting the best results.

“I thought I would build the program to include 50,000 acres. Within eight months, I now have 400,000 acres with more than 40 ranches. We are getting good habitat on the ground, changing land-use practices to be more conducive to quail recovery and educating the public with quail symposia. The only downside is we need more funding to keep up the good work,” Reyna said. UNT Quail has discovered that habitat loss, modified land-use practices, increased vector species and harsh climates are suspect factors that have contributed to the decline of bobwhite quail and prairie chicken. The center is always happy to accept donations and other assistance from concerned individuals, and once you learn the truth about these endangered species, it’s hard not to see how critical this program is to UNT’s philosophy of conservation.
