Machine computes at atomic level Supercomputer fuels UNT research efforts

BY DREW GAINES Staff Photographer

UNT is home to thousands of computers, some of them faster and bigger than others.

They are dwarfed, however, by Talon, UNT’s largest supercomputer and multimillion-dollar investment into becoming a national research university.

Ta lon is a col lect ion of 1,792 computer processors combined into a 22-foot-long, 6–foot-high stack. It sits on the fifth f loor of the General Academic Building, where it has been humming away since January.

“Anyone who can call themselves a research university has a cluster like this or bigger,” said Trent Geerdes, the system administrator of UNT’s high performance computing.

The $2.2 million system that includes and supports Talon is designed to crunch

numbers and spit out calculations as quickly and accurately as possible. This allows faculty and graduate students in the research fields to solve problems on a microscopic scale or smaller where the math is too complex for ordinary figuring.

“There are certain a lgorithms that you cannot solve by hand,” said Shivraj Karewar, a material science and engineer ing g raduate student.

“Even computationally, the calculations are very intensive. Talon is a tool that solves them for us.”

Karewar and his colleagues have been working with Talon to conduct atomistic simulations of metals such as gold, copper and nickel. Basically, he is trying to find the breaking point of these metals on a minute scale where individual atoms can be studied.

“It is like taking a rubber band and stretching it to its max,” Karewar said.

Bring It On

The Sea rch Adv isor y Committee’s process for finding candidates to become UNT’s next president halted Tuesday morning as Lee Jackson, UNT System chancellor, announced that he will nominate V. Lane Rawlins as president of UNT for the next two years.

Rawlins is serving his oneyear interim term as president. Since the beginning of the semester, Rawlins has become more enthusiastic about the spirit and people of UNT, Jackson said.

“He has impressed the people he works with on and off campus with his perspective, his highly relevant experience at several other universities and the careful planning he brings to all the major projects that fall under a university president,” he said.

The Board of Regents will chose whether to accept the nomination Friday.

Rawlins acknowledged that he enjoyed being president and told Jackson he would be willing to stay for an extended period of time.

“He has impressed the people he works with.”

President V. Lane Rawlins speaks at the opening ceremony of the Life Sciences Complex during Homecoming on Oct. 16.

—Lee Jackson On Tuesday, Chancellor Lee Jackson announced his intention to nomination of Rawlins as a finalist for the presidency of UNT System chancellor UNT and if the Board of Regents accepts, Rawlins will remain president for two more years.

Over the next two years, the university will continue to move toward its goals based on the four planning councils: capital projects, enrollment, finance and image, Jackson said.

Jackson believes Rawlins w ill help UNT begin its process of becoming a Tier

One institution.

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step,” Jackson said.

Special events coordinator Laurea Dunahoe believes both Rawlins and former president Gretchen Bataille have strong leadership skills. The major difference between them is their

approach to change, she said.

“Dr. Rawlins builds on what exists whereas Dr. Bataille was a change agent,” she said. “He’s a strong implementer, improves upon the issue already in place and boils it down.”

Dunahoe believes Rawlins is empowering and an effective leader.

Men’s basketball head coach Johnny Jones talks to players before Tuesday’s practice. that playoff.

Head coach Johnny Jones has built an elite program from scratch, which means the road to another conference title won’t be an easy one.

Games against Texas Tech and Kansas are the obvious challenges, but a handful of other contests will test the Mea n Green’s menta l a nd physical abilities.

“This is the type of team that you want them to have this type of schedule,” Jones said. “These guys need to be challenged early and see if t hey can handle adversit y.

Our goal is to just be the best we can be by season’s end.”

Rice played UNT close last season, Louisiana State made a final four appearance five years ago, UT-Arlington took UNT to t wo overtimes last

year and Sam Houston State made the big dance a season ago.

UNT’s out-of-conference schedule is much harder than it was last season, so securing its fou r t h-st ra ig ht 20-w i n season won’t be so simple.

Role Players Ready To Step Up Everyone knows the All-Sun Belt stars on the team: senior guards Josh White and Tristan Thompson and senior forward George Odufuwa.

“We need ever ybody to step up and have confidence in each player of this team,” Odu f uwa sa id. “You don’t know what can happen over the course of a season, so it’s important that all of us bring our best effort.

See REPEAT on Page 2

Josh White: The senior guard was tied for the team lead in scoring with 14.5 points per game last season and ranks second in team history with an 85.1 freethrow percentage. He led the team in minutes played per game and ranks 11th in school history with 1,244 career points.

Tristan Thompson: UNT’s other senior guard tied White for the team lead in scoring and owns a career 38.5 three-point shooting percentage. Thompson showed what he’s capable of when he scored 28 points against Kansas State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament against Kansas State last season.

George Odufuwa: The senior for wa rd was one of 20 players in the country to average a double-double when he averaged 11.5 points per game and 10.7 rebounds per game last season.

Odufuwa’s rebounding averages were high enough for him to be ranked 13th in the country in rebounds per game.

Players returning from injuries are also poised to make an impact, as senior guard Dominique Johnson started for the Mean Green two years ago and junior forward Kedrick Hogans already ranked third in school history in blocks.

Sophomore forward Jacob Holmen and sophomore guard Alzee Williams are expected to improve from last year.

Holmen stands tall at 6-feet-8inches and can run with almost anyone, while Williams played near the end of important games for his defense last year.

This Veterans Day, cadets from the UNT Air Force and Army ROTC programs will face off at Discovery Park at their fifth field day.

For four semesters, t he programs have been building traditions and camaraderie bet ween t he t wo. At 3: 30 p.m. Thursday, t he cadets will compete in the event.

Cadet Capt. Er ic Rober ts, physical fitness officer for the Air Force ROTC, sees it as a culmination of the efforts and training the cadets have undergone throughout the semester.

“A lot of the work we do builds up to t his a nd t he physical fitness test,” Roberts said. “This is the peak — the reward — of all the work we put into physica l training each semester.”

Cadet Shelby Henderson, an Army ROTC member, said this w ill be her fifth time participating in t he oncea-semester rivalry. She said although the event is a great

way for t he ROTC cadets to build camarader ie w it h each ot her a nd ta ke a f un SHELBY break from HENDERSON their weekly training, t he f ield day ser ves a g reater purpose.

“It’s a good way to get young cadets working with other branches,” Henderson said. “It’s good to foster that relat ionship now because each branch is distinct.”

t he groups are sometimes called on to work together but usually don’t interact with each other often.

“It kind of takes us away from the day-to-day grind, and we have f un,” Wilson said. “We don’t get to spend a lot of time with them.”

T he det ach ment s t a ke turns organizing the event and planning the challenges.

Roberts said this year’s events will include ultimate football, a tire toss and an obstacle course at Discover y Pa rk.

Although the main prize for winning the competition is bragging rights, the winning detachment will gain possession of a ceremonial saber over the course of the next semester. The losing team c om m a nder a l s o h a s to wear the opposing branch’s T-shirt, Roberts said.

“It ’s r e a l l y a b out t he friendly competition,” said Cadet Capt. Cameron Lowry, scholarship and enrollment officer for the Army ROTC. “It’s just an opportunity for the cadets to come together.

It breaks up the monotony of their academics and the PT requirements that both programs enjoy.”

For the past four semesters, Air Force has remained undefeated during the regular field day event. Lowry said Army hopes to end t hat pattern and has added footba ll to some of its normal training.

However, he pointed out, the UNT’s Army ROTC is a younger program, with only 30 to 40 cadets compared to the 80 to 90 in the Air Force program.

“Hopefully, as the program grows, we’ll share in some of the success,” Lowry said.

U l t i m a t e l y, h o w e v e r, Low r y sa id t he event was about r a i si ng aw a rene s s of the Air Force and Army ROTC’s.

“Both programs do exist at UNT and there are opportunities with both,” Lowry said.

“They’re both great programs for the leadership traits and va lues t hey teach and t he career opportunities with the Air Force and Army.”

Rawlins draws on experience SGA gathers student concerns Continued from Page 2 “He’ll make us better and be more involved than the other two presidents I’ve worked with to the point that he’ll make sure as an institution we’re doing things the right way,” he said.

Rawlins is experienced in leading a university, deputy provost Celia Williamson said.

“This appointment is a compliment to his good work and an endorsement of UNT to grow not only in capacity, but toward its goals,” she said.

Rawlins said spending time with students, whether it’s slipping into the back rows of concert halls or speaking at V. LANE a meeting, has RAWLINS been his favorite part about UNT. “Creating an environment full of excellence will change their life and make them more successful,” he said. “That’s what it’s all about, trying to get all the moving parts

going in the same direction.”

Student interaction with the administration has become more apparent since Rawlins’ presidency, said Mercedes Fulbright, vice president of the Student Government Association.

“He’s always making sure he’s responding to the comments and feedback from students,” she said. “I know we all trust him in what he’ll do in the next two years.”

Overshadowed by the groups of anti-abortion activists, a group of freshmen interns worked a table of students’ complaints written on Post-It notes.

The complaints will give the Student Government Association some things to work on.

“It’s like a collage of students’ needs,” said Justin Wood, prepsychology freshman and intern.

“These are mostly just things we can change and things to do different.”

The association has organized SGA Wants to Know in the past, but this is the first time it has used notepads, which was a freshman intern idea, Wood said.

The SGA had the complaint table alongside Carts for Cancer, which the senators run. It is a program to raise money for cancer research by taking students anywhere on campus for $1. The group will run Carts for Cancer all week. SGA Wants to Know, however, began Tuesday and ends today.

Most of the complaints were about parking, dorm food and the recent abortion display.

Others included “pay orienta-

The SGA will compile the complaints and make a final graph showing what the main concerns are. The association is the student-led governmental body of UNT. “This is free speech at it’s best, see what everyone has said,” said Susan Stimmel, an anthropology sophomore. “And you can’t expect everything to be fixed, but some will.”

Stimmel also added her input, calling for more gluten-free options around campus.

“Vast majority parking and free speech, some are plain rude,” said Morgan Ray, an applied behavior analysis freshman and SGA member. “‘Free speech is just for students,’ which [was referring to the abortion protest] is just contradictory.”

Wood and Ray added that although important things like parking can’t be fixed by the SGA, they read and document all the issues brought up.

“We can try to put straws in dining halls, but we can’t put in new parking by ourselves,” Ray said. “We can just show the need.”

Exhibit captures Mexican heritage

Fashion merchandising sophomore Rachel Coburn has modeled since she was 5.

She also enjoys drawing and playing video games such as “Halo.”

Student model lets go on the runway

BY DAISY SILOS Intern

Strutting down the halls of UNT, fashion merchandising sophomore Rachel Coburn juggles school and modeling as she follows in her mother’s footsteps.

Coburn began modeling at the age of 5, and has loved it ever since.

V ick i Cobu r n, Rachel’s mother, also started modeling at 5 and said she is thrilled Rachel is a second-generation model.

“As a mom you never want to force your kids into something, but she was around it all the time and truly has a passion for modeling, and it’s good to love what you do,” she said. “Modeling just came as a second nature to her. I guess it’s in the genes.”

Susan Huston, fashion coordinator and writer for Panache magazine, has more than 30 years of modeling experience and says Coburn has all the right qualifications to be a model.

“She is dependable, her body structure is fit for a model, and she follows instructions well. She has everything that makes her a good model,” she said. “She started modeling for major malls and bridal shows.

With the background and experience she has, modeling can always be a backup.”

Huston holds workshops to help young girls become models t hat Cobu r n wa s enrolled in and now helps teach.

“I teach the basics of runway and etiquette, help them work on their techniques and just tell them good information that I’d want to know,” she said.

Model i ng is ver y t i meconsuming, and the process

for it can take pretty much a whole day, Coburn said.

“I’ll go to a fitting for my clothes and then do hair and makeup, which can take up to four to five hours, but it’s my favorite part because I like getting groomed for free, then finally walk the runway,” she said.

T he r u nw ay i s one of Coburn’s favorite pa rts of modeling.

“If I’m having the worst day, I can just let it go and stomp it all out,” she said. “I can be whoever I want to be and do anything. If I’m wearing clothes that emulate playful or powerful, I can be that – it’s like acting.”

“Modeling isn’t my entire persona.”

—Rachel Coburn Fashion merchandising senior and model

As passionate as she is about modeling, Coburn said she doesn’t let it get in the way of school.

“School is my No. 1-priority.

It always has been. I can’t model forever; as much as I love it to death, I still want my own career,” she said.

In the future, Coburn said she hopes to have her own agency to help girls follow their dreams of becoming models.

“I was lucky enough to have my mom’s help, but even with all the help I had to grow up fast to pursue my dream,” she said. “Modeling isn’t my entire persona. I worked hard to get here, and I want to inspire little girls to show them that you can reach your dreams.”

Coffee filters gliding on the wall in a special pattern create the illusion of flowers floating in the air, capturing a natural flow.

The Recuerdos: Nostalgia on the Periphery exhibition opened Tuesday at the UNT Art Gallery in the Art Building and is based on contemporary Mexican art.

The term “recuerdo” refers to an experience or object that brings fond memories of one’s cultural heritage. The exhibit includes multimedia, sculptures, photography, videos and 3-D visuals.

Mary Papamichalis, an art history senior and one of the gallery attendants, said she was captivated by the “Line # 7” and “Square #7” art pieces made from laminated lead over wood with water poured on each square. As the water evaporates, it leaves traces on the lead and more water is used once it diminishes.

“It will be different because of the water marks it leaves. It’s like seeing a new piece of art every day even though it’s the same square,” Papamichalis said.

V ic tor ia De Cu i r a nd Adriana Martinez, the co-curators of the exhibition, came up with the idea after conversations and reminiscences of Mexico, where both were born, DeCuir said.

Her initia l motivation was the yearlong Mexican Revolution, and she decided first and foremost to show a slice of contemporar y Mexican work and expose

“These artists know exactly what they’re doing at their level.

Miguel Vasquez, a kinesi-

ology freshman, said he was intrig ued by Irma Sizer’s witty way of putting together “Everyday Meatloaf,” a mixedmedia archival booklet, out of inkjet prints.

The artist made it based on cookbooks and biblical allusions, creating a satirical tone since both give instructions, DeCuir said.

“I liked it because you could find diverse meaning within that piece. The picture of Christ usually has a heart in the middle with a crown. Here it had a tomato,” Vasquez said.

It seemed to make an analogy to soul food and how meatloaf and religion are parts of everyday life, Vasquez said.

The exhibit is open through Dec. 18 and is free. For more information, visit www.gallery. unt.edu.

TOMS new styles still going strong

BY SHANNON MOFFATT Staff Writer

Looking around campus, one might see just as many TOMS shoes on the floor as textbooks on the desks.

While the classic TOMS shoes have grown in popularity, new designs including wedges and lace-ups have been selling out in local stores.

TOMS’ slogan “One for One” means for every pair of TOMS shoes purchased, the company gives a needy child a new pair of shoes.

Emily Wiest, owner of La Di Da Boutique on the Denton Square, said she believes the “One for One” factor has a big impact on the shoes’ success.

“It really drives people,” she said. “I think in this economy it really helps people to know that their purchase is helping someone out.”

TOMS has given shoes to 24 countries including South Africa, Rwanda and Ethiopia.

As of September, TOMS gave

TOMS has a new wedge-style shoe. Health promotion senior Allyson Parker tries on a pair of red-striped wedges at La Di Da Boutique. more than 1 million shoes to needy children, according to its website.

La Di Da calls itself the exclusive TOMS retailer for Denton.

“We have people come in that have never heard of our store just for TOMS,” said Brooke Haddock, a sociology junior and sales associate at La Di Da. “We are the only store in Denton that sells TOMS.” Southern Bliss Boutique, a store in Frisco, sells TOMS wedges,

classic canvas slip-ons and the lace-ups called “Cordones.”

“We only got one color of the wedges in, but we sold them all quick,” said Laura Devore, a Southern Bliss sales associate.

They are getting more wedges next summer, she said.

“I think it [wedges] hits a different customer,” Wiest said.

“A lot of people don’t like flats.”

The vegan wrap boots and the Botas high-top shoes are not in local stores but are sold on the TOMS website.

“In magazines I saw the boot ones that wrap around your foot,” said Marina Leonova, a biology junior. “I would wear those, but I don’t like the classic ones because everyone wears them...”

At Sun and Ski Sports in Grapevine Mills Mall, TOMS are the most popular shoe along with Vibram Five Finger shoes, said Mike Black, the store’s area manager. Only the classic and Cordone styles are sold there.

“TOMS are really popular in the first place, so I’m sure everyone will try to conform to the new shoe,” said Michelle Miller, a history junior.

Friday night, the UNT women’s basketball team went out to see a movie and get pedicures as a way of bonding with one another before the season gets underway.

That kind of bond is necessary with the turnover the team has experienced since last season.

“It’s going to be fun,” said women’s basketball head coach Shanice Stephens. “Now we’ve got to take care of business between these lines, and I think that’s where our maturing as a team will really come through.”

“The one thing that stands out with this team is the ability to score the basketball,” Jones said. “They have great guard play and undersized post guys who are capable of making shots.”

Defense has been UNT’s focus in practices leading up to the season, Jones said.

“It’s an area we really have to concentrate on,” Jones said.

“We have plenty of guys who are capable of scoring t he basketball, but if our defense continues to improve some great things can happen for us.”

Mean Green fans can take comfort from past events, as Jones is 13-0 in ex hibition games and UNT is 17-4 all-time in season openers at home.

“Every game is important to us, and even though it doesn’t count we cannot wait to get out there and play,” senior forward George Odufuwa said. “We may not be in midseason form yet, but we are going to take the same approach as we do for any other game.”

Playing at home has meant g reat t hings for t he Mea n Green, which owned a 12-2 home record last season and leads the Sun Belt in home wins since 2006 with 52.

“It’s so great to have a home crowd supporting you and cheering for you,” White said.

“Playing in front of our fans is something I always look forward to.”

The game begins at 7 p.m. tonight at the Super Pit.

Seansense: the best things in life are free for UNT basketball Opinion

BY SEAN GORMAN Senior Staff Writer

Along with hearing Charles

Barkley insert his ignorant opinions about international politics and being astonished by Bruce Bowen’s bow ties, there are plenty of things to expect when watching

TV analysts discuss basketball.

When the experts break the game down, the typical clichés come pouring out: ball movement on offense, the impact of

technical fouls and defense winning championships.

O d d l y enough, one facet of the game that is SEAN never discussed GORMAN on these programs can make or break the UNT men’s basketball season in 2011.

Plenty of components go into winning, but one key for the Mean Green is the art of the free throw.

Since head coach Johnny Jones joined the team in 2001, success from the line has been a huge priority for UNT. Players are required to shoot free throws at the end of every practice and can’t leave until they make a

certain number in a row.

If you don’t think free throws are important to this team, consider this: UNT has led the country in free throws made per game for the past two seasons while shooting 72 percent from the line last year. That accounted for 27 percent of the Mean Green offense in 2010.

The bottom line is that UNT lives and dies at the charity stripe, which is good since it’s something it excels. This strategy didn’t come into fruition overnight, as has been evident on and off the court.

When Jones recruits, he’s not looking for the best talent. He wants guys who fit the system best.

A great example is senior guard Shannon Shorter, who was recruited by Jones from Paris Junior College after making 74 percent of his free throws. Shorter didn’t fail

Free Facts • UNT has led the country in free throws made per game for the past two seasons • Shot 72 percent from the free-throw line last season • Free throws were 27 percent of its offense last season to contribute, starting the last 19 games of last season.

Perhaps senior guard Josh White’s skill from the line was part of the reason the Mean Green pursued him out of high school.

After White came within less than a point of leading the country in free-throw percentage two seasons ago, I’d say it was a likely factor.

One reason UNT won 13-straight contests at the end of last season was this strategy implemented by Johnny.

Close contests against Florida Internat iona l, Denver a nd Louisiana-Monroe came down to free throws, and the Mean Green players rose to the occasion by making the shots that counted.

When important games get close, this team is prepared.

Coach Jones has made it a point to lead a team that knows how to sink its free throws, and the execution of this strategy has been spot-on.

UNT must continue its ways from the line if it has any hope of repeating as Sun Belt Conference champion.

Great teams implement a strategy to help them win and execute it perfectly.

Thanks to the efforts of coach Johnny and the talented players on UNT’s roster, the Mean Green has done just that through its success from the stripe.

Socialism has no place today

Rawlins deserves another two years Editorial On Friday, the UNT Board of Regents should accept UNT System Chancellor Lee Jackson’s expected nomination for the permanent UNT president, V. Lane Rawlins.

Rawlins has served as the temporary UNT president since May. In that six-month span, he created four councils to improve the university, showed the students he cares and embraced the goals of UNT. The Editorial Board supports Jackson’s choice to cement Rawlins as the UNT president.

Past Experience Before coming to Denton, Rawlins, 72, served as the president of Washington State University from 2000 to 2007 and of the University of Memphis from 1991 to 2000.

He retired from Washington State and came out of retirement to act as UNT president.

While at Washington State, Rawlins highlighted the important impact of research on undergraduate education. He created teams to focus on aspects of that university, much like the four councils he instituted to help UNT grow in the facilities’ quality, the enrollment process, the budgeting priorities and the university’s reputation.

His work at WSU provided him with experience in overseeing the addition of research facilities and beginning new traditions, areas UNT needs direction in.

However, the overall legacy he left there was of caring for students and other Washington State community members, a quality the Editorial Board admires.

During his tenure at the University of Memphis, he gained similar experience with campus growth.

Understanding UNT From the beginning of his time at UNT, Rawlins has proven that he takes his role of president seriously. He has integrated the goal of attaining Tier One status with his hopes for UNT. Over the summer, Rawlins selected Warren Burggren, the former dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, to act as the provost and vice president of Academic Affairs. Burggren has worked for UNT for more than 10 years. By selecting him and others with similar experience, Rawlins showed his desire to surround himself with people who could provide insight into the university.

Phil Diebel, his predecessor, acted as UNT interim president from March 1 to May 14. He took over after Gretchen Bataille, the former UNT president, submitted her resignation in February after she and Jackson disagreed about the direction the university should take.

Rawlins has gained the respect of not only Jackson, but also Rick Villarreal, the UNT athletics director, because of his focus on athletics and its ability to draw money and attention to the university.

This semester, Rawlins also continued the Really, Let’s Talk program, where he listened to student issues and answered questions. As he has said, his favorite part of being UNT president is interacting with students in formal and informal settings.

That sincerity and his pragmatic approach to directing UNT are why the Editorial Board asks the Board of Regents to extend his contract for two more years.

I was wa l k ing nea r t he Busi ness Bu i ld i ng on campus when I saw a terrible display. The people working the display were loud and obnox ious; t he signs t hey were hold i ng were ver y offensive. I couldn’t believe UNT would actually allow a group like t his to form, but then I reminded myself t hat ever yone, no mat ter how bi za rre or absurd, is a l lowed to assemble. I’m speaking of course about the UNT International Socialist Orga n i zat ion. W hat? You thought I was referring to something else?

T he Socia l ist club wa s protesting a pro-life group, with the pro-life side remarkably bei ng t he one t hat garnered more attention. I just couldn’t understand why there would still be socialists in this modern world.

Socialism has no place in this day and age. It’s been tested time a nd time aga in, a nd

every single time it’s failed catastrophically. I say this not out of ideology but out of experience. I’ve lived in a socialist country before.

W here I lived, t he state provided free medical care to its citizens, and the lines at t he hea lt h clinics were somet i mes backed up a s far as a mile. People were always in need of care. In fact, there were some I knew who started off just having a little infection. But by the time they could finally reach a doctor, they were already to t he point where it was too late, and they were left to wait for death.

I recall seeing one man on a motorcycle collide with a ca r. His leg was dismemb er e d a nd t her e w a s a massive a mount of blood on the street. Had a wreck such as t hat happened in America or in another more capitalist country where care is quicker, his life might have

Walking into a public restroom at UNT should not be an adventure.

However, when visiting the bathrooms in multiple halls across campus, including in the General Academic Building and Wooten Hall, you never know what your experience will be like.

Four rules of common courtesy can help make the next person to visit the toilet’s trip a little more pleasant.

been saved. But over there, there was no hope for him, even if t hey d id stop t he bleeding.

Unemployment was at a ridiculous 70 percent. Here in America, we think 9 percent is bad. And so there I was, ga zing in awe at the UNT Socialist club while everyone else was working themselves into a tizzy about some prolife group. Was I really the only one who noticed t he Socialists? Look, I’m all in favor of t he r ig ht to f ree speech, and I have no problem with the campus socialists exercising t hat r ig ht. But geez, how many times must an idea be disproven before it can die once and for all?

W hen Ga lileo proved t hat the Earth revolved around t he su n, people stopped saying the sun went around the Earth.

W hen pe ople bel ie ve d man could never f ly, t hey cha nged when t he Wright

brothers built the airplane.

Why? Because those notions, doubts a nd ideas beca me outdated. To persist in them wou ld be, qu ite si mpl y, foolish. Histor y, which I’ll leave for the reader to investigate, has disproven socialism time and time again. So why do t he m isg u ided persist with it? It would be like me sta r t ing a “World Is Flat” club.

Hey, you know what? That m ig ht not be a bad idea.

As a pa rody of t he UNT’s ISO, I encourage a nybody who has the time to set up a “World Is Flat” d isplay next to the Socialist stand at every event that they’re at.

I mean, since Socialists are all about sharing, I’m sure they wouldn’t mind sharing their space.

Toilets are low flush, not no flush

1. Remember to flush.

No matter what hurry you are in, when you leave the stall, you should make sure no one has to be subjected to your visit. The rules of conserving water by

2. Be mindful of where the toilet paper is.

When you grab your backpack or your purse, please don’t launch the TP into the water. It’s a rather unpleasant surprise to swing the door open to find the roll drenched and the bowl blocked. Keep in mind that other people need access to both, and rolls sitting on the dispensers can easily be launched by the careless flip of a bag.

3. Don’t sprinkle.

There’s a little poem that reads, “If you sprinkle while you tinkle,

be a sweetie and wipe the seatie.”

It applies completely to using public facilities. There’s nothing quite so disgusting as feeling something wet as you sit down.

Take the time to wipe off the seat so no one has to worry.

4. Dispose of the paper products properly, please.

A friend of mine once posted a picture she took in a Matthews Hall bathroom. In it, stacks and stacks of toilet paper lined the f loor. People who throw away paper towels are equal opportunity offenders. Please, only take as much as you need and keep the trash in the cans.

As a bath room sign says,

“We aim to please. You aim, too, please.”
