Downtown district draws residential boom Entertainment and retail attract renters BY DREW GAINES Senior Staff Writer

Now that restaurants and music venues have taken root in Denton’s downtown district, more people are calling it home. The 155 acres surrounding Denton’s historic courthouse has seen an influx of residential and commercial development over the past eight months. Much of this has been concentrated on a 0.2 mile stretch of East Hickory and Industrial Streets where new lofts and townhomes are signaling an urban trend for the downtown area. “I think you’re seeing that t h roug hout t he cou nt r y, [moving] to more walkable types of places,” said Lee Ramsey of Links Construction. His company partnered with Denton-based Martino Group to build the Hickory Street Lofts, a three-story, mixed-use complex –– apartments on top with retail and office space below. Since the adoption of the Downtown Master Plan in 2002, a plan to upgrade the Denton downtown area, the city has stressed the need for mixeduse, urban style development. The completion of the A-train in July by the Denton County Transit Authority is expected to be a catalyst for realizing the city’s vision and attracting developers. “Residential space is a key component in downtown,” said Julie Glover, Economic

The gas prices in North Texas increased from 10 to 18 cents overnight. The average on Wednesday was $2.94 and some are already reaching $3 or higher for the first time since 2008.

Gas prices pressure commuters National average at $3.10, highest in three years BY CANDICE LINDSEY Staff Writer

@ntdaily

With gas prices hovering around $3 for the first time since October 2008, commuting students may find less bang for their buck this semester. The national average for a gallon of regular unleaded gas rose to $3.10 on Tuesday according to the American Automobile Association. Texas falls below the national average at $2.95,— sixth lowest in the country. On Tuesday, the lowest gas price recorded in Denton was $2.93 at RaceTrac on University,

followed by $2.94 at RaceTrac on Loop 288, Wal-Mart on Loop 288 and Kroger on Loop 288. Chevron on University hit $3. Sher r ie Bow en, s w i ng manager at RaceTrac on Fort Worth Drive, ta kes a fuel sur vey of seven loca l gas stations twice a day, everyday. Although Bowen says business is “excellent,” the daily survey allows the station to maintain their competitive prices. After checking the local Exxon, QuikTrip, Rudy’s, 7-Eleven, two Shell stations and Valero, Bowen returns to her station to input the numbers to send of f to cor porate. “I input the fuel surveys, then about 20-30 minutes a f ter t hat, t hey’l l tel l us either no price change or to change the price,” Bowen said.

Denton K roger g rocer y stores also offer competitive gas prices with their fuel discounts. Susan Locklin, co-manager at the Loop 288 location, said sales are good and that they’re able to stay on top of that due to the three to 10 cents customers can deduct per gallon by using their rewards shopping card. For some students, a weekly gas budget is necessary in order to balance class and work schedules. Megan Covington, a general studies senior, commutes to UNT from Keller everyday. “It’s at least $50 a week,” Covington said. “That’s just driving there and back… and that’s probably going to go up too.”

For students throughout the Dallas Independent School District, the most important meal of the day will be forgotten no more if district officials have their way. Dallas, along with four other urban school districts across America — Little Rock, Ark., Memphis, Tenn., Orlando, Fla. and Prince George’s County, Md. — will share a $3 million grant aimed to encourage students, particularly those of low-income families, to eat a healthy breakfast at the beginning of every school day. The grant, which is funded by Wa l ma r t, i ntends to enhance the academic and nutritional gains typically associated with the morning meal, according to the initiative put forth by Walmart when the grant’s recipients were named. W hile t he Denton Independent School District was not one of the school districts selected for the Breakfast in the Classroom grant, like Dallas ISD, the district is home to a large percentage of students who tend to skip breakfast, said Laura Brown, supervisor of child nutrition for Denton ISD. “T he major it y of ou r students rarely eat breakfast

at school,” Brown said. While Denton ISD does offer a program for free and reduced meals for low-income families, the financial assistance afforded by the Breakfast in the Classroom grant could allow Dallas ISD to set a new standard in the Dallas-Fort Worth area for emphasizing the importance of the morning meal for students, said Crystal Woods, director of nutrition operations at Dallas ISD. “It’s important that when a student arrives at school, be it elementary all the way up to college, and they have not eaten anything prior to beginning the learning process, their performance tends to suffer,” Woods said. Middle and high schools around Dallas ISD began to experiment this year with breakfast kiosks, much like those found around campus at UNT, Woods said. The kiosks offer muffins, fruits and boxed cereal, making healthy snacks more accessible to students whom Woods said either may not arrive in time for breakfast, or simply are not hungry at such an early hour. Matt Hanna, a political science senior, attributes his lack of a consistent breakfast habit to any number of circumstances. “More often than not, I just don’t have time in the morning nor do I have the money to spend every day or week on groceries,” Hanna said.

A CPAP machine is used to help people with sleep apnea. It has a mask, worn over the nose and mouth, that aids with breathing.

Sleep disorder often undiagnosed By Nicole Balderas Staff Writer

Ma ny st udents snore at night and are tired during the day, yet to most, this is hardly a larming. However, these can be common symptoms of sleep apnea, a treatable but often undiagnosed sleeping disorder. Since the ‘90s, sleep apnea ha s become more w idely diagnosed, but an estimated 90 to 95 percent of people with the sleep disorder still remain undiagnosed today, according to apneos.com. “I have patients that come in here all the time and say, ‘I don’t have trouble sleeping, I don’t know why I’m here,’ and they end up being diagnosed with sleep apnea,” said Lindasa Dav is, manager of the Denton Sleep Disorder Center. This is prima ri ly due to t he fact t hat sleep apnea occurs when a person is, well, sleeping, Davis said. During normal sleep, the mu scles t hat cont rol t he upper airway relax. If these mu scles a re too rela xed, the upper air way becomes na r row a nd some people begin to snore. If the airway is narrowed even more, this ca n cause breat hing dif f ic u lt ie s . T he a i r w a y c a n become completely blocked, at which point t he person stops breathing, experiencing an “obstructive apnea,” Davis said. This can happen up to hu nd reds of t i mes i n one night, causing bad sleep and lethargy — a state of sluggishness, inactivity and apathy — the next day. “My mom had huge difficulties wa k ing me up as a

I remember I got really depressed.” Many students with sleep apnea don’t even know they

have it, because many of the symptoms parallel the side affects of what is considered an average college lifestyle. Some of those symptoms include: excessive day time sleepiness, snoring, morning headaches, and irritability, according to a pamphlet from the Denton Sleep Laboratory. Activities such as late night p a r t y i n g a nd u n he a lt h y eating habits can contribute to sleep apnea. “People with sleep apnea won’t even know that they woke up several times a night, up to 300 for some people,” sa id Doug Hen r y, a A ssociate professor of Medica l Anthropolog y. “It’s usually someone sleepi ng nex t to them who notice that they are gasping for air in the middle of the night.” It’s important to pay attention to your body to see if these symptoms are recurring and frequent, Henry said. More serious consequences

Davis encouraged anyone who believes he or she may have a sleeping disorder to get tested. “It’s the price of a regular office visit to come in and see [if you have sleep apnea]. Our website offers a test to rate your sleep cycle,” Davis said. In the months since beginn i ng t reat ment, Bau ldw i n said he has noticed significant changes in his performance and attention span. “Since being diag nosed, I ca n t h i n k more clea rly, my shor t ter m memor y is en ha nced a nd I ca n ma ke decisions more quickly,” said Bauldwin. “It’s very similar to ADHD, to be honest, when I’m not wel l rested. I get distracted very easily, forget things instantly, but when I have good sleep, I can hold a train of t hought and get things done.”

Kevian McGar y, a business junior, commutes to UNT from Mesquite. McGary says there is no doubt that the rising prices will affect his wallet, but will not a f fect his attenda nce. “Regardless of how gas prices a re look ing, I’m going to cont inue attending UNT,” McGary said.

Denton urban living ‘foreseeable’ Continued from Page 1 “In genera l, dow ntow ns are doing better than all other business communities,” Glover said. Denton’s downtown took an economic downturn in the 1970s with the introduction of large shopping malls and retail stores, Glover said.

Laura Rusnok is the university’s first aviation logistics graduate. The degree program was first offered at UNT in 2009.

So, when Laura Rusnok, a Col ley v i l le nat ive, decided to come to UNT, she put aside her “ultimate, shining” career goal of becoming a professional pilot and focused on earning a business degree. She said she had no idea an opportunit y would come along that would allow her to combine those fields. “You ca n ca l l it sheer dumb luck or divine providence shined his light down upon me a nd put me i n the right place at the right time,” said Rusnok, UNT alumna and the first graduate of the aviation logistics degree program. In her junior year at UNT, Rusnok said she was urged

to talk about the new degree with Steve Swartz, associate professor of marketing and an instrumental figure in establishing the aviation logistics program. After learning more about the program, Rusnok said she knew the aviation logistics program was perfect for the career she wanted to pursue. “The core of the program is business foundation courses,” Rusnok said. “It’s designed to give students a solid foundation to interact with business professionals in the aviation community.” Rather than a major that is extremely technical, such as aerospace engineering, the av iat ion log ist ics prog ra m was more suited to her goal — an understanding of the business aspect of the aviation industr y. “You have commercial aviation, general aviation, business aviation,” Rusnok said. “You have all these different facets that work together that I wasn’t aware of and t hat

Stephen Joiner, visiting assistant professor in the department of marketing and logist ic s, sa id t he prog ra m i s still new and the faculty is pleased with the amount it has grown in a year. Joiner said UNT was an ideal place for such a program due to a successful logistics department and the fact that the Dallas-Fort Worth area is one brimming w ith jobs in the aviation industr y. “It seemed natural to them to bring an aviation degree into the logistics department because aviation, by its very nature, is logistics,” Joiner said. “It’s moving people and t h i ngs … It seemed l i ke a natural fit.”

UNT makes volunteering ‘quick and easy’ By Shannon Moffatt Making a difference in the lives of others is made easier at UNT’s “Have a Minute? Change the World” event. Today, students can stop by the University Union or Discovery Park, in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The event will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. “I don’t think we always realize how easy it is to have an impact on somebody else’s life,” said Amy Simon, director of the Center for Leadership and Service. “MLK is really about service,” Simon said. “So we wanted to do something that commemorated that.” The event offers several projects to help people around the world, including writing a letter to a soldier, making a bookmark for children learning to read, or donating bone marrow.

“We wanted something that was instant,” Simon said. There will be 15 tables in the Union and five at Discovery Park, all offering different opportunities. “I hope folks get inspired to get involved,” Simon said. “The main purpose is that it doesn’t have to take a lot of time.” One table, Project Linus, located at Discovery Park, will allow students to make a blanket for a child who has lost a parent in the military. “Many people may see us making the blankets, but not know what we’re doing,” said Wonjee Oh, a graduate assistant for Student Affairs and organizer at Discovery Park. “We do most of the work, students just stop by and do something simple.” Students can also sign up to be an organ donator, donate food or money. “It’s just right there,” said Jami Horton, a criminal justice soph-

Today, E-Tex tbook s a re c om mon l y be c om i ng a n option for classes. “Mac, PC, Kindle… and the iPad are devices that can be used for reviewing e-textbooks, if they have the proper accessibility,” said Randy Honeycutt, a computer sales coordinator for the campus bookstore.

Easy accessibility Marshaye Meyers, a radio, television and film junior, said she has used e-textbooks three times. “A lot of classes do have the option,” she said. “I have taken advantage of it…I just ask the teacher if they offer e-text.” Meyers said she had one e-textbook for an entire year. “I got a Spanish book online and I could use it for both classes consecutively,” she said. The accessibility is easy and convenient to Meyers except when electronics aren’t allowed in class.

The bookstore started selling e-textbooks nine years ago, according to Davison.

“Each year, we’ve seen a growth in [e-textbook] sales. The majority of books sold are print copies,” he said. Davison said he still sees a growing demand for textbooks. “Students are making them important,” he said. “Not every student has a computer at home.”

Art inspires women to continue learning By M arlene Gonzalez Intern

Some go to college to find their talent while others are lucky enough to discover it earlier. Kathleen Womack came to Denton in search of a job as an art teacher, but when that door closed, a bigger, unexpected one opened: her very own home. Her passion brought people from the community, to her art studio in Lake Dallas. Womack grandparents’ talent and artistic genes passed on to her, and she has used that gift to

help others “find themselves.” “[Art] teaches you to risk. By laying out vulnerable, they learn to risk and trust themselves,” Womack said. “All of it teaches self-confidence.” Her studio doors are open to people of all ages, but one particular group intrigued by these classes, has been elderly women. Susan Anderson, a UNT alumna, has taken Womack’s art classes for over a year now. “I heard through church that Kathleen donates free art lessons. When we have the fall

festival, people donate to auction things off,” she said. “It got some of us interested, so we bought art classes.” Womack said she believes that as women get older, they are in search of something to help keep them learning. Womack has been told by her students that the art classes give them peace as well as something to look forward to. “I’m a retired teacher and it seemed like other ladies taking these classes were having fun,” Anderson said. The art classes consist of watercolors, acrylic and drawing, as well as others. Womack works with each student based on their level of experience. Crystal Gaikoski, a visual arts junior, found out about the art classes at When Pigs Fly: A Curious Little Shop. “Art form is actually settling to someone that does not have an experience, to be someone who doesn’t have a degree in art,” she said. “It’s not based on technique. If you put your heart and soul in it, it’s art.” Womack’s students vary in age –– some are retired or current teachers and others are as young as 18 year olds. “It is important to continue learning, what keeps people young is learning,” she said. For more information, contact Kathleen Womack at 940-4970896.

Students put ‘heart’ into musical talents BY GRANT CHICHESTER Contributing Writer

In the dark, musty basement of J&J’s pizza, the first note of a song is plucked on a banjo. Dancing becomes commonplace as a groove is formed, filling the air with an upbeat, folksy energy. Kick Drum Heart is a selfdescribed “amped-up folk” seven-member band, consisting of entirely UNT students. For the members of the band, the performance aspect of the music is critical. “Getting to do this with people that I enjoy on stage as much as offstage has shown me that, if at all possible, that’s what I want to do with the rest of my life,” band member and English senior Cody Maxwell said. Although nobody in Kick Drum Heart is majoring in music, their own areas of study influence some of them. “When I write songs, I’m very heavily influenced by historical events, and the various messages that philosophers have written down,” band member and history junior Clemente Gomez said. As ba nd members a nd students, the members of Kick Drum Heart constantly perform a balancing act between music and classes. “We won’t sacrifice schoolwork for t he band,” said Clemente Gomez a history junior.. “One time I had a test and somebody had to fill in for me on the bass.” For somebody not in the band, the live show has many unique qualities. “A lot of acts play music for

money. Kick Drum Heart doesn’t even get paid, so there’s a lot of passion in their show,” John Carter, an English sophomore, said. While music has played a large role in bringing all of the members of the band together, it’s not the only reason they associate with each other. “We always joke that it’s incidental that we all play music,” Maxwell said. “We would all be friends anyway.” For members of Kick Drum Heart like, interdisciplinary studies freshman, Rachel Jess, playing in the band is a good middle ground. “I wanted to major in music, but part of me didn’t want to,” she said. “I still wanted to play viola, but I didn’t want to be in the orchestra because it takes up so much time. So I finally found a way to play viola and to make it cool.” Whether it’s the members of the band themselves, every band has people who support them. For Kick Drum Heart, the supporters go above and beyond the call of duty. “A lot of people carry our junk,” Maxwell said. “Which is awesome, because even if they’ve heard the same exact thing a ton of times in our rooms, they’ll still show up and carry our stuff.” Not even the members of Kick Drum Heart know what’s in store for them. For now though, all they have is a philosophy. “Our main goal is to have fun,” Gomez said. “I know that I want to focus on going to law school, but if this thing becomes bigger I’m going to stick with it.”

“At Pohl Rec Center: male, brunette. I don’t remember what you were wearing, but you stared at me hard as you passed by.” This is just one of the many entries published on w w w.likea litt le.com. LikeALittle.com is a website where people can anonymously post their sightings of random people they see on campus. Chelsea Bolton, a marketing junior, introduced the UNT chapter at the beginning of November. “I thought it was fun and a great social networking site for a campus,” Bolton said. “I realized that UNT didn’t have one, so I shot the LikeALittle founder, Evan Reas, an email requesting one for UNT” Bolton discovered LikeaLittle after she had seen a Facebook status about it from her friend that goes to the University of Texas at Austin. To post an entry, the gender and hair color of the person that is “liked a little” is selected, and the location where the person was spotted is typed in. Immediately after clicking the “Boom!” button, entries are posted for the entire campus to see. They only requirements for entries are to compliment somebody and not include negative messages or real names. Readers

Many students believe it’s not always easy to approach someone you do not know. The website likealittle.com allows users to write what they want to say to someone anonymously. “It is difficult and awkward to make the first move,” Reas said. “We knew that firsthand from seeing cute girls around us and just being too shy to say hello. We decided to try to come up with interesting ways to connect people in the world around them.” In less than three months, more than 400 LikeALittle chapters have been established in the U.S. and 25 chapters are in Texas, Reas said. “Thousands of college students have requested a LikeALittle chapter for their school and we are rapidly growing around the world,” Reas said. “We’ll easily have a LikeaLittle chapter established in every four-year college within a year.” Jordan Bailey, an education

freshmen, said she has checked out the website and thinks the posts are vague at times. She said the person being written about is hard to identify. “For example, there is more than one cute blonde guy living in Kerr,” Bailey said. Since the website started, 20,102 users have “liked” it on Facebook, making it more viral via social networking sites and word of mouth, Reas said. Reas hopes LikeALittle will continue to give people a voice and help build confidence. “The introduction of this site has created friendships, hookups, relationships and lead-ons,” he said. “I think this is exactly how it should be.”

science junior, said he cares more about the regulation of JWH than the decisions of the user. “The government should be more concerned about the selling of it than the doing of it,” he said. Some students see JWH as movement toward a less restrictive society. With organizations like National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, students would prefer the decision of whether to smoke or not be left completely to the individual. Andrew Miller, a lingustics senior, said he would vote against any ban on JWH products if that were possible. “I wouldn’t buy it,” he said. “I like even my groceries organic, so anything synthetic bothers me, but it being available in stores is a step toward legalizing marijuana.”

JWH ban spurs controversy BY CARL FOSTER Intern

In Denton, legal consumption of the herbal smoking product K2 has been confined to a bygone age: an age that ended Sept. 21 of last year when Denton’s official ban went into effect. Products like K2, which contain certain types of the drug JWH, have been pulled from gas stations and head shops throughout all of Denton. The sale has been prohibited by law. Sgt. Brad Curtis of the Denton Police Department said reports do not make JWH usage seem widespread, but they do show that people have bad experiences. “This stuff is not to be smoked, in my opinion,” Curtis said. “You don’t know what’s in it, and there’s no research to tell the long-term damage.” These products are classified by the Drug Enforcement Adminstration as “synthetic cannabinoids,” loosely translated as “fake marijuana.” The drug, known as JWH, is

Head coach Johnny Jones had Thompson coming off the bench because of the guard’s effort in practice. “He’s gotten better in practice,” Jones said. “He’s done a much better job, and that’s just part of it. We’ve got to practice hard so we can play hard.” Jones sa id he st i l l does not know if Thompson will be in the starting lineup for its game against LouisianaMon roe at 7: 30 p.m . on Thursday Monroe, La.

—George Odufuwa Senior forward

sUNT (14-4, 3-2) this season. The Mean Green is 3-4 away from the Super Pit. Despite losing two of the last three games, Jones said would not call the stretch a slump but more of a setback for the Mean Green. “Last year, we were the best team in the conference in road wins and we just haven’t hit our stride yet,” Jones said. ULM (6-13, 1-4) has struggled to win games, regardless of the location. At home the Warhawks are 4-4, and 0-3 in conference play. ULM is coming off its first conference win of the season, a narrow 67-65 victory against South Alabama last Saturday. “To be honest w it h you, we’re going to take the same

approach,” senior for wa rd George Odufuwa said. “We have a sour taste in our mouth because we just lost. We’re going to come out and play hard. I guarantee you that.” The Warhawks struggle to put points on the scoreboard, averag i ng 60.2 poi nts per game, while the Mean Green put up 79.1 points per contest. ULM’s leading scorer is guard Fred Brown, who scores 13.6 poi nt s a ga me. However, Brown is not among the top 10 scorers in the conference. Senior guard Josh White is ranked ninth in the conference in scoring at 14.3 points a game. W h ite ha s scored 1,501 career points, trailing Tony Worrell by 15 points for sixth place on the school’s all-time

career scoring list. If W hite dishes out nine assists on Thursday, he would become t he f irst player in school history to tally 1,500 points and 300 assists. The experienced guard said he knows wins matter most right now for a str uggling squad. “We really need that win to get us going again, to get back on a winning streak and get back to playing how we know how to play,” White said. The last t ime t he Mea n Green was in action, Troy scored 89 points on a defense that allows 72.6 points per game. UNT is ranked eighth in the conference in points allowed and is 0-3 when it surrenders 85 points or more to an opponent. “The main thing is we just need to raise the level another notch,” Odufuwa said. “Teams scoring 89 points, we’re a better defensive team than that. We just want to focus on defense right now.” The game can be heard on KWRD-FM, 100.7 and KNTUFM, 88.1.

In defeat i ng Flor ida International and Troy guard Denetra Kellum, the team’s lone senior, led the way by averaging a double-double of 20 points and 11.5 rebounds.

Wit h UNT cling ing to a 64-57 lead, Kellum knocked down all 14 of her free throws to secure the win for the Mean Green and end the team’s five-

Another road test for Mean Green Seansense: Team will recover soon

Women try for three straight tomorrow B Y B OBBY L EWIS

Senior Staff Writer It has been almost 14 months since the UNT women’s basketba ll team had t he k ind of momentum it has right now. With a v ictor y over Troy University last Saturday, UNT (5-14, 2-4) earned its first twogame w inning streak since November 2009, when t he team toppled the University of Missouri-Kansas City and the University of Texas-Pan American. The victory was also the team’s first road win of the season after starting off 0-10 away from home. The Mean Green will go for an unprecedented three-game winning streak tomorrow when it travels to Monroe, La. to take on the University of Louisiana at Monroe. “It felt so great to get that first victory away from home,” head coach Shanice Stephens said. “Now we’ve got to try to put it together again and really get something going.” A victory over ULM (8-10, 2-3) would give UNT its first three-game w inning streak since the 2008-2009 season. W h i le U N T comes i nto the game riding a wave of momentum, t he Warhawks come in on a low tide.

Jones has formula for success B Y S EAN G OR M AN Sports Editor

This time last year, I wrote t he most negat ive piece possible about t he U N T men’s basketball team and their chances in 2010. With then-senior forward Eric Tra miel suf fering a n injury and the team dropping a key home game against Isia h T homa s’ F lor ida Internationa l, a ll seemed lost for head coach Johnny Jones’ boys in my mind. One NC A A Tournament birth and 12 months later, I am going on the record to say that I was as incorrect as the majority of NFL analysts on ESPN were last weekend. The team has now dropped two of its last four games and all four losses this year have come on the road, causing some fear in the minds of the UNT community. Nat u ra l ly, Mea n Green fanatics may panic but after questioning this team and being proven plain wrong, I can promise fans of UNT this: Jones will find a way to get the most out of his team and senior leadership will help UNT win when it matters most. Considering the handful of issues that have plagued this team recently, a midseason struggle is understandable. S e n ior g u a r d Tr i s t a n T hompson, a rg uably t he team’s best pure offensive player and the leading scorer in the Sun Belt, has come off the bench after not showing enough effort in practice. Jones is ha rder on Thompson than any other player at practice because he knows what he can get out of him when Thompson puts the work in. It may not be idea l at this point, but a motivated Thompson is exactly what the Mean Green will need as the games begin to matter more and more during the road to March.

T h e Angleton native will not for get t h i s de c ision at all. He will return to the starting SEAN lineup with GORMAN a vengeance. Like last season, UNT is adjusting to having a new starting five on the court. Sophomore Ben K nox has

“The chemistry and cohesiveness of the club will continue to improve.” filled in nicely for Kedrick Hogans at forward but these things take time. As the group spends more time together, the chemistry and cohesiveness of the club will continue to improve. A f ter a l l, t hat’s exact ly what happened when t he Mean Green used the same s t a r t i ng f i v e du r i ng it s 11-ga me w i n n i ng st rea k en r out e to a Su n B elt Conference Title. I f one t h i ng g ives me confidence in this team, it’s the intangibles that Jones brings to the table. The coach’s experience, knowledge and strong relat ionsh ip w it h h is players give UNT an edge over any Sun Belt team they will face in t hese f ina l 11 contests against Sun Belt competition before the end of the regular season. The bottom line is that t he Mea n Green ha s t he most ta lented team in its conference a nd maybe in school histor y. All the important components needed for a championship season are there.It will just take time for this team to figure out an identity and make another impressive run to a conference title NCA A Tournament.

Tucson shooting, political commentary unrelated

Nods and Shakes Editorial Nod: Dallas News redesign improves experience Dallasnews.com has a new look, and it’s about time. With its openness and its easy-to-find sections, the new design for The Dallas Morning News site will be more welcoming for readers. The Editorial Board appreciates the medium’s attempt to improve its audience’s experience. Although the site could still use some improvement, like making multimedia more accessible, it allows readers to navigate the content easier. The newspaper’s staff has also done well with using social media, like Twitter and Facebook, to draw attention to the change and ask for feedback. We hope other media outlets will follow the example set by dallasnews.com. Shake: Perry’s speech, focus does not work Texas has a deficit in excess of $15 billion, but Gov. Rick Perry said in his Tuesday inaugural speech that Texas will show the country how to rebound from economic problems. The Editorial Board has a hard time believing that. Staying true to his campaign ideas, Perry said Texas will take care of those in need through cutting the budget and not raising taxes. He also continued to accuse Washington of being the problem. Continuing to decrease services, such as education and health care, hasn’t worked. The Board would appreciate if Perry and his fellow state politicians would focus more on fixing the problem and less on spreading the blame. Nod: Police protect Super Bowl security well When a laptop was stolen on Jan. 11 in Arlington, Super Bowl XLV security could have been compromised. Instead, the Arlington Police Department worked hard to keep the situation under control. The laptop had the designs for security credential information that, according to a report from CBS, was not for the game itself. The Editorial Board applauds the Arlington police for being proactive about the situation. We also will watch to see if anyone decides to use those credentials to get into the festivities. We’re sure the police would be happy to see them try. Shake: Tucson incident shows media problems Sometimes the media gets it wrong. One example is the coverage of the Jan. 8 shooting in Tucson that left six people dead and at least 13 people injured. In the rush to get the information out first, National Public Radio reported that Arizona Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords died from a shot to the head. Other media outlets began announcing the same, only to discover she was alive. She has since been able to respond to commands and is in serious condition instead of critical. CNN also used the wrong person’s picture from Facebook to identify the alleged shooter. They, along with other outlets, were more concerned with giving the story first, not correct. The Editorial Board understands that mistakes can be made in the course of breaking a story, but the media have a responsibility to check the facts before they report.

In t he a f ter mat h of t he A r i zona shoot i ng on Ja n. 8, we have w it nessed a n onslaught of verbal attacks from talking heads and selfproclaimed political experts attempting to assign blame for this horrible tragedy. Me r e h o u r s a f t e r t h e first shots were fired at the Safeway in Tucson, we turned on the television to find highpaid pundits and Clarence Dupnik, the sheriff of Pima County, attacking talk show hosts and people like Glenn B e c k a nd for mer A l a s k a governor Sarah Palin. P a l i n w a s a c c u s e d of h a v i n g a “r o l e” i n t h e shooting because of a map t hat w a s c i rc u lated w it h its “sights” set on congressiona l d ist r icts, i nclud i ng the district of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. A lthough I believe there should be a time for a robust debate on the rhetoric and its place in political discourse, using this catastrophe as a catalyst to spark such debate seems highly insensitive to the victims and their fami-

“My sincere hope is people who read this column will remember this tragedy involved real human lives.” lies. Also, the sheriff would be well suited to maintain his day job as a law enforcement officer rather than a political commentator. I w i l l concede t hat t he language chosen by politicians and talk show hosts is a bit venomous. However, associating such commentary to a man who took the lives of six individuals, including a 9-year-old girl who was born on Sept. 11, 2001, is simply outrageous and unacceptable. Because Christina Taylor Green unsuspectingly wanted to learn more about t he A mer ica n pol it ica l system, she lost her life in cold blood. At the core of this stor y, we have a ma n, Ja red Lee L oug h ner. He i s t he ke y suspect in this tragedy, who

is, by all accounts, a deranged and disturbed individual who dropped out of high school, was rejected by the United States Army, and was forced out of P i m a C om mu n it y College until a mental evaluation was completed. M o s t o f L o u g h n e r ’s friends and acquaintances have repor ted t hat he d id not watch the news or stay educated on current events, so this further illustrates my point that political commentary should not be attributed to this shooting rampage. At this time, the bulk of debates and television discussions should be focused on how we can better spot and assist people who might be ex per ienc i ng ment a l a nd emotional turmoil. My sincere hope is people who read this column w ill

remember t his t ragedy involved real human lives. Si x i n noc ent pe ople lost their lives. A U.S. congresswoman lies in serious condition fighting for her life after conducting an event to speak directly to her constituents. We must come together and rally around these people and pray for their full recover y and that Tucson can be made w hole aga i n. I com mend President Barack Obama for leading this cause.

Shock Talk Professor accused of asking class to grade student who missed class to give birth By L aureL rosenhaLL MCT

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Universit y of Ca liforniaDavis officials are investigating allegations that a veterinary school professor pol led students on what grade he should give one of t hei r fel low st udent s who had missed class after giving birth to a baby. Chancellor Linda Katehi issued a statement Friday saying the university would take “swift and appropriate action” if the investigation revea led m isconduct on the part of the professor. “This alleged action, if fou nd to be t r ue, wou ld present a ser ious dev iation from the values and principles that guide our campus and our School of Veterinary Medicine, and I would be profoundly disappoi nted i f t he repor ted events did in fact transpire on this campus,” Katehi’s statement says. The c h a n c e l l o r ’s response followed a report about the alleged incident on a blog for women i n

s c ienc e, w r it ten u nder t he ha nd le “Isis t he Scientist.” T he blog ger repor ted Wednesday that a UC Davis student had forwarded her an e-mail written by thirdyear class presidents from the veterinar y school. The e-mail — allegedly sent to t he whole cla ss — says, in part: “One of ou r cla ssmates recent ly gave birth and will be out of class for an unk now n period of time. This means she will undoubtedly miss one, or more, or all quizzes in VMD 444. Dr. Feldman is not sure how to handle this and has requested the class give input and vote.” The e-mail then lists six options for how the new mot her cou ld be g raded — i nclud i ng “automat ic A ,” “automat ic B,” a nd “automatic C” — and tells st udent s to “keep you r eye out for the upcoming vote.” The professor, Edward Feldman, did not return a call or an e-mail seeking comment.
