Lysteria illness kills 2 in Texas A NN SMAJSTRLA Staff Writer
An outbreak of listeriosis traced to tainted Colorado cantaloupe has led to two deaths in Texas and has hospitalized 17 people, said Carrie Williams, a press officer for the Texas Department of State Health Services. Cases of listeriosis linked to the cantaloupes have been reported in 24 states where 109 people have been infected and 21 have died, and the death toll is still rising. Listeriosis is an infection caused by eating food containing the bacterium listeria monocytogenes, said Rance Berg, UNT Health Science Center professor of biology and immunology. “People become infected after eating contaminated food products, primarily soft cheeses and processed meats, but obviously fruits and vegetables can also be contaminated,” Berg said. The most common symptoms of listeriosis are fever, muscle aches, diarrhea and vomiting. If the infection enters the central nervous system, Berg said, it can lead to meningitis, and the symptoms are headaches, stiff neck, confusion and seizures. Those most susceptible to listeria are pregnant women, infants, the elderly and adults with weakened immune systems, Berg said. Listeriosis can be treated with antibiotics; however, even with prompt treatment, some listeriosis cases result in death. About 20 to 30 percent of clinical cases of listeriosis result in death, Berg said. “It’s not something that we should concern ourselves with, but it’s still pretty sad to hear about,” English senior Michael Collins said. T he Fo o d a nd D r u g Administration’s website, foodsafety.org, advises that consumers check the site frequently once a mass recall of food is announced.

Mean Green notches first Sun Belt win PAUL BOTTONI
Senior Staff Writer The UNT football team earned its first Sun Belt Con ference w i n of t he 2011-2012 season Saturday, defeating Florida Atlantic 31-17 on a cool and blustery night at Apogee Stadium. The Mean Green (2-4) shut out the Owls (0-5) in the first half, but FAU rallied with 17 points in the second half. However, the game was out of reach and the Mean Green victory sealed. “There were plent y of mistakes and things we have to get fixed as coaches,” UNT
“But in the end, when you are plus-three in turnovers, you normally have a good chance to win.”
-Dan McCarney UNT head football coach
head coach Dan McCarney said. “But in the end, when you are plus three in turnovers, you normally have a good chance to win [the game].”
Fewer Mean Green fans than usual witnessed the victory, as a season-low attendance of 13,142 was seen at the start of the game. Tur novers shaped t he
game’s outcome. The Mean Green scored 21 points off three Owls giveaways. The UNT defense entered the game ranked last in the Sun Belt in pass defense and had made three interceptions in five games. The Mean Green matched that total against FAU, including back-to-back third-quarter interceptions returned for touchdowns by senior defensive backs Royce Hill and Steven Ford. “I was playing in the flats and the quarterback just didn’t see me,” Hill said. “I got a chance to get my hands on the ball and just stayed
with it. I made the interception, broke a tackle and from there I was just looking at the end zone.” Not to be outdone, Ford made a pick six of his own during the next FAU offensive possession. “After I saw Royce get his, I said, ‘Man, I got to get me a pick,’” Ford said. With the wind howling, the UNT offense relied on the ground game. The Mean Green finished the night with 43 rushing attempts.

State Fair security amps up surveillance R EBECCA RYAN Staff Writer
Dozens of new surveillance cameras are making it possible for Dallas Police and security to keep an eye on every inch of the State Fair of Texas grounds.
The project is this year’s installment of an ongoing plan to expand security at the fair. “In the ‘80s, we began developing a broader plan for security,” said Sue Gooding, vice president of public relations
for the State Fair of Texas. “Incidents on the midway in 1979 and 1983 sparked the movement for better security. Our current president took over and began expanding security.”
The project to improve security was developed in 1988 when Errol W. McKoy was elected State Fair president, Gooding said.

Bank of America’s decision to start charging customers a $5-a-month fee for the use of their debit cards has pushed A mer ica’s la rgest ba n k ing chain into the spotlight. T h e D o d d-F r a n k Wa l l Street Reform and Consumer Protect ion Act, wh ich President Obama signed into law July 21, 2010, imposed a cap on the amount in fees banks can receive from businesses that use debit cards. The Federal Reserve capped debit card swipe fees at $.21 starting Oct. 1, causing banks to take in less revenue. “They’re a corporation, and any time t here is a loss of revenue, they need to make it up some way,” said Dave Ragan of the finance, insura nce, rea l estate a nd law faculty. The amount of money banks can collect from businesses is now capped at 50 percent of what the average was a year ago, Ragan said.
The Dodd-Frank Act highlights some of its goals as creating a sound economic fou ndat ion to g row jobs, protect consumers and prevent a not her f i na nc ia l c r i si s, according to banking.senate. gov; however, some Bank of America users aren’t feeling very protected. “I think I might switch to a bank that doesn’t charge fees,” said Elizabeth Sosa, an English literature senior. “My debit card is really essential; I use it for just about everything. I could stop using it, but it would make my life difficult.” Other banks such as Wells Fa rgo have beg u n implementing fees on a trial basis in certain states in the U.S., though Texas has yet to be added to the list. The fee is $3 a month and is incurred when a customer has used his or her debit card within a billing cycle. If the card is not used, the fee is not be charged.

Students learn to better manage credit cards, avoid debt A LEX M ACON
Senior Staff Writer The value of an education may be immeasurable, but most college students and their parents can agree on one thing: It isn’t cheap. According to credit.com, a website that publishes credit card research and analysis, college seniors in the U.S. on average have $4,100 in credit card debt and average more than $24,000 in debt from student loans. Rachel Grimes, program coordinator for UNT’s Student Money Management Center, said about 70 percent of UNT students use some form of financial aid, mostly student loans. She said some students with credit card debt were often overwhelmed at how much the debt could stack up. “The biggest problem we see is the lack of realization of how quickly small purchases add up,” Grimes said. “Then students will get these unexpected expenses like school debt and don’t know how to prioritize.” Grimes said using payment plans and prioritizing which debt to pay first is the best way for students to deal with their financial problems. “You don’t get in debt overnight; you’re not going to get out of it overnight,” Grimes said. Grimes said she had noticed shifting student views on money in the past year or so, noting that more students were taking steps to ensure their debt stays under control. She said some students
had even expressed a “fear of credit cards.” She advised students to carefully look over terms and conditions before getting a credit card and said each student should establish exactly why he or she wants to start a line of credit. “[Students] should get their reasons for getting a credit card straight,” Grimes said. According to a report from credit.com, the number of new credit card accounts opened by students decreased 17 percent from 2009 to 2010. The CARD Act, signed into law in 2009, includes rules to prohibit credit card marketing on college campuses. The law restricts credit card issuers from giving a credit card to anyone under the age of 21 without a co-signer and prevents issuers from offering gifts to students who sign up for a credit card. Credit card companies have made “affinity agreements” with universities and alumni groups since the late 1970s. These contracts allow for alumni groups to receive money in exchange for alumni who get credit cards with a particular bank through the alumni association. Derrick Morgan, executive director of the North Texas Alumni Association, said the association has made about $1.7 million over seven years based on its participation in an affinity agreement with Bank of America. This money goes into scholarships and facilities maintenance for the university.

Wen Wen Chong, a psychology senior, makes a purchase at the UNT Bookstore from cashier Jenna Nigh, an English sophomore. Morgan said that while the association did provide alumni information, including emails and mailing addresses, to Bank of America, it was a transparent process and was a “competitively priced” deal for alumni. Morgan said credit card companies would market to graduates regardless of the alumni association’s affinity agreement. “The information is already out there,” Morgan said. “The only dimension is identifying an
alum as having an affinity with a particular university.” Morgan credited the CARD Act and other legislation that focused on consumer protection with making sure students and alumni were not ripped off by credit card companies. “We try to be diligent and partner with reputable organizations that present students with good options,” Morgan said. Whether the university was
involved or not, Morgan said freshmen are bound to get credit card offers and stressed the importance of students using all the resources at their disposal to make the right choices. “It’s your spending resume,” Morgan said. “You control that. Don’t let it control you.” Paul Love, an organizational behavior and human resource management senior and peer mentor with the Student Money Management Center, said he has
noticed more students learning the importance of using a credit card wisely. “If you’re going to use it, you really have to use it responsibly,” Love said. He said students learning how to manage their debt boded well for the future. “We’re learning from the mistakes of the past,” Love said. “We’re going to be in charge some day, and it’s great to see people getting it together.”

Work of artist, film subject on display at UNT HOLLY H ARVEY Staff Writer
The collages and sketches of Jimmy Mirikitani range from innocent-looking cats to images of destruction. The 91-year-old Japanese artist, whose art is drawn from life experiences, lived in an internment camp during World War II and found himself homeless in New York during 9/11. “The Art of Jimmy Mirikitani” is an exhibition on display in Cora Stafford Gallery that displays the artist’s drawings and collages. The awardwinning documentary made about him called “The Cats of Mirikitani” will be screened at 7 p.m. Oct. 27 in the Lyceum and will precede a panel discussion. “His art is about healing through the visual process of painting,” said Nicole Newland, a graduate assistant for the UNT Fine Art Series, which has organized the exhibition and screening. Mirik ita ni was born in the U.S. but was raised in Hiroshima. His art that shows the destruction of Hiroshima is a way for him to cope with his anger, said Tracee Robertson, director of UNT’s
art galleries. “For him, it was a way to record his ex perienc e s a nd deal with his e m ot i on s ,” JIMMY she said. MIRIKITANI Another significant event in Mirikitani’s life was 9/11. Mirikitani was a homeless street artist living in New York City when the towers fell. As a street artist, Mirikitani’s canvases were often whatever bits of paper he could find, and some of his work has tears or stains from the paper he used, Newland said. Images from this time in his life show strong uses of color and flames coming from the World Trade Center. Having the exhibit nearly coincide with the 10-year anniversary of 9/11 was one of the reasons Mirikitani’s art was selected, Newland said. “The Cats of Mirikitani” shows Mirikitani’s life after he moved from the streets into the home of filmmaker Linda Hattendorf following 9/11. The film has won awards at about eight film festivals worldwide

Way ne Derrick has lived among indigenous tribes in the Amazon and searched for the home of Santa Claus in the Arctic. If that sounds like something from a movie or TV show, that’s because it is. The Texas filmmaker, who has worked with BBC, CNN a nd Nat iona l Geog raphic, v isited ca mpus T hu rsday nig ht to spea k to roug h ly t wo dozen students in the Radio, Television, Film and Per for m i ng A r t s Bu i ld i ng about what it’s like to work in t he f ilm industr y as he la mente d t he ch a nge i n commercial television, which he said has evolved to appeal to a broader audience. “To me, the great privilege of being able to go to places like that is the connection to the people that are there, and I really want to bring that to the audience,” he said. Derrick also spoke about t he cha nge i n telev i sion prog ra m m i ng w it h i n t he mainstream. He said since his early days of filmmaking, commercia l telev ision has turned toward appealing to a broad audience more than making intelligent and educational films. “As the number of channels have increased, the need to ma ke programming entertaining has created a slight k ind of dumbing dow n of programs. We used to call it going to the lowest common denominator,” he said. Throughout his presentation, Derrick showcased some of his work. He screened part of his first documentary for BBC, which he made in 1989. For t hat documenta r y, he followed a spiritua l native t r ibe of t he A ma zon a nd its reaction to contact with modern civilization. The film

When you’re having to write the narration to fit the reading age of a very young teenager, that’s a bit depressing when you’re trying to make a film for adults,” he said.
“The great privelege of being able to go to places like that is the connection to the people.” —Wayne Derrick Film producer Chris Cude, a radio, television and film senior, heard about Der r ick’s screen ing t hroug h t he radio, telev ision and film program. He said talking to Derrick and seeing his work helped to give him a better of idea of how to produce his own work. “With technology cha ng i ng, t he i ndust r y is really changing, so we just can’t look at it the same way people have done documentaries, especially ethnography, for such a long time,” Cude said. Cude said Derrick’s v isit
helped him get a perspect ive of moder n telev ision programming. “He manages to take a style of something that’s been done before and add something new to it, so that’s kind of what I got from him,” he said. Ben Lev in of t he radio, telev ision and film facult y is a long t i me f r iend a nd colleague of Derrick. He said t hat bring ing ex perienced people like him to UNT helps students understand what it’s like to work within the two sectors of film: independent and commercial. “T he com mercia l cable networks are all about ratings. The independent filmmakers are not about that, and Wayne is not all about that,” he said. “The reason we bring people like Wayne is so that students u nd e r s t a nd t h e v a r iou s options t hat t hey have for the future.” Levin said Derrick has been able to work well in both areas of film. “Wayne’s presentation was a good example of someone who’s kept their career alive, who’s been through transitions and changes; he’s very adaptable,” he said.

Most production companies are more than open to people with ideas if they’re good and strong; that’s what people are looking for.”

The cameras are a part of a Firetide HotPort wireless mesh network that carries real-time video surveillance to assist security and police. “We’ve had security cameras for several years,” Gooding said. “More cameras were added this year based on our ability to see what’s going on around and on the grounds. We add more technology as more equipment becomes available.” In addition to cameras, Dallas police and employees of Platinum Event Services Inc. are distributed throughout the 277-acre area of Fair Park. “We have a police substation on the grounds that is set up for the 24-day period that the fair is going on,” Gooding said. “It’s manned by Dallas Police Department. We have a mounted patrol, officers in golf carts, on risers and walking around the grounds.” During the fair’s yearly run, roughly 2.5 million people enter the gates of Fair Park, 15 percent of whom are college-aged. “Young adults are definitely drawn to the fair,” Gooding said. “The midway is very popular.
Arts & Life
The addition of extreme rides and concerts attracts a crowd of college students, along with the allure of an entire day of fun for $30, including parking.” As a child, interdisciplinary studies freshman Brooke Marquis wasn’t concerned with much more than eating cotton candy and turkey legs when she attended the fair with her family. However, as an adult Marquis is more concerned with her safety. “I was afraid someone would take my purse and my wallet,” she said. “I was also scared of getting lost because there are tons of people. Security could advise parents to keep their money close and kids closer to avoid those problems. Cops provide intimidation, and cameras help identify criminals.” Other students felt safe because the State Fair boasts a familyfriendly atmosphere and little crime. “Security seemed pretty tight when I was there,” vocal performance freshman Josh Smith said. “Nothing and no one dangerous could get in, but other attendees weren’t inconvenienced or held up for too long. I think the extra cameras can take care of blind spots that security can’t see as well.”

Another treat that received a lot of praise was deep-fried Texas salsa. The dish includes t wo red a nd brow n deepfried wafers w ith a side of dipping sauce. I was apprehensive, but t he f irst bite tasted like chips and salsa rolled up into one convenient snack. It’s crunchy but softer than a tortilla chip. It’s also an easy snack to take on the go. The winner this year for the Best Taste award was the buffalo chicken wrapped in a flapjack, and I couldn’t agree more. This fried treat has a buffalo chicken strip that’s coated in pancake batter that’s rolled up in jalapeno breadcrumbs and

Mean Green remains undefeated in conference Rain out prevents UNT from adding to its winning streak
Weekend Notes With her two goals against Troy, senior forward Michelle Young became the first Mean Green player to score at least 11 goals in a season since 2008.
BOBBY LEWIS
Senior Staff Writer It took the efforts of Mother Nature to slow down the UNT soccer team, which extended its winning streak to five games against Troy Friday before its game against South Alabama was canceled because of rain Sunday. In the one game the Mean Green played, the team beat Troy (7-7-1, 2-4-0) 4-1 to stay perfect in conference and increased its home-unbeaten streak to 12 games. In seven home games this season, UNT is 6-0-1. “I think the team played rea l ly wel l,” sa id sen ior midfielder Kelsey Perlman, who had a goal and an assist. “There’s always lulls in soccer games where the other team has a majority of the possessions, but I think we’re such a veteran team that we really stayed on top of things.” One of those lulls came late in the game with UNT nursing a two-goal lead.

This weekend was a huge confidence boost.” —Sujay Lama, Head tennis coach One of U N T’s double s te a m s a l s o a pp e a r e d i n singles finals. Sprinkmeyer lost to Columbia’s Amy Lee in singles f light-H while her partner Nadia Lee fell to No. 52 Nikita Uberoi from Brown in singles f light-G. “It’s excit ing to see t he growth of this team each day,” Lama said. “This weekend was a huge confidence boost for this team as we head into regionals.” Players were not available for comment.
blocked Morgan’s high-kicked shot, but it deflected off the crossbar into the net. The goal snapped Kerestine’s and UNT’s scoreless streak at 378:59. “[Kerestine] made a really good save, but it just deflected
in,” UNT head coach John Hedlund said. “We’re not going to get a shutout from her every game. She made some good saves tonight.” UNT answered just more than three minutes later with a goal from junior midfielder
Ellen Scarfone. The game ended like it started, with Young scoring a conference-leading 11t h goal of the season in the 88th minute. “To me, the most important thing was what do we do after we give up the goal,” Hedlund sa id. “A nd we responded with two goals. So, I’m very proud.” The Mean Green will try to build on its winning streak against Florida International in Miama, Fla., Friday.

Contamination should bring tighter regulation Editorial In June of 2010, videos of tap water being lit on fire began to make their way around YouTube and soon all over Internet. Homeowners in various parts of the nation claimed their water had been contaminated by nearby natural gas wells with wastewater from hydraulic fracturing. The natural gas industry denounced the claims that water could be contaminated by its new and safe methods of extracting natural gas. However, the claim isn’t entirely off base – at least not in Denton. As reported by the Denton Record Chronicle, while visiting a natural gas drilling well site in Hickory Creek on Thursday, city officers discovered wastewater being forced into the tributary of a nearby creek. In effort to cover its tracks, a man at the site turned off the pump when he noticed city officers arriving at the site. When officials tested a water sample from the site, it tested in at a level 10 times higher than the last time it was tested. Yet for contaminating 24,360 gallons of water, the company was only required to shut down the well site until it cleaned up its mess while officers oversaw the cleanup process. Although this is a mere slap on the wrist to the oil company, it is unfortunately the most Denton’s gas well drilling and production regulations allow it to do in the event of a violation. It would be a shame if the Denton City Council didn’t take this as a lesson to impose tighter regulations as it enters the second phase of its natural gas ordinance review. At the first meeting of a task force that will help the City Council rewrite Denton’s natural gas drilling ordinance in August, residents suggested the city adopt new regulations. Suggestions ranged from only allowing drilling in industrial areas to also only making specific-use permits available, a measure that would force drilling companies to undergo a public hearing and gain City Council approval. Lawyers who represent the natural gas industry called for a more balanced approach, and they’re right – there is a serious imbalance in the gas industry’s favor and there needs to be a shift. It is time the Denton City Council does more to provide its residents a louder voice in the decision-making process and provide itself more power in overseeing the gas companies before they are allowed to come into Denton and contaminate or pollute more areas. Until then, residents will have to hope the Texas Railroad Commission, which has jurisdiction over the natural gas drilling industry and water violations in Texas, imposes a worthy sanction on the company and gives it more than a slap on the wrist.

NCLB is still a joke 10 years later This Ja nua r y w ill ma rk the 10th anniversary of the signing of No Child Left Behind (NCLB). Since NCLB has been implemented, teachers across the nation lost the ability to suit the individual and collective needs of their students because of the immense pressure to meet the standards required by NCLB, i.e., Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). The comical thing is that there is no set score to meet AYP, and each school must progress in its test scores every year to reach the goal. This means a school with 94 percent pass rate must reach 95 percent to secure federal f unding. This impractica l approach of AYP has resulted in a nickname for NCLB, which Dr. Jack Davis refers to as the “Catch-22 of education.” The most unrealistic of all is that the act requires students to meet 100 percent proficiency in reading and math by 2014. In Texas, a state with a high
percent of ESL learners, the effects have been severely damaging. According to the Da llas Morning News, the number of Texas schools that failed to meet AYP last year rose to 2,233 from 368. A large number of these schools are Title 1, and if a Title 1 school fails to meet AYP for two consecutive years the school is forced by the federal government to invest in supplemental educational ser v ices (ESE), which a re nationally accredited private tutoring companies. Teachers who have been work ing in Texas districts for the past 20 years have witnessed the implementation of three different standardized tests: the TEAMS, the TAAS and the TAKS. Each standardized test has obligated teachers to cha nge the curriculum to match it and demanded that students adapt to the new standards and testing formats.
This school year, teachers and students will be subjected to a new standardized test k now n as the STARR. The STARR is a collection of 12 end-of-course exa ms t hat is said to be “significantly more rigorous than previous tests.” The last time Texas education switched tests was when the TAKS replaced the TAAS in 2003. At the time, 90 percent of students passed the reading portion of the TAAS, and 80 percent passed t he mat hematics portion. W hen the TAKS was implemented, rates dropped to 70 percent passing reading and 50 percent passing mathematics. A lt hough NCLB has not been reauthorized since 2008, schools are still expected to meet AYP and are still expected to go through restructuring if they fail to do so. So far the standardization of American schools has reduced teachers’ abilit y to innovate in t he
classroom and has created a monotonous environment in which students are no longer expressing their interests or individuality through interactive experience, but are being force-fed by federal and state governments answers to tests that will have little benefit once they graduate.
Abandoned buildings with unhinged, rusted business signs and shattered windows ser ve as a reminder of the ba r b e c ue re st au r a nt s i n Denton that have failed to rival popular chains. Big Bubba’s Bodac iou s Barbeque and Steve’s BBQ have bot h been closed for years. Sweet Y has long struggled to hold on to customers but hangs on. Sweet Y f irst opened in t he ‘50s as a past r y shop. After the pastry shop closed, Raymond Redmon’s grandparents opened up a restaurant t hat sold “soul food,” including sweet barbecue, smoked br isket a nd f r ied chicken. When they became too old to manage the business, it shut down. Many tenants attempted to re-open the restaurant as a similar, quaint mom-and-pop barbecue joint but struggled to f loat with the big boats. The little pink house slipped into the categor y of bleak,
empty buildings that lost out to larger franchises. Three years ago, Redmon decided to start cooking his g ra ndma’s recipes for t he community again. Red mon slow-cook s h is meat with oak wood to give it an old-style f lavor. His juicy, t ender, f a l l- of f-t he -b one barbecue has been known to give people goose bumps. His vegetables are homegrown in his garden and the desserts might remind you of holidays at home. But like owners before him, Redmon str uggles to keep the lights on. The cash f low last spring wasn’t enough to pay t he restaurant’s water and electricity bills during t he blistering summer. To save money, he was forced to close Sweet Y through the summer. To succeed, loca l businesses l i ke Sweet Y need support f rom t he community. J&J’s, The Chestnut Tree, Abby Inn and Denton County
Hamburger are just a few of the delicious locally-owned restaurants on the Square. Fol low t he st reet s t hat merge at t he Denton Cou r t hou se i n a l l d i rect ion s a nd you’l l f i nd L a Mexicana, Andaman, Keiichi, Sweetwater and many other local jewels. Travel a litt le fa rt her to nor t h Denton to t r y t he aut hent ic, e x t r aord i n a r y tastes of La Indita, Yummy’s, the International Food and Restau ra nt or Roya l Ea st Asian Cuisine. W hen you pass t he big, bright places right of f t he highway, keep driving. The best f lavor is usually nestled i n Denton’s oldest neig hborhoods in buildings that were built more than 60 years ago on streets that have had the same name for almost a hundred. If Redmon can’t rally new customers, Sweet Y may not have a sweet ending. The grill out back hasn’t
been f ired up for mont hs and the red and blue “OPEN” sign in the window was still unplugged last Saturday. Redmon hopes to give his customers the food they’ve been crav i ng a l l su m mer a g a i n s o o n . “Ho p e f u l l y I can fire up the grill next weekend,” Redmon said. Fingers crossed.
