Local Wiki project takes off NICOLE BALDERAS Senior Staff Writer

Localwiki.org began as a grassroots technology movement in Davis, Calif., but has spread to Denton. The Local Wiki project is a form of experimental community journalism created to collect and share information about cities from the people who inhabit them. Dentonwiki.org, which first launched in January 2011, has been a collaborative effort of Denton’s city-dwellers and is now moving to its next phase, which will include the updating of the site’s software to the new Local Wiki software.

Unlike the site’s previous sof t wa re, which required users to code individual pages, the new local wiki software, co-created by Davis resident Philip Neustrom, challenges sites like Wikipedia in the area of user-friendliness. “There are a lot of problems with what’s out there softwarewise with wiki sites,” Neustrom said. They’re all really difficult to use and also they’re never locally focused.” Denton was chosen as the pilot community for the Local Wiki project after Dentonwiki creators Ritch Ludlow and A nd r e w Br oz c ont ac te d Neustrom.

“We’ve always wanted to move L oc a l W i k i beyond D a v i s ,” N e u s t r o m s a i d . “We’re a not-for-profit group, so we just never had t he resources.” Si nce receiv i ng a g ra nt from the Knight Foundation to do the project, Neustrom s a id it h a s b e en e a s ier to focus on helping communities start their own local wikis. T he website lau nches it s ne w s of t w a r e t o d a y, making Denton the first city outside of Davis to use the new technology.

At 8 a.m., Diana Mason sauntered into CHEM 109 pushing a cart containing two inflated red and yellow balloons, a box of dry ice, six test tubes, three pairs of blue ear muffs and a blow torch and announced, “I guess now is as good a time as any to set off

the fire alarms.” She lit a blowtorch and touched t he f la me to a floating balloon inflated with hydrogen. The reaction sent a ball of fire into the air and a sudden flash of heat throughout the room. The mix of hydrogen from the balloon and oxygen from

the air around it reacts violently when coming in contact with an open flame. A not her demonst rat ion Mason performed filled the room with smoke after a block of dry ice shot out sparks for a solid 20 seconds.

Senior Staff Writer The Mean Green soccer team made sure its six seniors honored in the last home game of their careers went out on a high note on Friday. Defeating Denver for the first time since 2005, the Mean Green captured its fourth Sun Belt Conference regular season title with a 1-0 victory against the Pioneers. Going into the game, UNT (13-4-2, 8-1-1) had lost seven consecutive games to the Pioneers. “We knew this wasn’t going to be easy, but we knew we

were going to give them the best challenge we could and that we have an awesome tea m,” ju n ior for wa rd Michelle Young said. “We had to show them that if they step in our home field, we’re going to give them a threat.”

Conference champs UNT took a 1-0 lead five minutes into the game, then had to sweat out the remaining 85 minutes while Denver (15-4-0, 9-2-0) scrambled to tie the game. “I feel like I’ve just coached three games,” UNT head coach John Hedlund said after the win. “Those last few

minutes felt like an eternity, man.” Sophomore defender Kelsey Hodges gave UNT the lead with her seventh goal of the season on a free kick from beyond midfield and then took a shot off the face on another free kick later in the game. The injury left Hodges with a bloody nose, but she was back in the game within a minute of leaving. “I can’t really put this win into words, but it’s amazing,” Hodges said. “To do it for the seniors, especially – they deserve it.”

Occupy Denton relocates, holds professor-led workshops A LEX M ACON

Senior Staff Writer Occupy Denton moved its home base over the weekend, but the group of students, activists, residents and self-described vagabonds, now in its third week of occupancy, seems determined for the camp to remain a fixture on campus. Occupy Denton marched on Saturday to protest the actions of police officers in New York City and Oakland, where a protester and Iraq War veteran suffered a fractured skull from a police projectile, possibly a rubber bullet. At its original campsite last week, the group held work-

shops led by anarchist author Scott Crow and UNT professor Haj Ross. “I hope this movement is not one that crumbles and falls apart,” said Ross, a member of the linguistics department who met with Occupy Denton in an informal discussion Friday night. “I think it’s remarkable how fast the Occupy movement has grown, and how scared people are.” Ross and about 30 students gathered in a circle to discuss flaws in the U.S. education system and possible solutions. Ross criticized the importance placed on grades and the traditional teacher-student structure of public education.

He said corporations and the super-wealthy – or the “1 percent” the Occupy movement opposes – had a history of negative influence on the education system in the U.S. “They wanted [students] to learn enough about the machine to make the machine run so they can skim the profits off the top,” Ross said. According to Occupy Denton organizers, several other UNT professors, from environmental philosophers to members of the women’s studies department, have expressed interest in holding workshops.

The interact ion is why students prefer Mason’s recitation; the class is “one-onone, and more personable,” Mars said. Mason does demonstrations similar to the ones in her chemistry classes with the Mean Green Chemistry Team, which performs around Dallas-Fort Worth and has performed in the presence of former astronauts. Betty Norwood, assistant to the chair of the Chemistry Department, thought it was amusing that astronauts were once in space, and “she blows space up!” Next September, Mason e x p e c t s to publ i s h t he book “Lone Star Chemistry Solutions,” which relates Texas trivia to practical chemistry problems for students, professors or anyone who might enjoy mixing chemistry with Texas trivia.

“I have a very good working relationship with the safety officers on the UNT campus,” Mason said. When she conducts classroom experiments with explosions or open flames, she warns the safety officers ahead of time so they can turn down the sensitivity of the smoke alarms so sirens do not go off in the building. If these demonstrations are done in the presence of a group that is under 18, Mason makes sure to have a “fire watch” attend just in case something doesn’t as planned. Mason grew up in the DallasFort Worth area and got her degree in zoology from Texas A&M Commerce. She was in a Laundromat in Austin when someone offered her a job as a substitute at a local high school.

other people to look at.” Fast forward seven years, and the project is beginning to get noticed in communities all over the world with sites in the U.K. and Australia currently in the beginning stages of construction. “There’s really basic information for some of the best Denton stuff, about Fry street, about the Square,” Ludlow said. “It’s just waiting to have more information added to it and the process of editing it is so fun and addictive; I can’t understand why anyone wouldn’t want to devote an evening to editing the heck out of it.”

Poet brings creative influence to English department M ARLENE GONZALEZ Staff Writer

Driven by the craftsmanship of his father, who was an artist of steel, B.H. Fairchild inherited a creative style that he uses words to express. Fairchild, an award-winning American poet, joined the faculty of the English department this fall. “There are certain crafts which aren’t thought of as art forms, but which to my mind are; and in fact, machine work was my first introduction to the world of high art and craft,” Fairchild said. “My father was a kind of artist, but he was an artist of metal rather than words.” UNT’s doctorate program in creative writing and devotion to the creative writing program encouraged Fairchild to accept the senior position, he said. T he prox i m it y to a r t museums and concert halls were perks that factored into the decision. One of the agreements made in his hiring included Fairchild teaching at UNT during the fall and at California State University of San Bernardino during the spring semester. “When I was here 30 years ago, they didn’t have the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts. I didn’t know what to expect, but my God it’s a beautiful museum,” he said. Fairchild said he enjoys being able to interact with students after spending time alone working on poems. “They’re a ver y talented group of writers,” Fairchild said. “Although I’ve taught for

some time, I have never been lucky enough to teach in that kind of writing community.” Fairchild said the time it takes to write a poem is indefinite. He has worked on some poems for weeks and others for years. He said his writing does not come from inspiration. The life of a writer is everyday work, whether an idea comes or not.

“He’s the reason I decided to be a poet.” —Tori Sharpe Graduate student “If you’re a dedicated writer, you write because the writing life is an exciting life,” he said. “It’s an exciting thing, but it’s also what you get up every day to do, whether you’re inspired or not, so inspiration doesn’t have very much to do with it.” Corey Marks of the English department said that, given the opportunity to make a seniorlevel hire, he was thrilled with Fairchild’s addition to the program. A handful of writers was considered based on reputation, previous publications and major awards, he said. “He’s the kind of writer people pay attention to,” Marks said. “He deepens the conversation that we have about literature, that we have about poetry espe-

cially, and I’m thrilled by the opportunities our students will have in working with him.” In addition to faculty, Marks said several graduate students were pleased with Fairchild joining the faculty. Tori Sharpe, an English graduate student, introduced Fairchild at a reading he had at the university in March. She said his poem “Beauty” from the book “The Art of the Lathe” inspired her 20 years ago when he had a reading at Sewanee, Tenn. “He’s the reason I decided to be a poet, and why I chose this as a career,” Sharpe said. She said Fairchild’s narrative style of twists and unexpected turns enriches his writing. “His philosophy is lofty, but it’s never so lofty people can’t understand,” she said. “Not many famous poets are approachable, but he’s very generous with his time and supportive.” Ja mes Brow n f rom t he Eng l ish depa r t ment of California State University of San Bernardino said Fairchild is probably one of the most brilliant poets in the country. “He gives a sense of understanding to the human position and depth of love and despair,” Brown said. “It’s a kind of wisdom I think separates him from the pack.” Brow n sa id he admires Fairchild even more for his ability to stand up for what he believes is right and wrong. “He has a moral code,” he said. “A moral man who has a prodigious sense.”

UNT students set to tackle a 50,000-word obstacle BRITTNI BARNETT Senior Staff Writer

Starting today, hundreds of thousands of aspiring novelists in more than 60 countries, a ided by ca f feine a nd t he goal of literary success, will attempt to write 50,000 words in just 30 days for National Novel Writing Month. In recognition of the event, UN T l ibra r ies w i l l host a k ickof f pa r t y ton ig ht at 6 p.m. in the Librar y Forum of Willis Library as well as ot her events to encourage students, faculty and community members to accept the novel writing challenge. This is the sixth year that UNT has hosted the event, said Kristin Boyett, special events coordinator for UNT libraries. “The whole idea behind

it is people will say, ‘Oh I’m going to write a novel,’ and they will sit down and get all of their stuff and they will spend four weeks work ing on the intro paragraph and get nowhere,” she said. “If you have to get 50,000 words done in 30 days and still eat and, ideally bathe, you don’t have time to be really picky; you just have to type.” Freelance writer Chris Baty and 20 other San Francisco residents started the monthlong event in 1999. “It sta r ted as k i nd of a joke,” Boyett said. “A bunch of friends decided that they were going to try and write novels and it k ind of grew from there.” Even though there are no judges or prizes, according to the website, around 200,000

Metallica shows no compromise Review A LEX M ACON

Senior Staff Writer W hen t he project was announced several months ago, many online commenters thought –hoped, really – it was part of some elaborate prank. But “Lulu,” the collaborative effort of proto-punk icon and Velvet Underground co-founder Lou Reed and metal mega-stars Metallica, is very real, and the experience of actually hearing Reed croak over the heavy thrashing that made Metallica a household name is about as strange as one would expect. Also likely to surprise no one is the fact that the album is kind of a train wreck. Yet the stature of the artists involved – however diminished those respective statures may be considering Reed’s recent dalliances with meditative yoga music and at least a decade of subpar Metallica albums – makes for a particularly fasci-

nating train wreck. “Lulu” is based on two plays by German playwright Frank Wedekind, and has something to do with self-mutilation, confused gender identity, gory sexual trysts, tables and dragons. Most of this is pretty standard fodder for Lou Reed, but the lyrics are taken to a surreal, violent extreme that makes Reed’s classic ode to sadomasochism, “Venus in Furs,” seem tame in comparison. Metallica is essentially relegated to Reed’s support band for most of the album, providing a heavy metal background for the 69-year-old rocker’s strange tale of love and death. “M ist ress Dread” a nd “Dragon” are propelled by chugging guitar riffs that wouldn’t be out of place on Metallica’s 1986 release, “Master of Puppets.”Reed sounds riled up by the proceedings, relishing the challenge of matching the intensity of the world’s biggest metal band. When the album actually does succeed, it’s during the quieter

moments. The 19-minute closer “Junior Dad,” with its string accompaniment, guitar solos and mournful singing, is downright pretty. After nine tracks of unrelenting brutality, “Junior Dad” is a much-needed breath of fresh air, and sounds like nothing Reed or Metallica have ever done before. In interviews promoting the album, Reed has said the album is possibly the best thing he’s ever done. That’s far from the truth, but possibly the most shocking thing about “Lulu” is that, beyond the sheer absurdness of the collaboration and the train wreck factor, it’s actually pretty decent. Metallica fans will likely receive the album with sputtering outrage. Expect plenty of metal heads to be foaming at the mouth once “Lulu” gets around: This is not the Metallica that fans know and love. Lou Reed is risking less and probably doesn’t care either way how “Lulu” is received –this

METALLICA/LOU REED is, after all, the same guy who released a double-album full of guitar feedback at the height of his fame. The blasphemous union of Lou Reed and Metallica seemed laughable a few months ago, and just to be clear, it still kind of is. But these are artists with nothing left to prove. Reed and Metallica will remain gods in the pantheon of rock music. They are at a point where they can make music on their own terms, and that is exactly what they have done: “Lulu” should stand as 2011’s most uncompromising album.

to the website more than 90 writers have published their works. Sa ra Gr uen a nd Er i n Morgenstern wrote New York Times bestsellers “Water for Elephants” and “The Night Circus,” respectively, as part of Nat iona l Novel Wr it ing Month. “If I wrote something I felt could be published I would totally want to do it,” Grymes said. “Since my first attempt I’ve been writing a lot of ‘This is what I see in kids these days.’ It’s easy to write about what you know.” If a writer’s goal is to write the same amount of words every day, he or she would have to write 1,667 words to reach the 50,000 word goal. “The theme of it is quantity over quality,” Boyett said.

“You can edit later, just get stuff on paper, and if that means at the end of 50,000 words you end up cutting out 30,000, great; but you still have 20,000 words you didn’t have when you started.” Boyett, who has also participated in the event, said she is happy when it is over, but she keeps coming back. “I think part of it is the people,” she said. “Here is a whole bunch of people who are just as crazy as you are to attempt this, and they all at t he ver y core have t his dream of writing; even if it’s horrible, glittery, vampire fan fiction, they all want to write something.” For mor e i n f or m a t ion about National Novel Writing Mont h v isit: w w w.na nowrimo.org.

Senior Staff Writer JONESBORO, Ark. — The U N T f o o t b a l l t e a m ’s season-long struggles away from Denton continued this weekend in Jonesboro, Ark., against Sun Belt Conference foe Arkansas State. T he Re d Wol v e s ( 6 -2 ) capped t heir homecoming weekend with a 37-14 defeat of the Mean Green (3-6) on Saturday. A combination of injuries and poor play put UNT into a n ea rly hole it couldn’t recover from a nd moved the team to 0-5 in road contests this season. “It looked to me on the sidelines that we were a tired football team,” UNT head coach Da n McCa r ney sa id. “We had a mont h of camp and then nine games in a row; I don’t know if any team in the country is more ready for an open week right now.” The t ide turned aga inst UNT as soon as the opening whistle sounded. Early in the first quarter – on UNT’s second offensive play of the game – starting quarterback Derek Thompson suffered a concussion and would not return. Andrew McNulty was called upon to replace Thompson. The freshman had his ups and downs in his fill-in role, finishing the night with 136 yards passing, one touchdown and one interception. The Mean Green defense had trouble from the start, a l low ing 365 ya rds in t he first half alone. ASU’s first

UNT falls to top-ranked Sun Belt teams Cross-country teams yield mixed results

A LEX YOUNG & BRETT MEDEIROS Staff Writers

AUSTIN SCHUBERT

The UNT volleyball team couldn’t keep up with the top two teams in the Sun Belt this weekend, falling to Middle Te n n e s s e e a n d We s t e r n Kentucky in straight sets. The team dropped to fourth place in t he West Div ision w it h three regular season games to play after the defeats. Offense was hard to come by for the Mean Green (14-15, 5-8), as it failed to record more t ha n 20 points in a single set all weekend. “We did a lot of good things in t he losses,” head coach Ken Murczek said. “Blockingwise, we did pretty good but just couldn’t get the offense rolling.”

Middle Tennessee With a chance to avenge last year’s Sun Belt Tournament semif ina l loss to t he Blue Ra iders (16-9, 12-1), UN T fell in straight sets (25-13, 25-20, 25-17). MTSU hit .354, the second-highest hitting percentage allowed by UNT this season since Oklahoma hit .357 in September. “We learned a couple things and had a good litt le chat af ter t he match,” Murczek sa id. “We just need to get focused and relaxed for the next matches.” Freshma n outside hitter Eboni Godfrey was a bright spot, leading the team with 12 kills. The Mean Green, ranked last in the Sun Belt in blocks, continued its struggles near the net by getting out-blocked 11.5 to 4. UNT got in its own way of ten, committ ing 23 attack errors compa red to Middle Tennessee’s seven.

Freshmen outside hitter Eboni Godfrey and middle blocker Hallie McDonald back up from the net to get the ball back in play after it was hit by a Western Kentucky opponent Saturday. Western Kentucky Despite having one of its top blocking performances of the season, was overwhelmed by the Hilltoppers (25-3, 12-1) in three sets. “Game plan-wise, we were just trying to get in front of their middles and our left side and middles did a nice job of getting to where the opponents wanted to hit,” Murczek said. “We slowed them down quite a bit. Unfor tunately t hey’re just a rea l ly good

tea m, but you k now when you play a nationally ranked team you’ve got to take some chances.” UNT had 8.5 total blocks for t he match, its secondhighest total of the season. Freshmen Godfrey and Hallie McDonald and senior Melanie Boykins each notched three blocks. W K U was too much on offense, landing 50 kills on .330 hitting for the match. Junior outside hitter Jordyn Skinner, ranked fourth in the

Sun Belt in kills, landed 11 kills. UNT w ill close its home schedule this weekend as it takes on Arkansas State and Arkansas-Little Rock. “It’s going to be a war next weekend,” Murczek said. “We have got to try and continue to get better and hopefully put ourselves in a position w h e r e w e ’r e n o t s t i l l wondering next weekend if we’re going to t he tournament or not.”

The men and women’s cross-country teams went into the Sun Belt Championships on Saturday w ith hopes of bouncing back from last season’s sixth-place finishes. In the high-pressure environment of this season’s final meet, the women rose to the occasion with a second-place finish while the men settled for seventh. The women’s team brought across six runners in the top 40, allowing it to take second place with 74 points, 14 points behind Western Kentucky, who won its sixth straight championship. After the women’s team’s success, head coach Sam Burroughs was named the Sun Belt women’s cross-country coach of the year. “It was a great weekend for the women,” Burroughs said. “We brought back a lot of hardware. The coach of the year award was just the icing on the cake.” In t heir f ina l conference meet, seniors Ingrid Mollenkopf and Sara Dietz led the way for the women, finishing third and sixth respectively with times of 17:52 and 18:15. Both earned All-Sun Belt honors for the second straight year. Competing in a race of 78 runners, the team showed its depth with its next three runners as freshmen Hanna Rice (17th), Ellie Arends (22nd) and Leesa Morales (26th) helped the team keep a low score. “We finished well because everyone did what they were

supposed to and we have a deep team,” Dietz said. “There’s nothing more we could have done. Everyone left it all out there.” Marion Kandie of WKU took first overall in a time of 17:21. In the men’s 8k race, the UNT men, hobbled by injuries, failed to get a top runner in the top 20 in the 82-runner field and limped to a seventh-place finish with 169 points. Senior Michael Sandoval led the way in 24th in a time of 26:33. Sophomore Matt Russ, expected to finish well, stumbled to a 27th-place finish. Freshman Aurelio Silva (31st), sophomore Aleksi Ikonen (42nd), and freshman Austin Yaeger (45th) rounded out the top five for the men. “We didn’t finish where we wanted to, but everyone gave it everything they had,” Sandoval said. “Several of our guys were banged up, but all of them gutted it out. We’ve got a young team, though, so we have time to improve.” WKU took the team title with 36 points, to finish a sweep of the men’s and women’s championships. Justus David of Middle Tennessee took first individually in 24:25, but it wasn’t enough as ArkansasLittle Rock, last year’s champion, and MTSU finished second and third with 51 and 64 points respectively. “The other men’s teams were simply just deeper than ours,” Burroughs said. “You have to be deep to finish well.” The cross-country teams return to action at t he Sout h Cent ra l Reg iona l Championships on Nov. 12.

On to Tennessee The top-seeded Mean Green will open the Sun Belt Conference Tournament against the eighthseeded Troy Trojans (9-10-1, 4-7-0) Wednesday in Murfreesboro, Tenn.

UNT beat Troy 4-1 at home last month. The Trojans will enter the tournament on a two-game losing streak. “I don’t think we can get ahead of ourselves because eight seeds have beaten one seeds before,” Hedlund said. “Troy is a worthy opponent, so we need to play the way we’ve been playing the last month.”

I f U N T b e at s Tr oy, it will face the winner of the We s t e r n K e n t u c k y a n d Middle Tennessee game on Thursday. “The kids are full of confidence right now,” Hedlund said. “We’ve just got to tr y to get t h is f i rst w i n over Troy and if you can do that, you’re already in the semifinals.”

How would you feel about a smoking ban on campus?

“I think it’s good because secondhand smoke is just as dangerous as firsthand. I just think it’s a good idea.”

Amanda Lowrey Social work junior

“I just don’t like smoking, if it was banned, I wouldn’t mind. Like I know there’s like 30-something cities in Texas that have a smoking bad, so I’d be okay with it.”

Sa’Sha Henry

Interior design freshman

“For the smokers, it really wouldn’t be that fair. I mean, if there were more designated areas, then that would be better. I can see for the non-smokers that would be bothersome. So if they had their own designated areas, then it would be better.”

Kasandra Bryant Biology freshman

Proposed athlete stipend falls short W hen t he NC A A approved a $2,000 stipend for student athletes, the organization’s president Mark Emmert made sure people were awa re it wasn’t “pay for play.” Rather, he said the addition is a way to help athletes cover other legitimate expenses of attending college. The proposed stipend serves as a solution for the long-time controversy that has hinged upon whether or not college athletes deserve to be paid for their services. Opponents of the stipend say athletes already receive compensation in the form of scholarships. Proponents argue that it would be

nearly impossible for a student at h lete to per form well, attend class and work a job to pay for monthly living expenses. Others simply denounce the idea of paying college athletes when time spent improving their skills can result in lucrative careers as professional athletes. The NCA A’s decision certainly sounds like a positive sign for the future of college sports. However, the logistics of the plan leave much to be desired. Under t he new pla n, conference officials can vote to approve a st ipend of up to $2,000 each academic year to its f ull-schol-

a rsh ip st udent at h letes – “f u l l scholarship” being the operative key word to the NCA A and college divisions. A $250-per-month stipend each semester would surely go a long way in helping student athletes tackle monthly expenses. Yet, the relief of a stipend should not just be given to full-scholarship athletes. Monthly cell phone bills aren’t inclusive to full-scholarship athletes only. Despite the fact that few college athletes ever have the opportunity to turn professional, the overwhelming time commitment of early morning practices, home and away games, and ot her at hletic

obligat ions ma ke it impossible to maintain a part-time job and expect to make the grades to stay on the team and remain eligible for a scholarship. Moreover, the proposed stipend doesn’t come close to shutting the door on boosters and agents who prey on student athletes in need of money because they are in a bind for time. The NC A A took a step in t he right direction when it approved a stipend for student athletes, but it has a long way to walk before it rids the world of college sports from corruption and evens out the playing field for all of its athletes.

GOP candidate Herman Cain is nothing special Now that Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain is receiving a large amount of national attention, he has more opportunities to show Americans his congenial side. Yet, instead of stepping down from his political pulpit to crack a smile, he shakes his finger at the black community for being quick to blame its setbacks on racial discrimination. He even went so far as saying that Obama “has never been a part of the black experience.” While I do believe that playing the race card is a copout in most cases, that doesn’t mean racism no longer affects people. So, implying that Obama knows nothing about the black experience is baseless and juvenile. What exactly is the black experience in 2011? Moreover, if Cain is so quick to point out that racism technically doesn’t exist, then what “black experience” is he referring to? If anyone knows anything about being racially targeted, it’s Obama. Cain should realize that he’s just as fortunate as Obama to even be taken seriously in the political setting. Furthermore, the last thing we need to see are two black guys using the “black experience” (or lack thereof) as a means of asserting one’s credibility over the other. I appreciate Herman Cain’s ragsto-riches story because he’s made an honest name for himself by having accomplished something admirable. Still, I can’t help but feel that his arrogant, self-righteous attitude stems from him belonging to the small percentage of black conservatives.

Nevertheless, it would do Cain some good if he used a few speaking engagements to uplift, not condemn, the African-American community as well as other less-affluent citizens. Therein lies t he dif ference between Obama and Cain. Unlike Cain, Obama actually has an appealing personality. During the campaign, Obama used his less-than-average upbringing to give hope to those who believed their past could hold a grip on their future. Leaders should be inspiring and personable, and Cain is neither. Whether or not Cain wants to believe it, he needs the black community. It’s insulting enough that he behaves as if his success came to him without the help of civil rights leaders and protesters; surely the least he could do is stop grouping the entire African-American community into a collection of uninspired bums.

Letter to the Editor: Greek community unfairly portrayed I a m w r it i ng t h is let ter i n response to NT Daily’s “A letter to the Editor: An unpleasant return to UNT.” As a member of greek life, I came away from the piece feeling hurt, insulted and vilified. Due to the outrageous nature of the piece, I felt accused personally of the “disgrace to UNT and the effort of so many.” I’m a f ra id Rober t Ismer t is m i s ch a r ac ter i z i ng t he g re ek community and unfairly portraying what I know to be one of the greatest communities at UNT. Greek life is not perfect, though I believe that the many benefits of being greek outweigh some of the negative aspects, including being a victim of “what can only be described as a fraternal ambush.” While binge drinking and hazing incidents involving greeks are glorified and reported on as the status quo, the real benefits and objectives of greek life, philanthropy, community service, networking, brotherhood and sisterhood are unheralded. I respect my brothers and sisters in the greek community, regardless of the letters that they wear on their chest, simply due to the fact that they promised to better themselves. I find this to be a rather admirable quality. I do not fault Robert Ismert for expressing his opinion. It is part of the beauty of this country. I only see it to be fitting to make mention of the other greeks, whom he probably did not notice or didn’t see when he “walked through the valley beneath them,” the ones who were

on the field playing for the Mean Green, the ones in the marching band, the cheerleading squad, the ones who were volunteering in the Alumni Pavilion and the men who came together next morning to leave the hill better than they found it. L a st yea r a lone, t he g reek community at UNT raised $74,342 for local, national and international causes and philanthropies, in addition to $12,900 raised in one week and gifted to the university’s scholarship fund. In addition, greeks per for med 29,294 com mu n it y service hours, leaving an economic impact of $619,005. Greeks also make up the majority of student leaders on campus, hav ing more t ha n 80 percent involved in organizations and hold prominent student leadership positions. We are the largest community in North Texas and we will remain STRONG!
