“Students are not an interruption to our work. They are the purpose of it.” That’s the quote attached to the end of every email from Maureen McGuinness, UNT dean of students and vice president of student affairs. She borrowed the line from New England businessman L.L. Bean and swapped out the nouns and pronouns, but said it perfectly sums up her office’s mission. “I adapted the quote because it’s quite fitting to what we do every day,” McGuinness said. “It’s quite fitting.” Tucked between the Student Government Association Office and the lounges on the third floor of the Union, the Dean of Students Office serves as a student advocate, navigating students through the trials and difficulties of college life. Last year the office handled 209 complaints, helped 329 students

“seeking options and solutions” and assisted about 170 students considering withdrawal. In dire circumstances, the office even ensures that no student ever has to go hungry. “I look at the DOS office as an area [that can help] no matter what the issue the student is dealing with,” McGuinness said. “I want to make sure the student gets to where they need to go or receives the help the need.” The service took shape when McGuinness took the helm as Dean of Students in January 2011. When she first took the job, McGuinness said she occasionally heard stories of students struggling to keep up with tuition, rent and book fees, sometimes to the point that they were skipping meals. After conducting research, she put together a flier of local services and groups that offer free food every day of the week.

UNT students, professors Director appointed to study water contamination statewide rehab council JULIE BIRD Staff Writer

It’s easy to see that humans have an enormous impact on the environment, but the negative effects of civilization and its byproducts on reservoirs and aquatic life are often overlooked. Students and professors at UNT’s Aquatic Toxicology Lab are hoping to change this by researching the effects of mercury and various chemicals on fish in Texas’ lakes and streams. As the population of North Texas grows, more and more chemicals are being put into the water, biology professor Thomas La Point said. “We take medications and antibiotics and use other personal products that go down the sewer,” he said. “About 98 or 99 percent of it is treated by sewage plants, but about one

percent gets through.” T h at one percent can have an effect on fish, snails and other species living in reservoirs. AARON T h e l a b ROBERTS has tested fish from streams in North Texas and found that there are noticeable amounts of some chemicals accumulated in their tissue, although the fish haven’t shown any significant negative side effects yet, La Point said. Researchers in the lab have also looked at the effects of mercury on fish and hope to help limit human exposure to mercury by educating the community. “This research is extremely important to not only Texas or North Texas, but to all of

the world,” said biology senior Mark Vernon, who works in the lab. “Just think about how much fish the world consumes.” Mercury is a neurotoxin that can dramatically affect the nervous system. The metal does not accumulate significantly in water, but instead builds up in the tissues of fish, biology professor Aaron Roberts said. Fish that are lower on the food chain tend to have lower mercury concentration, since they don’t absorb mercury from other fish. The state of Texas sets advisory warnings for consuming fish from specific bodies of water based on the mercury content of the fish muscle. However, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends a much lower maximum mercur y content than the state.

Gov. Rick Perry appointed Martha Garber, a licensed professional counselor and director of applied research and development at the University of North Texas, to the Rehabilitation Council of Texas late this summer. The RCT works closely with the Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services, or DARS, on policies, planning and how to best distribute resources to help Texans with disabilities. “I would like to see Texans with disabilities receive the best possible service that is individualized for each person,” Garber said. As a young adult, Garber, who was born without a left hand, was a client of a rehabilitation agency that

helped her learn how to function in school and the workplace with a disability. The agency provided the training and help she needed to get a bachelor’s degree and start her career. “My degree was in another field, but I ended up coming back to rehabilitation because it’s my passion,” she said. Garber has been named chair of the council’s planning and review committee and has also been asked to serve on its executive committee, where she will work with the rest of the council to advise DARS on policy and make rehabilitation services more effective. “The vocational rehabilitation program helps build an individual plan to help you get to your goal,” Garber said. “It gives you skills to live your life as independently as possible.”

MARTHA GARBER Thomas Evenson, dean of the College of Public Affairs and Community Service, said Garber’s appointment to the council “elevates the stature of the rehabilitation program through the state” and inspires confidence about the quality of the program.

Development continues at Denton’s Rayzor Ranch A SHLEY GRANT

Senior Staff Writer

Residents of Denton’s north side have already seen the beginning of a makeover intended to bring housing, retail and entertainment spots to the Rayzor Ranch development near University Drive and Interstate-35 E. The area’s facelift, following the examples of neighboring cities such as Plano and Frisco with walkable new developments, is still underway, and is scheduled for completion by early 2013. Separated into two sides, north and south, the 412-acre mixeduse development will be a game changer for the city, Mayor Mark Burroughs said. “The amount of improvePHOTO BY CARRIE CANOVA/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER ments that are going to be made to this area are in the hundreds Rayzor Ranch, located off of University Drive and I-35, is in the process of expanding.

percent completed and will eventually be occupied by Petco, Kohl’s, Famous Footwear and Joann’s Fabric and Craft Store. Currently open and anchoring this side of the development are the retail giants Walmart Supercenter and Sam’s Club, along with several other businesses including GameStop and Freebirds World Burrito. Erica Sullivan, economic development analyst for the city, said Walmart is valued at $15.4 million and Sam’s Club at $12.2 million. Rayzor Ranch’s southern half, Rayzor Ranch Town Center, will have a retail component, but will be designed like a town center with parks, a museum, a movie theater and restaurants as well as single-family homes, townhomes and apartments, Sullivan said. “It’s going to be like a small town within a town,” she said. “Theoretically, some people won’t even have to use their cars.”

To help empower and feed students, she has given out canned food so that struggling students can cook for themselves. To protect their confidentiality, students who use the service were not available to be interviewed. Political science senior Jeremy Castro, who works in the Dean of Students’ Office, said the service once helped a woman who had gone three days without eating. The office gathered restaurant vouchers and bags of food for her within minutes.

McGuiness said they also help students who don’t have a place to sleep and have financial restrictions. The office trusts students and relies on an honor system for these extreme cases, but may do a little research and ask students a few questions, McGuinness said.

Castro has only been working in the office for a year, but said he already recognizes the critical importance of the services it offers. “A lot of time we are the difference between people staying in school and dropping out.” Castro said. “They have the opportunity within their grasp, and they just need a little help.” For more information on services offered by the Dean of Students Office, visit Union Room 319.

SGA votes, appoints new senators DANIEL BISSELL Staff Writer

The Student Government Association Senate met Wednesday afternoon to discuss the senatorial application process and to appoint new senators to the organization. The main topic of discussion revolved around amendments proposed to legislation regarding the senator application process. The senatorial approval requirement was amended to require a two-thirds majority vote from the senate. New senators previously required the names and student ID numbers of 10 students from the candidate’s respective department – that number has now been raised to 25. An amendment to allow senators to petition to represent a school that they are not a part of, as long as they acquire 100 signatures from that college, was unanimously upheld. A proposed amendment to include transfer students was not upheld. The deadline for senators’ application was also changed from 48 hours to one week prior. Another amendment stating

Jeffrey Lynch, senator for the College of Information, argues a “better vetting process” is necessary if transfer students are allowed to become senators, a divided amendment which ultimately passed during the Student Government Association meeting Wednesday in Sage Hall. that senators seeking appointment to a non-Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science Senate seat must have completed at least 12 college credit hours was met with some debate. An amendment to the article was proposed to require that those 12 credit hours be earned at UNT. After a period of discussion, the amendment was upheld by the senate. Two new senators were appointed at the meeting.

Business sophomore Nehlin Mehra and music freshman Troy Elliott were voted in as the newest members of the student senate. “I was in student government in high school, and I hope to bring that experience here to UNT,” Mehra said. Elliott is the first senator this semester to represent the College of Music, a distinction he expressed excitement about. “I feel really good,” Elliott said.

“The College of Music is really underrepresented. UNT’s music school is world-renowned. It’s one of the most prominent colleges at this university, and I’m really glad that I got appointed.” SGA President Rudy Reynoso said the meeting had gone smoothly. “Tonight’s senate meeting wasn’t as efficient as it could have been, but we took care of business,” Reynoso said.

Student named director of DCTV CHELSEA STRATSO Editor-in-chief

The Denton Community Television committee of UNT faculty and staff met earlier this month to select the first student news director of the public access channel operated by the Mayborn School of Journalism. Broadcast journalism senior Ashley Barshaw was selected for the unpaid position, which will last one semester. Barshaw is also the lead producer for the NTDaily TV newscast. Nann Goplerud, chair of the Department of News and the station manager, has been working with Barshaw to develop the new position’s role and duties. She said Barshaw would be able to help students cross over into multiple news platforms. “She’s very smart and very talented,” Goplerud said. “She’ll help them out, answer questions and guide them in terms of helping them produce things.” Barshaw transferred to UNT

Broadcast journalism senior Ashley Barshaw was selected as the first stuent news director of Denton Community Television. from Central Texas College in Killeen in fall 2010 to pursue a degree at the Mayborn School of Journalism. She began working with the newscast last spring. Media technology manager Chuck Weatherall, a faculty member on the DCTV committee, said he instantly noticed how

enthusiastic Barshaw was about becoming a producer. “She had all the background that we wanted,” Weatherall said. “She really wanted to reach out and be a part of the community, and she understands that that’s our goal.” Barshaw hopes to expand the

reach of the station by providing a variety of news content and programming, including talk shows, sports analysis and a new Spanish-language newscast, NTDaily en Español. “We can reach an audience we haven’t been able to reach, and it’s an important audience,” she said. “It broadens our audience and our credibility for people to see that we’re branching out, making changes and that we’re trying to be innovative.” Barshaw said she wants to use the opportunity to work with students who are interested in pursuing a journalism degree. She welcomes any student who wants to observe the process of producing newscasts. “It gives students an opportunity to get a feel for what it is like in the newsroom before deciding between print and broadcast,” Barshaw said. “It’s tense, it’s stressful, it’s overwhelming and it’s invigorating all at the same time.”

Sun Belt series part two: Mean Green football TYLER OWENS

Senior Staff Writer

When the Mean Green closes the book on the 2012 football season, it will also close the book on its time in the Sun Belt Conference. On July 1, the Mean Green will join Conference USA and will play teams that are more geographically relevant to the North Texas area. “It’s going to be great for the school,” redshirt senior Ch ristopher By nes said. “Conference USA is way better than the Sun Belt, and it’ll bring in more athletes [and] more fans, so I think it’s a good move for the Mean Green.” Though the team is 48-88 in its 12 years in the SBC and a lot of fans may consider UNT’s time in the conference as a low point for the program, the Mean Green was relatively successful in its early SBC years. From 2001 to 2004 the Mean Green won the SBC and participated in the New Orleans Bowl four consecutive years under former head coach Darrell Dickey, who earned four straight SBC Coach of the Year Awards. During that time, the Mean Green offensive attack was led by running back Patrick Cobbs, who had 4,050 rushing yards and 36 touchdowns during his time at UNT.

“When I first got to North Texas in 2001, that first year we won a Sun Belt title,” Cobbs said. “It was great to be in the Sun Belt, and for four years all the Sun Belt knew was North Texas being champions. Here lately, it hasn’t been so much.” In 2005 UNT went from the best team in the conference, with a 7-0 conference record, to the worst, with a 2-5 record, and failed to win a home game that season. Cobbs attributes the lack of on-field success to a complacent feeling within the program. “When we were freshmen and we first got there, no one really expected anything of us, but I think some of the younger guys coming in didn’t know anything but winning,” he said. “I think we kind of hit a lull in there, and we just haven’t recovered from it yet.” Following the 2006 season, Dickey was relieved of his duties with three years left on his contract, and the Mean Green hired Todd Dodge, former head coach of Southlake Carroll High School, to lead the team. Dodge accumulated a 6-37 record during his time with the Mean Green, the lowest winning percentage in school history and was fired in the middle of the 2010 season. “There are good things that Todd did that we are thankful for and appreciate, but as far as what’s going on between the sidelines,

we need to be better,” Athletic Director Rick Villarreal said. From 2005 to 2010 the Mean Green hovered around the bottom of the SBC, until current head coach Dan McCarney was hired in 2011 and the team moved up to fifth in the conference. “We haven’t done well because there was so much confusion and too much going on that we just went on a losing streak,” redshirt freshman running back Antoinne Jimmerson said. “That’s why we’re here now. We got a new coach, so we build a new team and a new family.” During its time in the SBC the Mean Green has 82 All-Sun Belt players and three straight Player of the Year award winners in former defensive lineman Brandon Kennedy (2002 and 2003) and former running back Jamario Thomas (2004). The move to C-USA in July will provide UNT with an opportunity to start off fresh in a new conference. “I think it’s a good move as far as getting more media exposure, and getting more TV exposure and letting everyone in the nation know who North Texas is,” junior defensive back Hilbert Jackson said.

Mean Green needs to start Midnight Madness Opinion DAVE CARSON Intern

In my second semester at UNT, I have to say that I am stunned at some of the little things that we don’t do to support our athletic programs. I believe it is my job to spark interest in the concept of Midnight Madness. Midnight Madness started back in 1971 at the University of Maryland. At 12:03 a.m. the basketball team went for a 1.5-mile run with 3,000 fans following them. It has now evolved into a massive pep rally that students enjoy across the country to officially kick off the basketball season. This celebration of basketball on that special night can put UNT right next to some h ig h prof i le schools t hat take part in this. Michigan State, the University of North Carolina, the University of Kentucky and the University of Connecticut all participate in this celebration. Th ree years ago a little school in Indiana called Butler started doing a small Midnight Madness, and the following season they made it to the NCAA Championship game. That same school even went back to the championship

“Can UNT be the next Butler? Midnight Madness could help kick-start that process.” game the following year. Can UNT be the next Butler? Midnight Madness could help kick-start that process. Everything has a cost, but how much could this really cost UNT? We’re not looking for a reason to party, we are looking for a winning basketball program with which we can stand proudly in our Mean Green shirts as our teams walk off the court in victory. By not hosting Midnight Madness, the school isn’t only hindering the Mean Green fans, it’s also not helping the coaches land recruits. The potential recruits could see the pride of UNT. Loud music, cheerleaders, dancers, the players showing off their skills and coaches showing personality could help boost recruiting. Th is season bot h Mea n Green teams have a lot to prove. Last year, the men’s team was one win away from making an appearance at the NCAA tournament, and the

wo m e n ’s team was one win away f r om posting a .500 record. Both of these teams are on DAVE the threshold CARSON of taking their game to the next level. I want to remind fans about the last game of last season when we saw Tony Mitchell on the court in a shower of confetti, with his head hung down being consoled by assista nt coach Shaw n For rest after a 74-70 loss to Western Kent ucky in the Sun Belt Championship game. This is our last year in the Sun Belt, so let’s crank up the music, throw down some sick dunks and take the Sun Belt Championship on our way to Conference USA. If we do not host Midnight Madness we are telling our team that March Madness means nothing.

longer donate money to organizations deemed anti-gay by protestors, and from now on, it will leave the gay marriage debate to the political arena. It’s unclear what spurred this change in policy, but this decision will certainly reduce the chances of another public relations fiasco striking the business. It appears that the restaurant has learned at least one lesson: gay dollars and straight dollars are both legal tender, and it’s probably in the best interest of the company to get as many of both as possible. Whether it’s shrewd financial dealing or genuine change, Chic-fil-A’s compromise certainly deserves a nod.

Shake: A real kitchen nightmare Chefs aren’t generally known as violent people. Sure, there are a few Gordon Ramsay types who give the business a bad rap, but most people would like to think that a talented chef is mostly driven by the everyday pleasures of crafting good food and not an uncontrollable thirst for murder. Sadly, this was not the case in the trial of David Viens, a Los Angeles chef accused of murdering his wife in October 2009. The basics of the crime might be unfortunate enough, but the most shocking details of the story emerged today during his trial. Jurors listening to a taped confession by the culinary crook were likely

shocked by the revelation of the gory details of how Viens said he disposed of his wife’s body: he allegedly boiled her in a 55-gallon drum for four days straight. Or, to be more precise, he “cooked her,” as he states in the confession. One can only imagine the logistics of this recipe for disaster, considering the massive amounts of heat necessary to boil that much water – and wife – for more than half a week. It’s unclear if this gutsy gourmet actually planned to consume the final product, but just to be safe, the Edboard would like to give both Viens and the basic concept of cannibalism a thoroughly unappetizing shake.

Coach McCarney: Celebrate victory with us this season Here we go again! There has been such a great buzz on campus over the past couple weeks, after we won our home-opener against Texas Southern on Sept. 8 and now, after going toe-to-toe with the No. 15 team in the country, Kansas State, last week. This fan base is growing each day, and I know that is in large part due to the excitement that the student body has created on campus and around town. While we have lost two games, the losses came to the No. 2 and No. 15 team in the nation. This week is a huge game for North Texas, as we continue the process of developing a program that you can be proud of. We begin the Sun Belt Conference race with a game against Troy, a team that dominated our conference from 2006 to 2010. We beat them last year in their stadium 38-33, and I’m sure they will be trying to return the favor this year. North Texas has only won two of the nine meetings with Troy, and we have never beaten them two years in a row. It’s time to change that! Troy has one of the best offenses in the nation, and it will be a test for our defense. We need your help to make it hard on them. Did you know North Texas has not been 2-2 after its first four games since 1997?! In 15 years, this program has never given its students and fans a reason to be excited about the season after the first four games. With your help, we can get a win this week and

improve to 2-2, giving all of you a reason to be excited for each of the last eight games. This team is growing up and getting better right before your eyes. I can’t tell you how excited they were for the student turnout at the home opener! YOU are the pulse of Apogee Stadium, and everyone on our team – players and coaches – thrives off of your energy. Together we ca n make th is season into one of the great stories in college football, and it will be a fun ride along the way! Go Mean Green! In last year’s matchup against Troy, the Mean Green won in a 38-33 shootout on the road. UNT’s offense put up over 500 total yards of offense while overcoming a 27-24 fourth quarter defecit. Redshirt senior wide receiver Christopher Bynes had seven catches for 134 total yards and a touchdown.

Constitution should reflect our times Sept. 17 was the U.S. Constitution’s birthday. Most of us probably didn’t notice, but we should – because it continues to be a fixed point of both unity and of dissent in our nation today. The Republican-controlled House planned to read the Constitution aloud in its entirety back in January 2011. This didn’t go entirely as planned, but much of the Constitution itself was like that. When it was new, the Constitution was riddled with compromises and imperfections, but the Founding Fathers wisely gave us the ability to amend it to deal with changing needs and realities. And indeed they did, adding 12 amendments by 1803, almost half the current total. The 27th Amendment is as old as that lot, but it just took much longer to be ratified by enough states. The 13th Amendment banned slavery, but we’re still rooting it out today and trying to decide if it’s legal for companies to use slave labor, so long as they do it somewhere else. The 14th Amendment said anyone born in America is a citizen, but people are up in arms about “birthright citizenship” and “anchor babies.” The 24th Amendment forbids poll taxes, which is a large part of why the recent Texas Voter ID law was overturned. This is because it would cost at least $22 to get the identification required to vote, and that’s the same as paying to vote. The 16th Amendment regularized income taxes, which have increased and decreased but are presently at some of the lowest levels since the end of World War II. Anti-suffragettes campaigned against the 19th Amendment and women voting.

The alcohol prohibition of the 18 Amendment was honored more in the breach than the observance, with weekly booze deliveries to the White House, and it was mostly unmourned when repealed by the 21st. The 17th Amendment calls for direct election of Senators but still lets the state legislatures decide how to replace someone if there’s a vacancy. The 23rd lets the District of Columbia vote for President as if it were a state, but it isn’t a state and so they have what is effectively an unelected government making decisions for them, including “taxation without representation.” I could go on. The point is that the beauty of our Constitution is specifically that it is the grounds for debate. We, as a society, have agreed that whatever differences we may have, they must be expressed in terms of that framework of government. It’s far from perfect, and the ways we use it are still evolving, but I believe we’ve made a good start.
