Study pill useage still a trend on college campuses A lex M acon

Senior Staff Writer Faced with the pressure of academic success, some college students have turned to t he use of prescr ibed st imu la nts li ke Addera l l, a drug developed to treat attention deficit hy peractiv it y disorder t hat has a high potentia l for dependency and abuse.

According to a 2009 study f rom t he U.S. Substa nce Abuse and Mental Health Ser v ices Ad m in ist rat ion, about 6.4 percent of fulltime college students ages 18 to 22 reported using Adderall without a prescription, more

than twice the number of those in the same age group who were not enrolled in college.

The report also found that almost 90 percent of college students who used Adderall without a prescription said they had also been binge drinking in the past month, and more t han ha lf were heav y alcohol users.

Ch r is Ca r m ichael, a general studies senior, said he would need more than two hands to count the number of college students he knew who had used Adderall to help with schoolwork.

“They’re ta k ing it for a

purpose, not recreationally that I’ve seen,” Carmichael said. “But yeah, people can go overboard and stay up for two days at a time.”

Addera l l is t he bra nd name for the amphetamine salts that replaced Ritalin as the go-to medicine to treat ADHD. The drug is considered by the American Academy of Ch i ld a nd Adolescent Psych iat r y to be one of t he most ef fect ive t reatment opt ions for A DHD, when used responsibly and administered correctly.

International studies senior Khyrria Tekbali plans to return to Libya after the death of the country’s dictator, Moammar Gadhafi. Tekbali has not seen her family in four years and said she is excited to see a free Libya.

Anti-abortion advocate Elizabeth Bunster, holding a model of a six-week old fetus, said she feared more changes were on the horizon and blamed international pressure to loosen restrictions. She leads a Catholic group that counsels pregnant women not to get abortions.

Anti-abortion groups push new bills Nicole Balderas Senior Staff Writer

Since the partial appeal of the Texas sonogram law in August, anti-abortion groups have beg un lobby ing for various similar bills, including Ohio’s Heartbeat Bill and the

Protect Life Act that the U.S. House of Representatives passed Oct. 13.

The sonogram law, which is currently going through court hearings, has several of its key provisions blocked until the case is decided, but as of Oct. 1,

one provision remains: Women in Texas receiving an abortion are required to undergo an invasive vaginal sonogram at least 24 hours before an abortion is performed.

Libyan fighters captured and killed Colonel Moammar Gadhafi on Thursday when revolutionary forces overwhelmed his hometown of Sirte. Though there were conflicting accounts about the 69-year-old’s death, it is confirmed that he sustained fatal wounds during the crossfire.

Born to a Libyan father and an American mother, international studies senior Khyrria Tekbali has strong ties to the country as most of her extended family lives in Tripoli, the heart of the Libyan revolution.

“Libyans don’t have a lot of rights that Americans seem to take for granted,” Tekbali said. “If you say the wrong thing, you could be jailed.

His forces seized my family’s private property. It was a small bakery; it wasn’t a big deal for him. It was everything to my family, though.”

Tekbali, along with her

family, works closely with the Libyan-American Association of North Texas.

“Two of my uncles were arrested and tortured because they provided food to revolutionary forces,” Tekbali said. “I can’t wait to see a free Libya.

I only know what a chained Libya looks like.”

Gadhafi’s reign lasted 42 years, during which Tekbali said her family lived in a constant state of terror.

“I think his death is both good and bad,” Tekbali said.

“It’s a relief that he can’t come back. But I wish he were still alive so that he could be properly tried; so that he could look into the faces of the Libyans he tortured for 42 years.”

Tekbali said she had not been able to call her family for months because their phones were being tapped.

Her cousin called Thursday after Tripoli was freed and began the conversation with the words “Gadhafi is gone.”

“I’m excited but worried,” Tekbali said. “Being an inter-

national studies major, I know what it takes to build a country. The fight is scary, but rebuilding a country is even scarier.”

Libya’s Interim Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril held a news conference in the capital of Tripoli after Gadhafi’s death.

“We have been waiting for this moment for a long time,” he said. “Moammar Gadhafi is dead.”

Gadhafi was known for being an autocratic leader who ruled the country essentially by himself. He was also known to sponsor terrorism, including t he Lockerbie bombing.

“He lead a brutal regime,” said J. Michael Greig of the politica l science facult y.

“There was no real tolerance for opposition to Gadhafi’s rule. He had a reputation for being very unpredictable.

That quality involved him in terrorist groups.”

People celebrate in the streets amid reports of Moammar Gadhafi’s death. Anti-Gadhafi forces overwhelmed his hometown of Sirte, Libya, on Oct. 20. Even before confirmation of Gadhafi’s death came from the nation’s interim government, Libyans erupted in jubilation after early reports said he had been captured or killed.

Libya

Greig said the Libyan population hopes a democrat ic system of government w ill rise instead of a dictatorship like Gadhafi’s. However, the next step for the Libyan

government is unknown as of now.

“At t his point, we don’t k n o w w h a t ’s g o i n g t o happen,” he said. “Everyone is optimistic for a democracy because the movement that removed Gadhafi is totally Libyan.”

A l t h ou g h t h e r e i s n o institution t hat represents

a bridge to a new democracy, Greig said the country will most likely receive aid in rebuilding from the rest of the world.

“There has been a lot of talk about coordinating medical relief,” he said. “The U.S. will most likely assist Libya in rebuilding from this conflict.

Also, they’ll receive help from

NATO forces – Germany in particular.”

T he NATO bombi ng ca mpa ig n t hat event ua l ly sealed Gadhafi’s fate was led by the U.S. for a short time before Brita in a nd Fra nce assumed command. President Barack Obama told the Libyan people: “You have won your revolution.”

“The bill’s intent is simply to shame a patient into changing her mind about something that is already a difficult decision to make,” said Holly Morgan, director of media relations and communications for Planned Parenthood of North Texas.

“Leading medical organizations, including the American Med ica l A ssociat ion and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, oppose it – because they compromise a physician’s ability to decide what information or treatment is in the best interest of the patient.”

Dia n ne Ed mondson, execut ive d i rector for the Republican National Coalition for Life, promoted the passage of the sonogram bill in August, but it has been in the appeals process since then.

“The bill is not just an antiabortion bill promoting saving babies’ lives,” Edmondson said. “It is really a pro-woman bill because it is an informed consent bill for women who are seeking abortions.”

The Heartbeat Bill, which passed the Ohio House in June, challenges the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling, which upheld a woman’s right to an abortion up to 24 weeks into term. The bill would ban abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected, before some women may even know they’re pregnant.

“The bill would prohibit abortions after the baby is 20 weeks gestation because

scientific evidence shows that at 20 weeks that baby can feel pain,” Edmondson said.

In many states this bill has already been passed. Edmondson refers to it as “the pain bill,” which she said would prohibit abortions for that reason.

“Planned Parenthood believes an abortion is a constitutional right,” said Kelly Hart, director of public affairs for Planned Parenthood. “But we work every single day to help prevent unintended pregnancies and thus reduce abortions. We wish that Congress would increase, instead of cut funding for family planning, increasing access to comprehensive health care for men and women.”

The Protect Life Act, if made law, would bar federal funding for health plans that provide abortion services under the Affordable Care Act and would also allow health-care professionals to object to performing an abortion based on personal religious or moral ethics.

“The current law requires hospitals to put the life of the woman before personal religious objections,” Hart said.

“This bill would remove that expectation and say if you feel it is against your moral code it would be OK to let her die. I think we need to pay attention to the patient’s moral code and put her life ahead of moral qualms the doctor might have.”

However, all beliefs and ethics aside, Edmondson said the bill would not support this behavior.

“No one, not the most avid pro-lifer like myself, ever would refuse a woman an abortion to save her own life,” Edmondson said. “The fact of the matter is, that virtually never happens anymore.”

EPA announces new regulations for urban gas drilling Staff and wire reports The Env ironmenta l Protection Agency announced plans Thursday to regulate wastewater output from urban gas drilling.

This drilling procedure, known as “fracking,” involves shooting chemically infused water and sand at high pressure into shale formations to unlock reservoirs of natural gas.

As it stands, drilling companies are able to release water from the process into municipa l wastewater systems.

However, many treatment facilities don’t have a way to completely remove the chemicals, salt or other minerals in the wastewater before it is released into streams, said Ben Grumbles, president of Clean Water America Alliance, an association of municipal water districts and private industry.

North Texas’ Barnett Shale has been the focus of much debate lately among Denton residents who worry that urban gas drilling may be polluting their water.

Adam Briggle of the philosophy faculty put together a lecture at UNT on Thursday evening and gathered experts to educate Denton residents and t he UNT communit y

“We can protect the health of American families and communities at the same time we ensure access to all of the important resources that make up our energy economy.”

-Lisa P. Jackson EPA administrator about the process, as the city plans to rewrite its ordinances regarding drilling.

Both Briggle and Jay Ewing, Devon Energy Corporations’ manager of completion and construction, stressed the positive economic impacts drilling would have on the community, as well as its importance as a natural resource.

“It could provide a bridge to the future in natural resources like wind power,” Ewing said.

The EPA made clear when unveiling its plans that the intent is not to put a hamper on natural gas drilling or the jobs it would create.

“The president has made clear that natural gas has

a central role to play in our energy economy,” said EPA administrator Lisa P. Jackson.

“We can protect the health of A merican families and communities at the same time we ensure access to all of the important resources that make up our energy economy.”

Ewing presented on a panel w ith John Tintera, executive director of the Railroad Commission of Texas, and Tony Walker, regional director for the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

The group said its intent is to inform the community so its members can form an educated opinion on the matter.

Facebook, Labor Department join to help unemployed (MCT) WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Labor Department is hoping a popular new friend can help unemployed workers find jobs.

Labor Secretary Hilda Solis on Thursday announced a partnership with Facebook designed to connect the jobless with companies that are hiring.

The Social Jobs Partnership will aggregate a variety of existing, but often little-known, job-search services on a new Facebook page in hopes of drawing more attention to them.

“Landing on this page can help Americans land good

jobs,” Solis said at a Washington news conference with representatives from Facebook, the National Association of Colleges and Employers, the National Association of State Workforce Agencies and the DirectEmployers Association.

The partnership, which Solis hopes to expand to Twitter, LinkedIn and other socialnetworking sites, will highlight job-placement resources to match those openings to some of the people who need work.

There are about 3 million job openings in the U.S., Solis said,

and about 14 million unemployed people.

Among the services available to help match them up are 3,000 one-stop career centers nationwide, and online tools such as the Labor Department’s My Skills My Future website, which allows people to see alternative careers for their skills and get information on educational opportunities and employers for those fields that are near them.

“Our data information and services are valuable only when people know about us,” said Bonnie Elsey, president of the

National Association of State Workforce Agencies, which represents public agencies that assist the unemployed, such as the California Employment Development Department. “Just think of the expanded audience we can reach with our partnership with Facebook. We can connect more job-seekers with jobs.”

Facebook’s new page will be a one-stop shop for those looking for work, said Marne Levine, the company’s vice president for global public policy.

“Think of this as a free, online

job fair that can be accessed seven days a week, day or night,” she said. “Our labor market is changing, and so should the tools that are used to find these jobs.”

A survey this summer by recruiting site Jobvite of 800 U.S.-based human resources and recruitment professionals found that 64 percent hired through social networks this year, up from 58 percent in 2010.

“The social Web is changing the way that employers search for talent,” said Bill Warren, executive director of the DirectEmployers

Association, a nonprofit consortium of about 600 U.S. companies that focuses on recruitment and other human resources practices.

“This initiative is going to make the recruiting process easier and more efficient for both employees and job-seekers.”

In addition to creating the Facebook page, Levine said the company would launch public-service announcements on Facebook and the 10 states with the highest unemployment rates, a list led by Nevada and California.

Adderall

Continued from Page 1

The FDA classifies Adderall as a Schedule II controlled substance, placing it in the same group as cocaine and morphine, and says common side effects include the slowing of growth in children, headaches, decreased appetite, trouble sleeping and nervousness.

In cases of extensive abuse, it can cause psychosis and paranoia.

Carmichael said some of those side effects, particularly trouble sleeping, were part of the reason he knows so many college students who use Adderall.

“We’re expected to perform,” Carmichael said. “A lot of people have heavy workloads, and it seems to help as a study aid.”

According to a 2011 report from the National Center for Health Statistics, nearly one in 10 children are diagnosed with ADHD in the U.S., and it is typically up to an individual doctor’s discretion whether or not someone diagnosed with the disorder should be prescribed stimulants like Adderall.

St udent s on ca mpus seemed to agree that Adderall is a relatively sought-after commodity.

“People I don’t even know ask me if I can find Adderall,” ps ycholog y s en ior A r iel Hamilton said.

Hamilton, who said she has never taken Adderall, said the drug helped her sister, who was diagnosed with ADHD, do well in school.

“Our whole family is very scatter-brained,” Hamilton said.

Side Effects of Adderall Usage

1

Sudden unexplained death (SUD) has been associated with amphetamine abuse and it has been reported in children and adults.

2

If women are pregnant, an increased risk of premature delivery and low birth weight are possible.

3

Overdosing with amphetamine may lead to high body temperature, abnormal heart rhythms, excessively high blood pressure, seizures, coma, and death.

4

Abnormal involuntary movements or muscle twitches called tics (for example, excessive eye-blinking, nose scrunching, or shoulder shrugging)

5

Severe anxiety, panic attacks, mania, hallucinations, paranoia and delusions are all possible.

“It certainly helped her a lot.”

She said she thought some college students turned to Adderall as a “coping mechanism” to deal with stress.

“When you have a hard time focusing, it makes school harder, it makes work harder,” Hamilton said. “I understand why people might need the extra help.”

Although the pressure of doing well as a student could be overwhelming, Hamilton said there are other ways to cope.

“I didn’t know how to study until recently,” she said. “If you learn how to study and realize what you have to do, it’s not so bad.”

Jack Hannah speaks with a law enforcement officer at the site of press conference about escaped exotic animals in Muskingum County, Ohio on Wednesday, October 19, 2011. Wild bears and other beasts from an exotic-animal farm were still roaming free in a rural area of eastern Ohio on Wednesday morning, and people were being told to stay indoors, according to news reports.

49 animals killed after Ohio man releases menagerie (MCT) Zanesville, Ohio — After the shooting stopped and panic subsided, only a monkey was still at large. The death toll was 49. The carnage included one baboon, six black bears, eight lionesses and 18 rare Bengal tigers. The owner of the private menagerie also was dead.

He apparently shot himself after loosing the wild animals on a small community in rural Ohio.

“It ’s l i ke Noa h’s a rk w reck i ng r ig ht here i n Zanesville, Ohio,” said Jack Hanna, a former director of the Columbus Zoo. But local residents and animal activists nationwide didn’t speak of this sad story in Old Testament terms. For them, it was a very modern tale of inadequate laws, a night of terror, and innocent animals killed by reluctant authorities who felt they had no other choice.

The first complaint came into the Muskingum County sheriff’s office Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. An animal had wandered off Terry Thompson’s exotic animal farm near the interstate.

Then came t he ca ll of another sighting. Since 2004, there has been at least three dozen compla i nts about Thompson’s animals on the loose – a giraffe grazing by

a highway, a monkey in a tree.

Typically, Thompson was fined $75. He’d also faced more ser ious cha rges of animal mistreatment.

Recently, he served a year in federal prison for gun possession and was ordered confined for a year to home.

By t he t i me deput ies arrived at his 73-acre farm Tuesday evening Thompson, 62, was dead.

He had cut open pens and unlocked the farm gates. The tigers, black bears and lions were out, along with two wolves, a baboon, a monkey, three mountain lions and two grizzly bears.

Sheriff’s deputies, who discovered his body in the driveway, were suddenly face to face with lions and grizzlies.

“I had deputies that had to shoot animals with their side arms,” said Muskingum County Sheriff Matt Lutz told reporters.

Overnight nearly 50 armed officers headed out, in a driving rain, hunting the area around the farm. Some wore night goggles to spot animals that might be hiding behind trees.

The zoo in Columbus, Ohio, which is about 55 miles east of Zanesville, sent veterinarians with tranquilizer guns.

In one harrowing incident, Lutz said there wasn’t time to wait for a tranquilizer to take effect: “We just had a huge tiger, an adult tiger that must’ve weighed 300 pounds that was very aggressive. We got a tranquilizer in it, and this thing just went crazy.”

A nd it was shot. Word quick ly spread t hat T homp s on, w e l l-k now n to locals as a strange man with an obsession for exotic animals, had set his menagerie free.

Schools in the area were shuttered Wednesday and parents told to keep close watch on their kids.

By Wednesday morning, 49 of Thompson’s 56 animals were dead and buried on his property at the request of his distraught wife.

Authorities had captured a grizzly bear, three leopards and two monkeys, and the animals were on their way to the Columbus Zoo for safekeeping. The monkey, which might be carrying herpes B, was still missing.

Almost 24 hours since that first 911 call to his office, Sheriff Lutz described his deputies as exhausted and overwhelmed.

“We d id n’t go to t he academy and get trained on how to deal with ... Bengal tigers,” he said.

Regional and National News STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS

Contamination leads to salad recall A California-based company is recalling more than 3,000 cases of bagged salad blends, some of which were sold in Texas, because of possible salmonella contamination.

Taylor Farms Retail Inc., a company based in Salinas, Calif., initiated a voluntary recall of 3,265 cases of bagged salad blends Wednesday, as reported by the Associated Press. The recall came after the Washington State Agricultural Department detected salmonella in a randomly tested bag of spinach the company distributed. No illnesses have been reported.

The salad recalled was sold under the “best by” dates from Oct. 18 to 21 and were sold at Kroger, HEB and Wal-Mart stores in Texas.

Earthquake shakes things up in San Antonio A 4.6-magnitude earthquake struck 50 miles south-southeast of San Antonio on Thursday morning, making it the largest quake the area has experienced since 1993.

The U.S. Geolog ica l Sur vey repor ted the earthquake at around 7 a.m. Thursday morning. It was recorded only two miles beneath the surface and was felt in three surrounding counties.

T houg h no i nju r ies were repor ted, employees of a federal building in downtown San Antonio were evacuated for about two hours, according to the San Antonio Express-News.

Testing yields no new cases of TB in Denton After a week of testing in Denton High School, no new cases of active tuberculosis have been detected.

Nearly 300 students, faculty and staff at Denton High School were tested for active TB on Oct. 11. No cases were detected, and there is no indication of a TB outbreak at the school.

Last week, a transfer student from Ennis High School tested positive for TB and initiated the health scare. Health officials administered chest X-rays to determine if the illness had spread and found less than 5 percent displayed reactions that indicated TB exposure.

Plano reality TV star indicted for child pornography Plano resident Morgan Wilson was indicted Thursday for having sexually explicit files on his computer involving children.

Wilson, 38, was arrested last year following a police raid on his Plano apartment. The indictment states Wilson’s computer contained files depicting sex acts with children between the ages of 2 and 10, according to CBS DFW. Wilson is the executive pastry chef at Dallas’ Ritz-Carlton Hotel and starred in the 2010 season of “Top Chef: Just Desserts” on the Bravo network.

According to attorneys, Wilson admitted to viewing the videos and will go on trial for a seconddegree felony. Wilson is currently free on bond.

Mean Green welcomes Warhawks to Apogee Paul B ottoni

Senior Staff Writer The UNT football team will try to earn its third straight home victory when it hosts the Louisiana Monroe Warhawks Saturday as a part of UNT’s Homecoming Weekend.

Sitting at sixth place in the Sun Belt, t he Mea n Green (2-5) must win at least one road game and all of its three home contents to be eligible for a bowl game or conference title. “ You w at c h [ U L M ] on tape, and even in their losses they’re a dominant, physical team,” UNT head coach Dan McCarney said. “We’ve got a real challenge ahead. It’s exciting; it’s Homecoming.

I’m excited to be back [at home] and have a chance to get our third win in Apogee Stadium.”

The Mean Green (2-5) has not won three straight home contests since the 2004 season – the last time UNT claimed the Sun Belt Conference crown.

UNT is 39-21-1 all time in homecoming games, but has not won a homecoming match since 2006.

“Coach Mac wants us to win more than half of our home games,” senior running back Lance Dunbar said. “If we do that, we have a good shot at being in a bowl game.”

Dunba r has a chance to make NCA A history against the Warhawks (2-4) . He needs only 36 more yards receiving to become the 25th player in NCA A history to tally 3,000 y a rd s r u sh i ng a nd 1,0 0 0 yards receiving in a collegiate career.

No. 52 UNT is the highestranked team in the competition, ranking ahead of the host school and conference foe No. 66 Florida International.

Western Kentuck y and FAU are the other Sun Belt teams slated to play.

“I think we’re easily the best team out of the Sun Belt in the tournament even though FIU have had some moments t h is fa l l,” head coach Jef f Mitchell said. “If we take care of what we do well, we should be able to come away with a victory.”

First home meet awaits UNT R y ne Gannoe Intern

The UNT swimming and diving team will face a challeng i ng f i r st home meet Saturday when it competes against the New Mexico State Aggies, a team UNT hasn’t beaten during head coach Joe Dykstra’s five-year tenure.

Coming off an impressive showing against Tulane in New Orleans this past weekend, freshmen Mona Groteguth and Krista Rossum will be important in beating the Aggies.

Groteg ut h ca me w it h in a second of breaking the school record in the 100-yard backstroke and Rossum won the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 1:04.85.

“It’ll be a good contest,” diving coach Jim Pyrch said.

“If we can stay consistent I can’t say who will win, but that will be the factor.”

The diving team could be the difference maker, Pyrch said.

“It would be nice if we can go out and win one or two

of them [events] and relieve pressure somewhere else,” he said.

In what Dysktra said was UNT’s worst performance that he has coached, the Aggies defeated t he Mea n Green 168-75 on Oct. 22 and 160-83 on Oct. 23 last season.

The Aggies will not make an upset easy with 19 swimmers returning and a strong set of freshmen.

The group is “five of the best freshman swimmers to ever step on deck at New Mexico

State,” NMSU head coach Rick Pratt said in a press release.

Dykstra said UNT won’t just rely on a few swimmers but on the depth of the team.

“If we win 40 or 50 percent of the events, then our depth will really show,” he said.

Dykstra said an outside factor that could tilt the meet in the Mean Green’s favor is NMSU’s meet against Texas Christian. The Aggies face TCU at 5 p.m. Friday, hours before t heir 11 a.m. meet against UNT.

UNT stops UALR, looks toward Arkansas State Bobby Lewis

Senior Staff Writer The UNT soccer team moved one step closer to earning the top seed in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament on Thursday with a home win over Arkansas-Little Rock Combined with Western Kentucky’s 1-0 loss to Troy on Thursday, UNT (12-4-1, 7-1-0) guaranteed itself at least a top four seed in the conference tournament, which begins Nov. 2.

Offense comes through For the sixth time this season, UNT and its opponent were scoreless at halftime, but a pair of second-half goals led the Mean Green to a comfortable 2-0 win over UALR (7-11-0, 3-6-0).

“The offense just took a little while to get going tonight,” UNT head coach John Hedlund said.

“We knew [UALR] was going to be tough, but the important thing was that we got the win.”

Senior midfielder Carly McDowell gave the UNT offense the jolt it needed with a goal in the 58th minute off an assist from fellow senior midfielder Kara Brooks. The goal was McDowell’s

“It’s just something we’ve been working on,” McDowell said of her goal. “[The ball is] floated across and you’re right in front of the goal, so it’s just one of those where you have to put it in.”

Junior midf ielder Ellen Scarfone scored her sixth goal of the season on a penalty kick nine minutes later to seal the win for the Mean Green.

Final road test UNT will play its final road game of the season Sunday against Arkansas State (6-9-2, 4-4-0), a team the Mean Green has never lost to.

The Red Wolves suffered a loss to conference-leading Denver on Thursday. If both Denver and UNT win on Sunday, Friday’s game in Denton between the two will decide the regular season conference champion.

For UNT, Hedlund said he wasn’t sure if the team would have senior forward Nikki Crocco back in the starting lineup on Sunday.

Crocco has missed the last three games with a leg injury.

“Some of these teams we’re playing, including Arkansas State, are really trying to get into the tournament now,” Hedlund said.

“We can’t overlook them toward next week, especially since it’s on the road.”

A day in the life.... [ of a campus landscaper ] BRITTNI BARNETT Senior Staff Writer

On a recent brisk and early morning, Gerald Morris, kneels on a worn, blue foam mat, Morris grasps a pair of scissors with his dirt-stained gloves and trims back the plants that threaten to spill out onto the sidewalk.

“As you can see, I’m a perfectionist,” he said. “I’ve got to manicure things the best I can.”

Morris is one of UNT’s 12 landscapers who are responsible for maintaining an estimated 10 to 15 acres of plant and flower beds and more than 2,000 trees at UNT. “We have all the landscape beds on campus,” said Scott Roush, assistant grounds supervisor in charge of landscape.

In addition to landscape, grounds services also has a 20-member turf and grass maintenance crew and a nine-member irrigation crew.

Ground services as a whole is in charge of the campus’ 425 acres, including 35 acres of sports turf.

“I oversee the quality of everything that is done,” said Lanse Fullinwider, the grounds maintenance manager. “It’s hard to cover 425 acres; the main campus is 175, but it’s still tough.”

Morris has worked with ground services for 22 years. Tuesday through Thursday, he works from 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“We all voted on it and I would just as soon work more hours and get a three-day weekend,” he said.

“I get paid to make the space look good, so that’s what I’m going to try and do.”

Morris said he has been landscaping for 35 years.

“It’s been good to me, and I’ve been good to it,” Morris said. “It never crossed my mind that I was doing landscaping. It’s just what I

ended up doing.”

Morris said planting flowers is his favorite part of the job.

While many of the plants and flowers the landscapers use are purchased, Roush said that they also grow some themselves.

“We don’t have the staff or time right now, but we are trying to get more efficiency in our greenhouses,” Roush said, adding that ground services should get an automated watering system in the next two months.

Roush prefers hot weather, but this summer’s record-breaking heat wave had him secondguessing.

“I would rather work in the summer,” he said. “I’m like my mother. I can handle the heat, but the heat we had this summer, I’m getting too old for that.”

Although he gets up at 4:30 on the mornings he works, Morris

Gerald Morris has worked for the UNT grounds facilities for 22 years and in the landscaping business for 35 years. He works Tuesday through Thursday and has had landscaping duties all around the campus. Morris said he does it for the students and that they really appreciate it. can’t imagine doing anything else.

“I couldn’t work inside,” he said.

“Bless their hearts; they stare at walls all day. I’d rather be out here so I can talk to the world.”

World Series tied as Rangers come home ­A lex Young & Jesse Sidlauskas Staff Writer / Arts & Life Editor

It took the franchise 49 years to get to the Fall Classic the first time, and less than one year for the Texas Rangers to return.

By now, most in the Dallas-Fort Worth area who weren’t fans a year ago, are now.

But if you’re still sitting at home pouting the end of your team’s season, it’s time to grab a hot dog and start relishing the local team’s success.

Don’t worry, the fanatics who followed the outcome of each of the 162-game regular season will welcome you aboard – there’s plenty of room on the bandwagon for the fair-weathers.

Even the kickoff time at this Saturday’s UNT football game was changed from 6 p.m. to 4 p.m. to accommodate the game-three World Series start time of 7:05 p.m. At local bars on game nights, long-time fans in ratty Rangers T-shirts belly-up beside bandwagoners in new, clean blue ball caps. And thus far, the Pennantwinners haven’t disappointed.

In Game 1, Cardinals utility player Allen Craig delivered the game-winning single in the sixth inning en route to a 3-2 St. Louis win.

But in Game 2 it was the Rangers rallying to score two runs in the

ninth inning off Cardinals closer Jason Motte – who had not given up a run all postseason and only one hit.

The victory at Busch field in

St. Louis means the 107th World Series will return to Arlington, Texas, tied at a game apiece.

Though the Cardina ls have more World Series victories than a ny ot her baseba ll f ra nchise except the New York Yankees and last won in 2006, Thursday night’s win was significant for several reasons.

The last time a team won the series after losing the first two games was the 1981 Los Angeles Dodgers. Thursday’s performance not only saved Texas from a two games to none deficit, it placed the odds back in the team’s favor by seizing home field advantage.

Home games give the team an edge in more than just crowd support. More like their regular

season matchups, the American League champions will utilize a designated hitter to bat in place of the pitcher, unlike games played in the National League format at Busch Stadium.

Home cooking Not having home field advantage to begin the World Series for the second year in a row isn’t the ideal situation for the Rangers, but earning a split in the first two games in St. Louis means they can win the series at home by winning all three home games.

Texas has only lost one game in the postseason at home, Game 1 of the ALDS against the scrappy Tampa Bay Rays who the Rangers beat in four games.

Every fan still remembers the offensive explosion the Rangers displayed in Game 6 of the ALCS last weekend, winning 15-5 and knocking out 17 hits in the beatdown of Detroit to clinch a World Series berth. The crowd of 51,508 was raucous and loud the entire game, helping the Rangers win the American League pennant.

Texas will need all fans front and center this year as it looks to take a series lead.

In last year’s World Series, Texas lost two games at home to the Giants, who clinched at Ranges Ballpark in Game 5.

Offense is ready to bust out Not scoring runs is a sight that many Rangers fans aren’t used

to seeing. In the first two games of the series the Rangers have only scored four runs, which is a far cry from the 6.5 runs Texas averaged against the Tigers in the ALCS. Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton has been hampered so far in the series with a strained groin, going 0-7 with an RBI on a sacrifice in Game 2. ALCS MVP Nelson Cruz is also struggling, going 1-6 in the first two games after hitting six homeruns against the Tigers last series – an MLB playoff record for a postseason series.

If the Rangers want to take control of the series, they will need their power hitters to get their groove back. Hamilton has told reporters that he thinks he is about 50 percent but the day off between Games 2 and 3 could help him get healthier.

On the other hand, Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre and second baseman Ian Kinsler have gone 7-15 in the first two games, leading the Rangers offense. They will both look to stay hot at home, where each player hit well in the ALCS. Home field won’t necessarily limit Cardinals In the first two games, the NL rules – the pitcher bats in place of the designated hitter –have clearly favored the Cardinals,

as they have taken advantage of that in both games and forced the Rangers to use utility players who haven’t seen a lot of playing time in the postseason. Returning home should be a comfort to Texas, but the Rangers shouldn’t think it necessarily gives them the advantage. The Cardina ls will have power hitter and allstar Lance Berkman to use off the bench at clutch situations in the game and he hit .301 for the season with 31 HRs and 94 RBIs.

Honda’s newest sedan fulfills its civic duty Review JONATHAN GALLEGOS Contributing Writer

Inspiration can come from the most unlikely places. It can sneak up on you like a samurai or can beat you down like a character from “Street Fighter.” As I was playing my friend’s Playstation 3, inspiration dealt its knocking blow. Japan had given the world a lot of wonderful gifts.

It brought us anime, elderly honor and cunning business prowess.

It has also been a pioneer in the automotive world. Honda came to America with low-cost economy cars. They established supply chains and engineered generally “worryfree” vehicles, which drove many consumers away from the domestic brands that reigned supreme for the first three-quarters of the 20th century.

In 2012 the Land of the Rising Sun will break dawn on the newest version of something as inherently Japanese as hibachi grills – the 2012 Honda Civic Si Sedan.

There are many stereotypes about the young men and women who have made this car popular.

This crowd likes to lower the car and pretend that they are in the movie “Fast and the Furious” by adding numerous aftermarket parts.

The result: an exploding and loyal fan base, countless performanceenhancing options and a revolution in the Asian auto market. It’s no wonder so much attention and anticipation surround the newest member of the Civic lineage.

Upon first glance, it’s easy to see the appeal of this vehicle. The styling is more aggressive than in years past, and the overall fit is snug.

When I open the door, the first thing I notice is the sporty, red stitching that

contrasts with the dark upholstery on the seats, steering wheel, 6-speed shift boot and the floor mats – just one of the extras that remind me this is after all, an Si. Stepping into the vehicle for the first time was sensory overload. I can tell that Honda has outfitted this new Si line with gadgets, buttons, switches and features akin to a 747 cockpit.

The mounted controls that cover both sides of the steering wheel put most vehicular tasks within thumbs’ reach. A forward glance and my eyes met three Star Trek-like screens in the dashboard.

The first screen displays typical engine notifications, as well as speed, and includes a shifting light that can be programmed. The second screen displays anything from audio information to a personally chosen wallpaper background. The third and largest screen acts as your entertainment and navigation screen.

The 2012 Honda Civic Si combines gas efficiency and power at a reasonable price.

After I got over the awe of the light show in front of me, I began curiously perusing to see what else this Asian dragon had to offer. I unearthed a well-placed gem as I lifted the center console lid. Inside was an ergonomically placed USB port that connects a compatible MP3 player to the vehicle’s audio system.

Honda has significantly improved its efforts to provide comforts and amenities that a younger generation

really enjoys … we appreciate that.

This whip rides around town with a comfortable posture. The cabin noise is minimal, but the 201 horsepower i-VTEC engine is ready to heat up quicker than your morning latte.

At 31 mpg on the highway, this car is also a win for our eco-friendly readers.

So there you have it. $23,000 can buy you power, panache and practicality.

Hip-hop artist brings eclectic style to Denton Pablo A rauz Staff Writer

Rapper Charles “Andy” Bothwell performs under the moniker “Astronautalis,” a name which he came up with starting out as a battle rapper in the early part of his musical career.

The music of Astronautalis is a solid blend of raw, cerebral hip-hop and melodic indie rock and is tinged with scruffy noise.

“For someone who works hard on trying to make things mean something, it doesn’t really mean anything,” he said.

Recently, Bothwell has been on an extensive national tour with 41 concerts in 45 days. He has a full band to back him up on stage, which is unusual for a hip-hop artist. In the past, he’s performed with big-name indie acts such as Tegan & Sara.

In his latest album “This is Our Science,” Bothwell combines sharp rhythms and crisp melodies with lyrics of a psychological depth. In most songs, he doesn’t just rap, but he sings along to the flow of the beats.

“The joke that I came up with to describe it is ‘historical fiction hip-hop,’” he said.

Growing up in Jacksonville, Fla., Bothwell said the skateboarding culture contributed to the diverse spectrum of influence in his music.

“I was a rap kid and all my friends were indie rock kids,” he said. “It was a really cool era to grow up and be in high school. It wasn’t necessarily cool to be one thing; it was cool to be all things,” he said.

Bothwell started his musical career in North Texas while he attended Southern Methodist University in Dallas where he graduated with a degree in theater in 2003.

Throughout his time in college, he created tapes of music, including the song “Texas Kind of Rhymes

Indie rapper Charles “Andy” Bothwell performs under the name “Astronautalis.” He will play a show tonight at Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios. Doors open at 9 p.m. with Sexist.” Just a few months after he graduated, Bothwell released his first full-length album, “You and Yer Good Ideas,” and hit the road on his first tour. His musical roots in Texas permeate through his work.

“Denton and Dallas have been really good to me,” he said. “I

love Texas; I have the intention of spending the end of my life there.”

After his success on the road and in the rap battle scene at festivals like the Cincinnati-based Scribble Jam, Bothwell signed with Fighting Records, at which point his career began to take off.

With several years of experience in the music industry, Bothwell had some advice for upcoming musicians and performers eager to reach the fruits of success.

“I’ve worked pretty much any job in any field, from construction, offices, education, washing dishes, and this is easily the hardest job I ever had. If you fail, it hurts that much more. If you screw up at your dishwashing job, it doesn’t matter because you hate that job anyway. Just be prepared to work your ass off.”

Astronauta lis w ill perform tonight at Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios. Doors open at 9 p.m.

Bothwell said he’s looking forward to being back in Denton for the night.

“I just can’t wait to be back at Jupiter House for the coffee,” he said.

FOOD SNOBS Giuseppe’s Italian Restaurant 821 N. Locust St. Denton, Texas 76201 940-381-2712 M arlene Gonzalez Staff Writer

Passing down a lane of bed-andbreakfast inns, a renovated twostory white building that was once a house is home to Giuseppe’s Italian Restaurant. The two signs out front are confusing. One reads “Giuseppe’s Italian Restaurant” and the other is for an inn.

Inside, the restaurant gives a formal vibe with abstract modern paintings. Jazz music lightens up the atmosphere; if it weren’t for the limited space, one would believe the ja zz y tunes were coming

Giuseppe’s Italian Restaurant offers patrons authentic northern Italian cuisine. The restaurant is located at 821 N. Locust St. with the dish is filling. Unlike the romana dish, the Marsala breast was sliced too thinly – a disappointment to meat lovers. But the flavor of the sliced mushrooms drizzled in Marsala wine sauce redeems the dish.

The beverage section includes coffee, soda and iced tea, each for $2. The wait staff was friendly and patient, not placing the tab on the

table until it was asked for.

Unless it’s for a special occasion like a graduation, anniversary, formal date or a family dinner, this doesn’t really fit most college students’ budgets. It’s elegant with a homey touch, considering it is a renovated house, but once the older crowd comes in around 7 p.m., you may begin to feel out of place.
