Residents voice concerns over power line routes A LEX M ACON

Senior Staff Writer Homeowners and concerned residents met with Denton Municipal Electric officials at the Civic Center Monday night in the latest attempt to hash out a compromise over the planned restructuring of an electric transmission line that will impact several neighborhoods in northeast Denton. About 75 people were at the meeting to ask questions of the DME staff on the restructuring and newest preferred route for

the transmission line. The so-called “purple route” is the cheapest proposed yet at about $20.2 million, and would directly impact the fewest homes, DME general manager Phil Williams said. “It turned out to be the cheapest because of the easement cost,” Williams said. New easements, or strips of land purchased by the city to allow for the construction of utility lines, were a point of contention with some residents, who asked about ease-

ment appraisals and the height of new transmission poles. The city requires wider easements to allow the reconstruction of the line. Williams said to account for “access and safety” and to meet new guidelines set by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, metal transmission poles along the new route would have to be constructed or existing ones upgraded to stand at about 95 feet tall. The newest proposed route is a response to resident input

rejecting the DME’s original plan, which would have required the destruction of six houses. Rebecca Brown, a representative of Brown Development Ltd., which owns several properties close to a proposed new electric substation on Kings Row, said she was still not happy with the newest plan and had attended three previous neighborhood meetings with the DME. “We just figure the farthest [the substation] could be from the neighborhood is the best,” Brown said.

Although the newest route would directly affect fewer homes, the potential noise pollution, loss of propert y value and use of land would a ll still be affected by t he

rest r uctured t ra nsmission line, Brown said. “It’s still going to impact those homes,” she said. Other residents addressed DME sta f f w it h concer ns about obtaining permits for the line to cross over state and railroad property, respectively. DME would need a permit from the Texas Department of Transportation to go through with the current plan.

Giant plumes of smoke rise from the Magnablend chemical processing plant in Waxahachie, Texas on Monday. The plant went up in flames in a massive industrial fire that unleashed a noxious plume of black smoke that could be seen for miles.

Chemical plant fire leads to evacuations WAXAHACHIE, Texas (AP) — A fire sparked as workers mixed chemicals at a plant south of Dallas shot massive plumes of black smoke and bright orange flames into the sky Monday, forcing schoolchildren and residents to evacuate or take cover indoors to avoid possible exposure to dangerous gases. Flames engulfed a large complex at a Magnablend Inc. facility in Waxahachie. The fast-moving blaze overwhelmed a sprinkler system and consumed a fire truck, but no injuries were reported

from the fire or resulting smoke. Wa xahachie Fire Chief David Hudgins said it wasn’t immediately clea r what chemicals were involved in sparking the fire. About 1,000 residents who had been evacuated were allowed to return to their homes early Monday evening, said Waxahachie Fire Department spokeswoman Amy Holly wood. Waxahachie, 30 miles south of Dallas, has about 25,000 residents. The blaze was 95 percent

u nder cont rol by ea rly Monday evening, Hollywood said. In a statement, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said it has monitored air quality both on the ground and through a specially equipped airplane that made several passes through the smoke plume caused by the blaze and officials have not found elevated levels of toxic chemicals. The EPA said it “will continue to conduct ground level air monitoring.” Magnablend spokesman

Donald Golden told WFAA-TV that 25 to 30 employees who were inside the plant’s 100,000-square-foot warehouse evacuated safely when the fire broke out before 11 a.m. Golden said the company manufactures about 200 products, including some that are hazardous when ignited. Authorities had ordered residents closest to the plant to evacuate, while others were advised to stay inside with doors and windows shut.

Mean Green falls to Golden Hurricane PAUL BOTTONI

Senior Staff Writer For the fourth time this season, the UNT football team allowed an opponent to score more than 40 points – and for the fourth time this season, the Mean Green lost. The Tulsa Golden Hurricane (2-3) won its first home game of the season Saturday night, defeating UNT 41-24. After the loss, the Mean Green (1-4) ranks sixth out of nine teams in the Sun Belt Conference. “We lost to an outstanding Tulsa team,” UNT head coach Dan McCarney said. “We made their job easier tonight with some

of the mistakes we’ve made.” The Mean Green was without sophomore starting quarterback Derek Thompson, who was sidelined with a foot injury he suffered in Week 4 against Indiana. He is day to day, McCarney said. Freshman Andrew McNulty started in Thompson’s place. “We knew early in the week it was going to either be [sophomore Brent Osborn] or Andy McNulty,” McCarney said. “We graded and evaluated them and made the decision on Thursday that Andy was the most consistent guy in practice and deserved to start.” McNulty went through highs

and lows in his first collegiate start. The freshman threw two interceptions, which were returned for touchdowns, but settled down as the game progressed. Osborn replaced McNulty in the fourth quarter. The Mean Green dominated the time of possession, controlling the ball for 40 minutes, 53 seconds. UNT took the ball into Tulsa territory numerous times only to have the drives stall. UNT senior running back Lance Dunbar built off his breakout game against Indiana, rushing for 140 yards against Tulsa and scoring two touchdowns late in the game. But despite Dunbar’s

Between 5 and 20 percent of the U.S. population develops influenza each year, leading to more than 200,000 hospitalizations from related complications, including anywhere from 3,000 to 49,000 flu-related deaths, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This month marks the beginning of the flu season, and although the season most often peaks in February, UNT’s Student Health & Wellness Center is offering the flu vaccine now. “We actually haven’t had any confirmed flu diagnoses,” said June Brownlee, administrative director for the center. “The wave just hasn’t hit us yet. This is the second year we’re offering free flu vaccinations to students and discounted shots for faculty and staff. We want our students to remain healthy throughout the upcoming flu season.” To help prevent the flu, it is recommended that people get the vaccine yearly. People at high risk for this virus include young children, pregnant women and people with chronic health conditions like asthma and diabetes. “I’ve had asthma since I was about three years old,” said Trey Pemberton, a pre-biology freshman. “My roommate

efforts, the outcome of the game was already sealed. “That’s the difference between a team that knows how to win, make plays and execute, and a team that’s still in the process of learning how to win,” McCarney said. “There’s nobody around here accepting it.” UNT lost sophomore kicker Zach Olen and senior wide receiver Michael Outlaw to injuries during the game, but McCarney said he is optimistic both will play next week. Players were unavailable for comments.

recently got sick. I’m worried because I have a weak immune system that I might get sick too, so I’ve been washing my hands and cleaning our room with disinfectants a lot.” Common signs and symptoms of the flu include fever over 100 F, aching muscles, chills, sweats, headache, dry cough, fatigue and nasal congestion, according to the CDC’s website. “Last semester I got hit with the worst virus,” said Anaisa Garza, a pre-psychology sophomore. “For the first couple days I had a runny nose, a cough and really weak muscles. The third night, I got violently ill. It was the worst experience of my life. This semester, I’m trying to eat healthier, wash my hands, and drink more water to keep from getting the flu again.” A quick recovery from the flu is dependent on what is done in advance to stay healthy and active. This prepares the immune system to battle inf luenza, according to the CDC’s website. Antiviral drugs from the doctor reduce time spent sick with the flu if taken between 24 and 48 hours of when symptoms first appear. While most people recover from influenza, it can be fatal. Difficulty breathing is a key sign that your former flu has turned into bronchitis or pneumonia.

Texas drought could last another year FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — The Texas drought that has led to crop losses and devastating wildfires is expected to last another year and possibly longer, weather experts said Monday. Te x a s and some surrounding states are prone to long-term drought over t he nex t decade based on weat her patterns, but t hat doesn’t mean it will happen, said state climatologist John Nielsen-Gammon. “ We’r e at a p er io d of enhanced drought suscept ibi l it y ; t he possibi l it y ex i st s,” Niel sen-Ga m mon said Monday at an annua l cl i mate c on ferenc e, a l so featuring National Weather Service forecasters and climatologists from the National Ocea n ic a nd At mospher ic Administration. T he weat her cond it ions t hat ca n lead to d roug ht usually last about 20 years

“We’re at a period of enhanced drought susceptibility; the possibility exists.” —John Nielsen-Gammon State climatologist once a century or so, and this pattern started in 2000, he said. But Texas had not been in a state of drought since then. There was a lot of rainfall in 2007, he said. The current drought started last fall with the arrival of the La Nina weather condition t hat causes below-nor ma l ra i n fa l l, a nd t hen i n t he spring, the wettest months of the year were anything but. Now the drought is expected t o d r a g on f or a not he r yea r because La Nina has returned, said Victor Murphy,

a climate ex per t w it h t he National Weather Service in Fort Worth. There’s a 25 percent chance Texas’ drought w ill persist another five years, NielsenGammon said. “Once we get pa st t h is period of vulnerability, the chances go down,” he said. This is the worst one-year d roug ht i n Tex a s h istor y, already costing the agriculture a nd catt le indust r ies more than $5 billion. T he low ra i n fa l l a nd scorching temperatures have

d r ied up ma ny r iverbeds, prompting some wildlife biologists to rescue threatened fish that are found only in one Texas river in the world. Hundreds of wildfires have blackened some 6,000 square miles a nd destroyed more than 2,700 homes in the state since the fire season started nearly a year ago. Nielsen-Gammon said it’s too soon to predict if t his will surpass the state’s worst drought in history, which was from 1949 to 1957. Texas got 30 to 50 percent less rain than normal, and temper at u res rose above average du r ing t hat t ime. Water supplies ra n so low some communit ies had to impor t it f rom Ok la homa. Farms and ranches failed. And the lack of rain actually changed the state’s demographics because so many families f led rural agricultural areas for cities.

Correction In last Friday’s edition of the paper, the Daily included a story about student fees, which incorrectly stated that the Student Service Fee Committee consists of faculty, staff and students. The committee is made up of only students. The article also said the $50 Union fee is new and pays for renovations of the University Union. The fee is not a new fee, but was raised $1 from last year’s fee of $49. It does not pay for renovations of the building, as the Union Master Plan has not been passed. The fee pays for programs, services and upkeep of the facility.

Children as young as 2 years old cruised toward Dallas’ One Art Plaza on their decorated tricycles, bicycles, scooters and wagons. In preparation for the Art in Motion parade, these vehicles became art on wheels as brightly colored beads circled and dangled across handlebars and pom-poms, and flags whipped in the air as the parade rolled down Flora Street. The Art in Motion parade launched the first day of Art in October in the Dallas Arts District. “Our goal is to bring new audiences to the district and allow visitors to see the arts district in new ways,” said Veletta Forsythe Lill, executive director of the Dallas Arts District. “The idea of Art in October is to get people to come to Arts District and see its many layers.” Art in October is a monthlong celebration that commemorates the various venues collected in north Dallas, while also highlighting a new season of performing arts and exhibitions that will be performed by

Professor recognized for Miranda Rights research M ARLENE GONZALEZ Staff Writer

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you. While you’ve probably heard this on cop shows, research from psychology faculty member Richard Rogers shows that the words that follow – the Miranda Rights – are often misinterpreted in real life. Rogers’ research has won him the 2011 Award for Distinguished Contributions for Research in Public Policy from the American Psychological Association. According to the APA website, the award honors a psychologist who has made a difference to research in public policy by contributing a hypothesis or delivered results of an experiment or observations, whether it is a single idea or decades of work. “It’s a universality of TV. People believe what is on TV is real,” Rogers said. “One of my real concerns is many times I don’t think they actually listen to it very well because they think they’ve heard it all before.” Rogers said he’s found records for as many as 40 different Miranda readings in one county while studying changes in length and word choice. “One-third [of] college students and one-third of criminal defendants think ‘if I remain silent that will be used against me, that’s incriminating evidence,’” Rogers said. “If I think, ‘I’m damned if I do [speak] and I’m damned if I don’t,’ why not give it a try.” Rogers’ research also shows people aren’t always told they can ask for an attorney at any time. Even after saying they do not want one, that answer can be revoked. Rogers said this is one of the five components that complete the Miranda Warning. The components include the right to remain silent, anything said used against you, the right to a lawyer, being provided a lawyer and being able to use any of these rights at any given moment during questioning. Rogers said most jurisdictions require a college education to be understood. For example, the way a juvenile grasps the information is different from how a Spanishspeaking person receives it. Eric Drogin from the Harvard Medical School faculty nominated Rogers for the award and was delighted to see him receive it.

Richard Rogers of the psychology faculty received an award from the American Psychological Association on Aug. 6 for his contributions to research on people’s comprehension of the Miranda Rights. “Dr. Rogers is the foremost researcher in the country concerning Miranda Warnings from the psychological perspective,” Drogin said. “Dr. Rogers has conducted the best research on this topic and the award for distinguished contribution is designed for that sort of recognition.” Chelsea Fiduccia, a psychology graduate student, has been working with Rogers in the mock crime studies, where students try to steal a watch without being caught inside a room in Terrill Hall. If caught, they must undergo an interrogation as though they were being arrested. “We’re not able to do mock crimes with offenders, so we do

them here,” Fiduccia said. Anxiety responses are noted and how much students can remember about their rights while under pressure, even if they know it isn’t real, Fiduccia said. Nathan Gillard, a psychology graduate student, said he began working with Rogers and collecting data for mock crime studies from spring 2008 to spring 2009. In the first study, 120 participants were involved, he said, and another one is still taking place. “I thought some of the most interesting parts was how nervous people get even though it wasn’t a real crime,” Gillard said.

throughout the month. Of those, more than 70 events will be offered at no charge. “October is an important time of year for many institutions,” Lill said. “Eventually this will be a broader event that will go beyond the boundaries of the Arts District.”

The Dallas Yarn Bombers knitted colorful sleeves around the trees, railings and public benches around the Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House and AT&T Performing Arts Center. The yarn bombing was devoted to the musical “Hair” at the Opera House. The most anticipated event is Aurora, Lill said. “It should be pretty awesome,” she said. Aurora is new this year and will feature nearly 100 artists’ work, combining installations of light, sound, performance and video projections both on and

Barktoberfest unleashes fun for dogs and owners DAISY SILOS Staff Writer

In their Halloween costumes, dogs made paintings and competed in hot dog-eating contests among other competitions last Saturday at the seventh Barktoberfest at North Lakes Park on Saturday. Denton Humane Society President Lisa Wighaman said the festival has gotten more publicity over the years and reaches out to more people each year. “We wanted something fun to let people know the different ways we can help,” she said. Wighaman said this year was the largest turnout the festival has ever had. “I think it’s because we didn’t book it on the Texas vs. OU weekend,” she said. Barktoberfest events this year ranged from a costume contest to a poochie Picasso booth, where dogs would dip their paws in paint and leave their mark on a sheet of paper for the owners to display. The contest that gathered the biggest crowd was the weenie-eating contest. “You would think this big huge dog would come up and eat the weenie in two seconds when it turns out they just sniff

it and walk off,” Winghaman said. “They never do what you want them to do when you’re in a contest.” Kristin Becknal, a theatre senior, entered her dog Chrissi in the weenie-eating contest this year, and said she had a lot of fun even though they finished last. “She was the slowest by far; she likes to take her sweet time chewing her food,” she said. “But [Barktoberfest] is a lot of fun and there are things for everyone to enjoy.”

Not just fun and games The Denton Animal Shelter was there to announce progress on its latest project, the Linda McNatt Animal Care and Adoption Center. Gary Steele, chairman for the Denton Animal Shelter Foundation, said Barktoberfest was the best event to discuss the progress of the shelter expected to open in spring 2013. “We wanted to create an environment where we can make a difference for animals and the city of Denton,” he said. Steele said they raised $2.1 million in a 16-month time span and the city provided $3.5 million. “Everyone has been very

supportive, and it’s something that’s been long overdue,” he said. Another organization that participated in this year’s Ba rktober fest was UNT’s Organization for Reinforcement

Contingencies with Animals, also known as ORCA. Mary Hunter, president of ORCA, said this organization is for graduate students who help train animals to be more adoptable. “One of the biggest issues at the shelters is that dogs get adopted, but later get returned either because of training or behavioral issues,” she said. ORCA members know how to train all types of animals. For example, they’ve worked with cats, macaws and raccoons. “Our staff is well trained and each brings a diverse back-

ground that we all learn from each other,” she said. Free training classes will be offered to those who adopt animals from the Denton Humane Society to help with

any training issues. “We’re hoping by offering free classes, people will learn how to train them and be happy with their dogs instead of returning them,” Hunter said.

Students perform Tony Award-winning drama HOLLY H ARVEY Staff Writer

The UNT department of dance and theatre gives audiences a glimpse into the shambles of a couple’s marriage in performances of Edward Albee’s “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” The show premiered last week and will be performed another five

times this weekend. The play tells of the disintegration of a marriage between the two main characters, George and Martha, and involves another young couple in their problems as well. George and Martha constantly battle each other in a series of threatening games to bring the other one down.

“The whole show is about character relationships,” said Sarah Baston, a theatre sophomore and a cast member. “It’s all about the interaction and the games they play.” “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” originally opened in 1962 and was considered a groundbreaking look at marriage for its

time, said Andrew Harris, a theatre faculty member and director of the play. The writer of the play, Edward Albee, is America’s most famous playwright, and the play explores new themes that were controversial for its time, Harris said. “It’s a dark, grotesque look at a marriage,” he said. Much of the play is acted out on the set, which is designed to look like a living room with 12-foot walls. As the power struggle rages between the couple, the set changes as well, said set designer

and theatre sophomore Danica Bergeron. “Looking at George and Martha’s area, you can see George’s area creeping into hers within the show, and it’s a little bit of foreshadowing,” Bergeron said. The challenging set was originally too large for the space and had to be altered, but still maintains its imposing design and “makes you feel like you’re right in there,” said technical director Joe Truitt, a theatre senior. Another challenge facing the

cast was the prospect of playing a couple in their 50s, said cast member Ryan Dickerson, a theatre senior. Elizabeth Taylor won the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1967 for her performance as Martha in the film version of the play. “It’s difficult as an actor to play a type of age and type of character like in the play, and it’s a change to work with things like this,” Dickerson said. The cast started rehearsing on Aug. 18, and one of the reasons the play was selected is because of the outstanding lead roles, Harris said. Several lead roles involve twisted moments where they try to choke or completely devastate another person. “It’s not for kids or for light entertainment,” said Hallie Davidson, a theatre junior who plays the character Martha. “You won’t leave in a good mood.” “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” will be performed Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. in the Radio, TV, Film & Performing Arts Building. Tickets are $7.50 for UNT faculty and students and $10 for adults.

Defense brings Mean Green two road wins BOBBY LEWIS

Injury note

Senior Staff Writer It didn’t take long for the UNT soccer team to assert its dominance on Sunday to cap off a strong weekend in Louisiana and push its winning streak to four games. The Mean Green (9-3-1, 4-0-0) defense thrived in shutout road wins against Louisiana Monroe and Louisiana Lafayette as the team remained undefeated in Sun Belt Conference play.

Sophomore Allison Guderian, one of the team’s starting defenders, injured her ankle over the weekend in what Hedlund said he thought was a high ankle sprain. She will have an MRI today to determine the exact injury. Her status for this weekend’s home games is uncertain.

Scarfone comes through

Balanced attack

For the fourth straight game, UNT failed to score in the first half, but junior midfielder Ellen Scarfone’s penalty kick six minutes into the second half was all the cushion the team needed to secure a 1-0 win over ULM (5-7-1, 0-4-0) Friday. “We beat Monroe 1-0, but I thought we could have played much better offensively,” head coach John Hedlund said. “I really challenged our offense afterwards

UNT had only scored more than two goals in two of its last six games before Sunday’s game at Louisiana Lafayette (4-8-1, 0-4-0). By the time the teams went to the locker room for ha lf time, UNT a lready had a 3-0 lead en route to its second consecutive 4-0 win over ULL. “It just makes everybody’s job easier when we’re putting the ball in the net and the

UNT volleyball team served a weekend sweep BRETT MEDEIROS Staff Writer

Playing in its first road conference games of the season, the UNT volleyball team struggled in the Bayou State, falling to Sun Belt foes University of Louisiana Monroe and University of Louisiana-Lafayette. The losses brought t he Mean Green (10-9, 1-3) down the conference standings, as UNT fell from second place to fifth place in the Sun Belt West Division. “Somebody always either

wins or loses,” head coach Ken Murczek said. “Unfortunately, we were on the wrong side of it this past weekend. We’re getting the chances, but we just have to make plays at the end.”

Louisiana Monroe UNT had a 17-match win streak against the Warhawks (8-6, 2-2) snapped, as it lost to ULM in five sets (17-25, 26-24, 25-23, 20-25, 15-13). The backand-forth match included 14 ties and six lead changes and ULM’s second win against

a Sun Belt team in its last 83 attempts. “Every set we lost was by two points; it could have gone either way,” Murczek said. “We just didn’t make plays when we needed to.” The Mean Green attack struggled, hitting .175 and committing 42 errors. UNT is now 3-8 when hitting less than .200. “We’re still trying to figure things out, work out some kinks and find a line out that we can put on the floor consistently,” Murczek said.

Louisiana-Lafayette After dropping the first two sets, the UNT volleyball team pushed back by winning the third set, but fell in a competitive fourth set to the Cajuns (9-12, 1-4). “We’ve had a lot of road trips recently, and we play this coming weekend on the road again,” Murczek said. “We just need to take a deep breath.” UNT returns to action against Arkansas-Little Rock in Arkansas Friday. Players were not available for comment.

Dietz leads way for UNT AUSTIN SCHUBERT Staff Writer

O n a c loud y S at u rd ay morning in Stillwater, Okla., t he men’s a nd w omen’s cross-countr y teams competed i n t hei r la rgest and toughest meet of t he season at t he 75t h a nnua l Cowboy Jamboree. Facing a slew of nationally ranked teams, the men finished 26th in a field of 29 teams and the women took 15th in a field of 20. Tournament host Oklahoma State took first in both the men’s and women’s races. In the men’s 8k race, senior Michael Sandoval (161st) and sophomore Matt Russ (162nd) led the way for the seven UNT runners, f inishing just .28 seconds apart: 26:41.67 and 26:41.95 respectively. “Our hill training helped us run strong on the hills,” Sa ndova l sa id. “We got to the top of the hills and kept pushing. That’s where you catch a lot of people.” Fresh men Au rel io Si lva ( 219 t h ) a nd Ju s t i n Pau l (270th) and sophomore Aleksi Ikonen (274th) rounded out the top five for the men as they totaled 405 points as a team. “The guys are still looking to build momentum before conference,” head coach Sam Burroughs said. “The higher training mileage has helped, but we must build our fitness more.” Diego Estrada of Northern Arizona pulled away from the field of 324 to win the race in a time of 23:34. On the women’s side, senior Sara Dietz opened her season with a 27th-place finish in 18:10. “This is the fastest 5k I’ve ever run,” Dietz said. “I’m happy with my time, but I’m just taking it as a stepping stone to my u lt imate goa l

of getting top seven in the conference meet.” Following Dietz, freshmen Ellie Arends and Blake Geary ca me across i n 96t h a nd 109th, beginning a span in w h ich f ive U N T r u n ner s finished in the next 40.

Men’s golf rebounds for fourth-place finish I AN JACOBY Intern

Two week s ago at t he Golf week Conference C h a l le n ge i n Iow a , t he men’s team struggled to stay competitive and ended the weekend with a disappointing 13th-place finish. The No. 40 Mean Green got back on track this weekend a t t h e W i l l i a m Tu c k e r Intercollegiate in Albuquerque, N.M., regrouping for a fourthplace finish. “We changed the lineup,” head coach Brad Stracke said. “I believe this energized the team to perform at a higher level.” A higher level of play was necessary given the field UNT was facing. No. 11 UNLV took first place by four shots over

No. 15 New Mexico, while UNT beat nationally ranked teams like No. 10 Colorado. The biggest factor in the tea m’s success was junior Carlos Ortiz. A fter a frust rat i ng 42nd-place f i n ish in Iowa, Ortiz finished the Intercol leg iate t ied for a team-high third place with a 1-under-par, 216. “Carlos has always been confident, and he played more like himself this past tournament.” Stracke said. “He can still play a lot better, and I hope Carlos proves this at the next tournament.” A lso contributing to the team’s success were junior Rodol fo Ca zaubon a nd freshman Jason Roets, who tied for 18th individually. The tournament was Roets’ first.

“Our ranking is accurate right now because of our second tourna ment rea lly affected our ranking,” Stracke said. “If you would take out the Golfweek event we would be in the top 20. Unfortunately, you have to count all the tournaments just like all your shots in golf.” Stracke said he believes the team has the correct mindset going for ward and should contend in its upcoming tournament. “The guys know they have to work harder to have success in the postseason,” Stracke said. The team will compete next at the Lone Star Invitational from Oct.16-18. Players were unavailable for comment.

Rangers take series lead against Rays ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Once again, the Texas Rangers look perfectly comfortable under the roof at Tropicana Field. Colby Lew is outpitched A ll-Star Dav id Price, Mike Napoli hit a go-ahead homer and the defending AL champions survived a shaky effort f rom t he bu l lpen to hold off the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 Monday in Game 3 of their best-of-five playoff. The Rangers’ fourth straight

d iv i sion ser ies road w i n matched t he t hird-longest streak in major league history a nd gave t hem a 2-1 lead heading into Game 4. Texas won three ALDS games at Tampa Bay a year ago, when it eliminated the Rays in five games. The Rangers will send lefthander Matt Harrison to the mound Tuesday against rookie Jeremy Hellickson. “We don’t take these guys lightly because they’ve got

momentum, they’ve got a lot of heart,” Rangers CEO and president Nolan Ryan said. “That concerns you a lot, and so we know we’ve got our hands full with them.” Playing in front of the first sellout at home since opening day and hoping to recapture the magic of clinching the AL wild card in the regularseason fianle, Tampa Bay got a pair of solo home runs from rookie Desmond Jennings. The Rays kept it interesting

by scoring twice off Rangers relievers before Neftali Feliz got four outs for his second save of the series. Texas third baseman Adrian Belt re, play i ng deep a nd guarding the line to prevent a double in the ninth, started an around-the-horn double play on Kelly Shoppach’s grounder to end it. “That was one intense ballgame,” Washington said. “And we needed everything that we got from everyone today.”

Road Woes Continue for UNT After falling behind early, the Mean Green football team let turnovers and spotty pass defense get in the way in its loss to Tulsa. Golden Hurricanes quarterback G.J. Keenum had no trouble moving the Tulsa offense, scoring three times in the first half. Tulsa’s defense also played a role, returning two interceptions for touchdowns. A pair of late Lance Dunbar touchdowns weren’t enough to help UNT win its first road game in 2011.

EPA could learn to compromise

Set students on a path to graduate Editorial As universities across the state celebrate enrollment growth at their campuses, a nonprofit group released figures on Monday that could rain on their parade. While more students are showing up to Texas public universities each year, they are taking too long to leave with a diploma – that is, if they earn one at all. The report by Complete College America observed completion rates from public universities in 33 states that decided to participate in the study. In Texas, only 25 percent of students obtain their bachelor’s degree in four years. About 56 percent of students take six years to earn their bachelor’s degree. However, UNT is well below the state average. Only 19 percent of students graduate in four years at UNT and 48 percent of students graduate within six years. The report goes on to list a number of reasons for the low graduation rates: budget cuts affecting low-income students, students who enter college needing remedial classes, and a lack of students attending tutoring sessions. If it were up to CCA, state legislatures would use graduation rates to determine a university’s funding rather than allowing enrollment figures to be the deciding factor. No matter how effective the suggestion sounds, enacting it would send universities dashing toward a distant finish line rather than encouraging them to find a steady stride. Instead, the Editorial Board believes UNT should adopt a more efficient advising process by switching to a one-time session in which advisers and students plan out all four years during the student’s first semester. Currently, students meet with their advisers every semester before they’re eligible to register for classes. Often, registration season comes along during the most stressful time of the semester – after midterms and near finals. The bigger the college or department, the more time students end up having to wait for a meeting with their adviser. This semester-to-semester system simply leaves too much room for students to slip through the cracks. With a four-year plan being made in a one-time advising session, students would have a clear path to graduate on time. This would ensure students could register for the classes they need to take regardless if they were able to meet with their adviser or not. More importantly, this would allow advisers more time to concentrate on students who happen to veer off their graduation plan and give them ample time to help them get back on track. UNT has said it is committed to providing students with an opportunity to pursue their dreams. However, the university should recognize not every student’s situation is the same. Some students have a change of heart and realize their major is not meant to be their career path when they come to UNT, while others manage to graduate a semester early. If UNT wishes to help its students succeed, it will put them on a path straight to success and allow advisers to focus on the students who happen to stumble.

Only 25 percent of full-time students at Texas public universities graduate in four years. What do you think is the cause of this trend?

If you’ve been habitually reading the views page, you’ve probably noticed that I’m a frequent critic of Gov. Perry, especially when it comes to slashing education, promoting t he “t heor y” of intelligent design and refuting 97 percent of climatologists from around the world. I hate to admit it, but this time Mr. Perry might have a point. This s u m mer, the Env ironmenta l Protect ion Agency (EPA) informed energy companies in 27 states that they are required by the CrossState Air Pollution Rule (CSAR) to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions by 67 percent and to make significant reductions to nitrogen oxide emissions by Jan. 1, 2012. The EPA makes a compelling argument; after looking over the CSAR, it is clear the smokestacks in Texas result in pollution all over the eastern half of the U.S. The EPA projects that by 2014 these policies will reduce

premature deaths by 34,000 people per year. Last week, Gov. Perry wrote a letter to President Obama claiming that these regulations are a “job killer” and will have an “immediate and devastating effect on Texas jobs, our economy and our abilit y to supply t he electricity our citizens, schools and employers need.” Lumina nt is t he la rgest energ y company in Texas, with four coal plants, nine coalmines, eight gas plants and one nuclear power plant. It has been leading the pack aga i nst CSA R si nce t hei r inclusion. On the company’s website, it claims the new regulations will render them to useless and also cause a loss of 500 jobs within the company. Usua l ly I wou ld be t he first person to tell the energy companies to stop whining and wipe their tears with the millions in profit they make every year, but this time I’m going to throw them a bone.

Based on statistics from 2005, I think the EPA would be more realistic if it reduced the regulations for this deadline and continued to raise em ission reduct ion sta ndards with each year until it meets its goal of 73 percent reductions in sulfur dioxide and 54 percent of reductions in nitrogen diox ide that is planned by 2014. I personally would like to see President Obama order the EPA to reduce the regulations for this year’s deadline. A lt hough I believe President Obama may have made too ma ny compromises in the past, such as extending Bush-era tax cuts, this compromise would prove to be more functional and hopef ully it would reduce some tensions between our particularly polarizing political parties. I would like to reiterate how necessary the EPA is in our society. It took more than 100 years for the EPA to be created

to protect the environment and citizens alike from corporations trying to cut corners in any way they can to secure more profits. As most politicians argue, the ends usually justify the means, and if the EPA can meet its standards by 2016 or 2018, instead of 2014, I think it would be a w in-w in for energy companies, workers, consumers, bureaucrats and politicians.

Denton should expand alcohol sales The residents of each city in Texas decide on liquor laws by voting on the issue during elections. Denton is in the heart of the “Bible Belt” that squeezes the sense out of this issue, which has long been put to rest in other parts of the country. A s it c u r rent ly st a nd s, Denton is damp, or “semi-wet,” as referred to by people in the industry. A UNT student can finish class, cross Fry Street and choose from numerous bars in this popular area of our community. W hile in the chosen bar, that student can choose from an array of drinks ranging from beer to wine and, yes, even the “hard stuff.” Liquor can be sold and consumed at bars and restaurants as long as t hose beverages do not leave the premises. The absurd issue is t he absence of liquor in retail stores. Students who are 21 years of age or older know

they can walk into Kroger and purchase wine and beer, but they will not find Bacardi or Captain Morgan or any hard liquor. These adults must make the inconvenient drive south to Lake Dallas or Highland Village to get liquor for the big house party celebrating the end of the semester. This is not fair to the consumer, and it certainly is not fair to Denton. Our city is losing a great deal of money by prohibiting the sale of liquor. By voting to revoke this law, Denton would help create many new businesses and all of the jobs t hat go a long w it h t hem. UNT students and Denton residents a li ke a re g iv ing their well-earned money to bordering cities, and Denton sees none of the profit. Some a rg ue t hat l iquor stores promote crime and that Denton residents do not want that kind of presence in their

city. They are wrong. Highland Village has permitted the sale of alcohol for years. Goody Goody Liquors opened its doors t here in September 1999. This small community is not often mentioned for its high crime rate. In the most current crime statistics (2010), Highla nd Village had 44 crimes per 100,000, according to cit ydata.com. That is way below the national average of 319.2. Denton ended that year with 239 crimes per 100,000. The popu lat ion s of H ig h la nd Village and Denton are 17,496 a nd 127,251, respect ively. Crime statistics will naturally rise given the population, not the items sold in stores. Another argument by many suppor ters of t he cu r rent Denton law is t hat liquor sa les could worsen fa mily violence. Again, in Highland Village, of fenses involv ing family violence have fallen from 32 in 2007 and 40 in 2008

to just eight in 2009. It does not matter where the liquor is sold – drinkers will find their booze. Residents of Denton need to voice their opinion and get t his issue back on t he ba llot as soon as possible. Prohibition ended in 1933. It is time for Denton to loosen its belt and let in these businesses and jobs.
