Research groups move UNT to goal ISAAC WRIGHT

Senior Staff Writer To continue toward its goal of becoming a Tier One research university, UNT has created 15 research clusters to produce research and help increase the quality of education at UNT. In each cluster, about 10 to 15 researchers, faculty members and students from multiple departments work together to raise the caliber of research at UNT, said Warren Burggren, provost and vice president of student affairs. “They’re high profile and they’re doing some innovative things,” Burggren said. “But, as a total proportion of our overall research endeavor, they’re actually a very small part of it.” UNT formed the first seven clusters in 2008, followed by four more in December 2010,

according to the Research and Development Department’s website. The current 15 clusters cover a wide range of fields, including science, technology, the arts and environmental issues. The research groups are funded through student affairs and research budgets, along with money from the university’s general fund, Burggren said. U N T ’s C o m p u t a t i o n a l Chemical Biolog y research cluster, a cluster devoted to using computer-generated analysis and imagery to solve problems in the biological and pharmaceutical fields, is currently rated higher than equivalent research groups at Berkeley and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he said.

Staff, faculty and students mingle after the close of the annual holiday tree lighting ceremony in the University Union Tuesday afternoon. The event included traditional holiday carols and brief holiday stories given by Elizabeth With, vice president for student affairs, and UNT President V. Lane Rawlins. The ceremony has been a UNT tradition for more than 25 years, with this year’s tree being decorated with 75 ornaments and more than 10,000 lights. Standing at 30 feet tall, the tree barely tops out at the second floor of the Union.

Meeting sets dates for student forums NICOLE BALDERAS Senior Staff Writer

UNT held a meeting Tuesday with architect firm Perkins+Will, which was recently chosen to renovate the University Union, to discuss ideas on how to get students involved in Union plans as well as tentative dates for student forums. The Division of Student Affairs will conduct a photo survey to get a feel of which areas on campus students value, and some input may be used toward Union renovations.

“They’re going to ask students questions, ‘what is the most comfortable place on campus?’ the place with the most school spirit,” said Zane Reif, director of the Union. “I think it will give us an idea of what the students’ value is.” Perkins+Will is expected to be back on campus Dec. 6 and 7 to meet with students for an open discussion. The firm will also visit Eagle Insomnia at 9 p.m. Dec. 8 to speak with students as they come and go, Reif said. “They are top notch,” said

Blake Windham, Student Gover n ment A ssociat ion president. “They are the pinnacle of what I would consider good architect, and they have experience in engaging students.” With enough student input, meetings to discuss more concrete plans are tentatively set for Feb. 15 and 22, said Reif, adding that the designs will be presented to the SGA and the Student Graduate Council. Students are already voicing their ideas of what they would

like to see in the Union. “I think they’d really benefit by trying to get someone to put a legitimate music store into the Union,” said Greg Sgammato, a percussion performance sophomore. “Maybe get Pender’s Music to transport some of their stuff to the Union because most of their customers are students anyway.” A lt hough UNT na med Perkins+Will as the architect, it has yet to release any information on who will design the building.

UNT has set a goal to reach 45,000 students by the fall of 2016; however, when addressing enrollment during this month’s Board of Regents meeting, administrators said they place more importance on quality of students rather than quantity. The university’s enrollment goal was created in accordance with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board’s “Closing the Gap by 2015” initiative, which sets targets for student enrollment by the fall of 2015. President V. Lane Rawlins appointed members to a President’s Enrollment Council in the fall of 2010 to try to reach to the university’s enrollment goal, as well as the Tier One status it has been working toward.

“The goal of 45,000 enrollment was set by the council in spring,” Vice President of student development Elizabeth With said. “We’ve already exceeded the targets projected by the state board.” But as UNT looks to expand its quantity of students, it is also pushing to increase education quality, officials said. “We want to reach a quadfecta,” said Melissa McGuire, director of orientation and transition programs. “We want to increase in quality, quantity, diversity and academic success. The quantity is just the overarching goal.” Despite having the largest freshman class in the school’s history this fall, UNT has seen a decrease in overall enrollment. Last year’s enrollment was

36,118 students while this year’s enrollment stands at 35,754 students. Despite this decrease, however, credit hour enrollment increased by .4 percent and the university turned away about 35 percent of freshman applicants. “We progressed in all three areas except quantity,” McGuire said. “We had a large number graduate in the spring.” The infrastructure of UNT would also have to grow in order to reach 45,000 students, requiring the university to hire more faculty and staff, With said. “We’re going to try to stay as close to our current teacher-tostudent ratio as possible,” she said. Along with adding to its faculty and staff, the university

would also have to provide more student housing to accommodate a growing population. “Housing is full this year,” Kerr Hall director Ben Taylor said. “We had to have a waiting list this year and cut down on the number of spots for returning students because freshmen are required to live on campus.” If UNT continues to grow, land across Interstate Highway 35 near Victory Hall could be used for additional housing, Taylor said. “There is land on the other side of I-35 that isn’t ready yet, but if the university wants to grow then obviously housing will have to grow as well,” he said. Regents emphasized at the meeting that the university would only grow at a rate suitable for students, faculty and staff.

Students win $30k, grand prize in business venture contest SAMANTHA BADGEN Staff Writer

Seven of UNT’s youngest students nabbed first place and $30,000 Friday, winning UNT’s annual Murphy Center for Entrepreneurship New Ventures Creation Contest. Students Stephanie Nguyen, David Chi, JJ Echaniz, Shannon Lu, Mariko Nakamura, Mitchell

Powell and Brian Ng, all teenagers attending UNT’s Texas Academy of Math and Science, beat out dozens of competing teams in the months-long contest, which requires applicants to create an innovative business model, with their idea for an Internet-based nonprofit tutoring service. Their company, Forward Tutoring, requires students to pay

for tutoring services with volunteer hours rather than cash. “Instead of paying $20 or $50 an hour for tutoring, they’re going to have to fulfill volunteer hours to pay for the tutoring,” said Stephanie Nguyen, who came up with the idea after seeing her sister struggle in school, unable to find affordable, convenient tutoring.

Students using the service get free credits to start with, Nguyen said, but are then required to earn tutoring sessions by accumulating volunteer hours. “Over the summer, my sister wanted to take violin lessons, but that plus tutoring was all very expensive,” she said. “I didn’t have a lot of money, but I had a lot of volunteer hours, and

I wanted to come up with a way to use those in a new way.” Nguyen said the group plans to use the $30,000 prize on website development and scholarship creation. Ng uyen sa id t he idea came to her before she knew about the contest, which she found out about through the director of the Murphy Center

for Entrepreneurship, Tony Mendez, whom she met at a business club meeting. “I went to see him the next day to tell him my idea, and he loved it,” she said. “He knows firsthand how expensive tutoring can be if you want good quality.”

Regional/National Publications committee names spring editor news briefs JOSH PHERIGO

STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS

Dallas Police honor man who helped capture Oswald Police in Dallas honored Johnny Calvin Brewer, the man who led them to Lee Harvey Oswald’s hiding place in the back of a darkened movie theater 48 years ago. Dallas Police Chief David Brown presented Brewer with a Citizen’s Certificate of Merit in a ceremony Tuesday at the Texas Theatre. Brewer helped officers arrest Oswald in the hours after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on Nov. 22, 1963. Brewer was working at a shoe store nearby when he heard about the shooting on the radio. He saw a man in the shoe store’s foyer acting strangely and followed him into the theater. The man turned out to be Oswald.

State district judge found guilty of bribery State District Judge Suzanne Wooten was found guilty Tuesday of accepting a bribe that boosted her 2008 election bid in exchange for future favorable rulings in her court. The Collin County jury in McKinney found Wooten guilty of six bribery counts and one each of money lau nder i ng, record ta mper i ng a nd engag i ng i n organized criminal activity. The penalty phase is scheduled to begin Monday, as reported by The Dallas Morning News. Wooten could receive punishment ranging from probation to life imprisonment. Prosecutors alleged the judge’s campaign consultant took six payments totaling $150,000 from a couple locked i n a bit ter ch i ld custody bat t le w it h t he husband’s ex-wife. Wooten was suspended with pay after her indictment last year.

About two dozen people left Zuccotti Park for the march, but by Tuesday the crowd had swelled to more than 40, organizer Kelley Brannon said. The crowd size f luctuated throughout, as some joined the march for brief periods.

Following her meeting with Mendez, the team spent more than a year developing the idea, acquiring nonprofit status and seeking outside funding. “The New Venture Creation Contest was just a way of getting it done,” said Chi, who was in charge of administration and management on the project.

“We had the idea and knew how we wanted to put it together; it was just a matter of getting the resources to get there.” Nguyen said she networked intensively to get the project rolling, traveling to regional business conferences to market the idea. “Big companies are giving the project a part of their education grants so that we can give them scholarships,” Nguyen said.

Editor-in-chief

The UNT Student Publications Committee met Monday afternoon to pick the next editor of the North Texas Daily. It didn’t take long. Impressed by his enthusiasm and experience, members of the committee unanimously selected journalism senior Sean Gorman, the Daily’s acting sports editor, to serve as editor-in-chief for the spring semester. Gorman was the sole applicant for the position, which is voted on each semester by a selected committee of students, faculty and administrators. The Daily’s adviser, Kathie Hinnen of the journalism faculty, said Gorman’s passion for the university and its community will help drive the paper toward innovative content that will

benefit readers. “He’s constantly thinking of new ways and new ideas to serve them,” Hinnen said. “It will be fun to watch his projects develop.” A Boston native, Gorman graduated from Denton Guyer High School and joined the Daily staff as a freshman news writer in the fall of 2008. In his eight semesters working at the Daily, Gorman has served as both writer and section editor. He covered UNT sports as a basketball, soccer, golf and softball beat reporter before serving as sports editor this spring and fall. As managing editor for the Daily’s summer magazine On the Record, Gorman helped enterprise and edit stories about the economy, culture and history of Denton, an experience he said helped to broaden his journal-

Sean Gorman istic perspective. “I didn’t want to be labeled as just ‘a sports guy,’” said Gorman, who plans to expand the Daily’s campus visibility and its use of social media. “I’d like to get the newspaper out there, taking a more visible role on campus. Like everything else at the paper, it’s going to be a group effort.” He said readers can expect

to see a good variety of stories next semester, from long-term features and breaking news to topical, off-the-field sports coverage and in-depth multimedia packages. The Mayborn School of Journalism’s news department chairwoman Nann Goplerud said she and the committee were impressed by Gorman’s presentation. “He was very clear about his ideas and wants to put his own touch on the paper,” Goplerud said. She also said Gorman’s experience as host on NTDaily TV’s weekly sports show “Mean Green Gameday” helped round out his qualifications. Gorman said he hopes to continue to expand the partnership between the Daily’s print and broadcast branches.

Vish Prasad, vice president for research and economic development, said the faculty working together in this way will produce important things for UNT as it increases its research. “It’s about creating a niche for UNT at the national and international level,” Prasad said. “It’s about something in place. We’re not creating something from nowhere. We already have faculty interested in this area. How do we strengthen them and make them bigger?” UNT is striving to become a university with high research activity, which would bring it up to the level of other Tier One universities like the University of Texas or Texas A&M, he said. “We want to go to the next level, which is the top,” Prasad said. “There’s about 100 [institutions] in each category. We want to move from the second 100 to top 100 – that’s what the goal is. The research clusters are one part of that effort.” In an effort to strengthen its undergraduate programs, the university has put a strong emphasis on becoming a nationally recognized research insti-

Dallas-based technolog y company Texas Instruments gave Forward Tutoring $7,000 for scholarships students can apply to receive.

The team also partnered w it h t he UN T Computer Science Department, whose

Pat r ick Sh ropsh i re, a psychology senior, said he believes research universities have better undergraduate programs because of the opportunities students are provided. “They have the potential with that base to strive to be a legitimate research university,” Shropshire said. “This has been a largely humanities college, but there are some good science professors here and I think if they deal with a diverse student

body, they can be a legitimate science and research university.” UNT has seen its gains in research, as it experienced an 11 percent increase in research awards totaling $36.4 million during fiscal year 2010, according to the vice president for research and development’s office. It also saw a 20 percent increase in federally reported research expenditures, totaling $37.5 million.

director David Keathly, instituted a program in which students get course credit for working on the website’s development. “It really helped us a lot,” Nguyen said. “It cut down on a lot of the cost involved with creating the site.” As of now, the project is undergoing data testing, and has several dozen student users already lined up, Nguyen said.

Denton couple camps out early for Black Friday deals M ARLENE GONZALEZ Staff Writer

A c ouple i s c u r r e nt l y camped outside the Best Buy located off Loop 288.

Vanderstelt, 20, said this is his first time waiting outside a store. “I’ll be excited once it gets here,” he said. “It’ll be much better when there are more people to talk to.” Propping up tents to spend the night outside a store has been a routine for the past years on Black Friday, but t h i s yea r fa m i l ies m ig ht have to leave Thanksgiving dinner early to catch a spot in line with stores opening at midnight.

On a recent morning Patrick Smith pushes a dolly piled high with crates bearing the logo of the United States Postal Service through the winding halls of the Eagle Student Services Center. With a friendly smile and a call of “good morning,” he greets workers as he drops off stacks of letters and picks up various envelopes. Smith, a history senior, has been a student mail carrier for UNT for two years. He works five hours a day, five days a week for $7.75 an hour and is one of seven mail services employ e e s w ho pr o c e s s and deliver all ingoing and outgoing mail for about 200 departments on campus. “I really like the flexibility that we have,” Smith said. “You know, they recognize the fact that I am a student first, so if I need off, they’ll let me off given the situation.” Mail services is also respon-

sible for intercampus mail. Accord ing to its website, employees process more than 600,000 pieces of intercampus mail every year. All mail that is delivered to the university is sorted by route by the workers in the UNT Eagle Express Mail Center. Mail services then sorts the mail by department. Cindy Fa rrel l, assista nt mail supervisor, does all of the accounting work for mail services and also helps sort about 1.5 million pieces of firstclass mail a year, according to its website. “I have worked here for about 10 years,” Farrell said. “I love the interaction with the people who come to the door.” The campus is broken up into four delivery routes. Smith is in charge of the green route, the only walking route. “Every carrier is different in how they do their route,” Smith said. “There is a set way the route is supposed to work and then there is the variations

Unauthorized parking costs students hundreds A LLISON MILLER

Contributing Writer A fter work on a recent evening, UNT criminal justice senior Sean Lavery went to a friend’s apartment to relax. All of the visitor parking spaces were taken, so he found an empty row of resident spaces and parked his car. W hile watching television, Lavery fell asleep on the couch. The next morning his car was nowhere to be found. Nearly $200 later, Lavery got his Ford Focus back. “I know the towing people are just doing their job, but I think it’s dumb to get towed when there are plenty of spaces open,” Lavery said. Many students have encountered t his problem when parking in student apartment complexes. They must then find where their car has been towed, how much it will cost and how to get the money to release it from impound. Signs at most apartment complexes warn drivers about parking in user spots without permits. Though visitor spots

are usually clearly marked, they are often hard to find or are in a far corner of the complex. Laver y’s friend lives at Gateway at Denton, a gated apartment complex for students. The apartment’s lot has a visitorparking section for each side of the complex. On the west side, the visitor section has a row of 22 parking spaces in the far corner. The east side offers two rows of visitor parking with a total of 39 spaces. Not permitting visitors to park in residential areas is an effort to maintain available parking spots near their building, property manager Crystal Mackey said. “If we just let every single person and their friends park in front of the buildings, you as the resident would be parking on the other side of the property and would have to walk all that way at night,” she said. It’s convenience and it’s part of what the residents pay for in their rent, she said. On The Road Again Towing is a company commissioned by Gateway to tow unauthorized

cars from the property. The company’s employees predominately drive through during the night to tow cars parked in residents’ spots without a permit. They also go when they receive a phone call from a resident whose paid covered parking spot is occupied by another vehicle. Co-owner John Foster said they usually tow two or three cars each night. Angry drivers looking for their cars often voice their frustrations at Foster. Though it isn’t his fault, he said, he gets to deal with the irritated visitors. “You would think all these kids that pay thousands of dollars for school would be able to read a sign that says ‘no parking,’” Foster said. “Once you make the mistake, you won’t make it again.” The high price to get cars out of impound, however, is mandated by the state. The state sets a maximum limit, and individual companies set their own prices. Foster said his company’s price of $198.30 is about $90 below the state maximum.

UNT suffers 33-point defeat in Arlington Men’s Basketball BOBBY LEWIS

Senior Staff Writer In the teams’ 51st all time matchup, the UNT men’s basketball team was outplayed on all fronts by Texas Arlington Tuesday, getting routed by the Mavericks 97-64. The Metroplex rivals played their final matchup at UTA’s Texas Hall before it opens up a new arena next season. UNT was overwhelmed by UTA (3-0) right out of the gate, which led the Mavericks to a 55-18 halftime advantage. The Mean Green (1-2) played better in the second half, outscoring UTA by 2 points, but played a majority of the half with a 40-point deficit. “We just didn’t come out with intensity,” freshman guard Chris Jones said. “We just weren’t ready to play.” UNT struggled with the press UTA’s full-court pressure early in the game, leading to easy buckets for the Mavericks off the Mean Green’s turnovers. UNT finished the game with 24 turnovers after turning the ball over a combined 28 times in its first two games. “The press gave us a little bit of trouble, but as a unit we panicked,” Jones said. “We’ve worked on it in practice; we just couldn’t break it. We really weren’t expecting it.” Jones led UNT in scoring for the second consecutive game with 20 points.

The game against the No. 24 Bulldogs (5-1) will mark the third of seven straight road games for the Mean Green. UNT has started the road trip 0-2 after winning its home opener against St. Gregory’s.

“We just have to play better than what we did tonight [Tuesday] on Sunday,” Jones said. “We can’t look back. We’ve just got to keep moving forward from here on out.” The opening tip is at 1:30 p.m. Sunday in Starkville, Miss. UNT head coach Johnny Jones wasn’t available for comment after the game.

SMU jumped out to a 9-0 early lead partially because of poor shooting by UNT. The Mean Green did not make a basket until sophomore guard Desiree Nelson netted a pair of free throws at the 11:27 mark of the first half. However, UNT capitalized on its free throw attempts – making nine of 12 – and rallied as the half progressed to trail the Mustangs 22-20 at halftime.

tremendous,” Aston said. “In the stretch where we had Jasmine in foul trouble in the first half, I thought she energized our team and played so hard that the rest of the team had no choice but to join in with her.” The Mean Green next takes to the court Friday against Texas State in San Marcos before traveling to face the Arizona Wildcats Monday in Tucson, Ariz. TSU is 3-1 this season with its only loss coming against Air Force. The Bobcats have averaged nearly 80 points per game while holding opponents to an average of 54 points. “Just knowing that we can win and that we’re a better team than we’ve shown will help us when we’re on the road,” Torru said. “We have so much more to offer.”

the Mean Green went on an 8-point run during which it held the Mustangs scoreless for nearly seven minutes. “In the Oral Roberts game, we had a stretch where we couldn’t do anything and we sort of caved in,” head coach Karen Aston said. “But tonight they didn’t do that; as a team they grew up a little bit, stayed together and didn’t quit.” SMU mounted a late rally to bring the score within 1 point in the final minutes of the game, but UNT fended off the Mustangs comeback and held on for the win. Torru led the Mean Green with 13 points, but also provided a spark when junior forward Jasmine Godbolt, UNT’s leading scorer through its first three games, was in foul trouble. “Her effort was absolutely

Five consecutive 20-w in seasons. Tw o NC A A Tourna ment Appea ra nces. Two Sun Belt Championships. One Su n Belt Con ference Runner-Up finish. The stats speak for thems elve s : men’s ba sketba l l head coach Joh n ny Jones has created a winning tradition in his 10-year tenure in Denton that UNT has never seen before. However, this season’s team has its work cut out for it if it plans to keep the winning tradition going. Fol low i ng la st sea son’s heartbreaking, last-second loss to Arkansas-Little Rock in the Sun Belt Tournament Championship Game, seven seniors graduated as part of a class that notched 86 wins.. The class included star point g ua rd Josh W h ite, g ua rd Tristan Thompson (the team’s leading scorer), and center George Odufuwa (the team’s leading rebounder). Though the task won’t be easy, this year’s team shows promise. Five players from last year are back, including senior for wards Kendrick Hogans

and Alonzo Edwards. In addition, Jones and his staff landed the No. 31-ranked recruiting class in the nation this offseason. T he st reng t h of t he recr uit ing class has been evident in the season’s first few games. Freshman guard Jordan Williams led the team with 16 points in an 81-52 win over St. Gregory’s in the season opener and freshman guard Chris Jones torched the Texas Tech Red Raiders for 31 points in a 69-64 loss last week. As if that wasn’t enough, the team’s most prized recruit, for ward Tony Mitchell, the No. 12 recruit in the class of 2010, hasn’t played because of eligibility issues that will keep him out until Dec. 17. As great as this team looks on paper, the Mean Green’s promise will be meaningless if it fails to gel. Luckily, Johnny Jones and the men have made sure that doesn’t happen. A ny t i me a tea m goes through as much roster turnover as the men’s basketball team has (nine new players), it’s not easy to create chemist r y. Players must lea r n their roles, get to know one another’s tendencies, etc., all while absorbing coach Jones’ offense, defensive scheme and so on.

Austin Schubert A f ter goi ng to pract ice, watching and ta lk ing w ith the guys, they seem to have really come together nicely despite being together for just a few months. The players have spent time together outside of basketba l l, wh ich has ser ved to build relationships among them and help them bond as a team. G el l i ng a s a g r oup i s a n i nt a ng ible, but ever y successful team has it. Off the court intangibles normally end up being just as importa nt a s execut ion on t he court. With the quick rate at which the team is gelling, it would be no surprise to see them continue the winning tradition and earn a third NCA A Tournament appearance in six years.

Mean Green Trivia The UNT women’s basketball team defeated a foe it has struggled against recently when it beat the SMU Mustangs 50-46 Tuesday. Before the game, SMU had owned the Mean Green, winning each of the last five and eight of the last nine meetings between the teams. When was the last time UNT defeated its rival from Dallas before Tuesday’s win? Answer: The last time UNT defeated the Mustangs came during the 2005-2006 season in an 84-69 win at the Super Pit.

Campus Chat What is your favorite food for Thanksgiving?

“Turkey, because it tastes good and it’s low in calories.”

Mehak Fatima

Speech language and pathology junior

“Probably stuffing because it tastes so good, or my mom’s pumpkin pie, actually. It’s pumpkin pie and you only get it once a year. So pumpkin pie, there we go!”

Lauren Rhodes Economics senior

“My favorite food for Thanksgiving is turkey ‘cause it’s traditional and I just like turkey.”

Cameron Lucks History senior

“I really like to have turkey, of course, and we usually have ham, which I really like that. My favorite thing, though, is the sweet potatoes with marshmallows on top.”

NT Daily Editorial Board: Nods and Shakes Nod: Johnny Calvin Brewer Nearly a century ago, an unsung hero helped aid in the arrest of JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald. After the commotion of the assassination, reports and descriptions of Oswald spread quickly around Dallas. Store clerk Johnny Brewer noticed someone nervously browsing the selection of shoes and suspected him to be the assailant described on the radio. He bravely followed him out of the store into a nearby theater, notified the cops, and patiently sat in the back so he could identify Oswald once the authorities arrived. Dallas PD finally honored Brewer this week after 48 years for putting

himself in danger that afternoon and ensuring that one of America’s most notorious criminals was safely caught.

Shake: UNT student pees on Best Buy campers’ tent This week’s rain may have come as a shock to North Texas residents, but on Friday morning the Vanderstelt family woke up to a very different kind of drizzle. Brandon Vanderstelt and his wife have been camping in front of Best Buy since last week, hoping to capitalize on some sweet post-Thanksgiving deals. Just after 6 a.m. on Friday, two UNT

students were caught urinating on their tent by an NBC 5 crew doing a story about the campers. The crew was able to follow the peepertrators to their car and record an image of the license plate, leading to their eventual arrest on charges of public urination and disorderly conduct. “It’s stupid,” Vanderstelt said. “I don’t know why someone would do that.”

Nod: Thanksgiving food The Daily would like to commend turkey, cranberry sauce, dressing and the rest of the gang for ensuring a happy holiday weekend. Year in, year out, these guys make

it possible for us to tolerate our family and the inevitable collapse of the Cowboys. After they’ve soothed us into a fully sedentary afternoon, they reward us with a three-hour nap, truly going beyond the basic requirements for a meal. Aside from their own intrinsic value, turkey and company keep afloat a holiday that would otherwise be overshadowed by its neighbors to the immediate past and future. Halloween has alcohol and candy and Christmas has presents. That’s pretty stiff competition for a holiday that celebrates a historical (read: boring) event. Thanks, food!

If you aren’t already protesting, you should be At the beginning of this semester, I w rote a cautiously optimistic piece about the Occupy Movement protesters. Since then, a number of people have questioned the legitimacy of their complaints. As others have pointed out, it’s funny to see the conservative talking point change from “where are the jobs?” to “just go get a job!” so quickly. I can’t speak for the protesters, only myself. But if we’re talking about complaints here at UNT, ma ke no m i st a ke, t here a re plenty of things worth protesting: Since 2003, the Board of Regents – an unelected body appointed by the governor – has controlled the cost of tuition at this “public” school. It has continued to spiral upward with no signs of slowing. The governor’s primary selection criterion for our board of regents is cronyism, not public service. Not one of our regents had any sort of professional academic service experience before being appointed to control this university. One of the newest members, Donald Potts, was rejected for the position in 2007, so he made a $10,000 contribution to the governor’s 2008 campaign and was approved this time around. Knowing they aren’t held respons i ble f or t u it ion i nc r e a s e s , leg islators have cont i nuously voted to cut funding for UNT. Mea nwh i le, t hey consistent ly vote to increase student fees. Not one elected leader has ever publ icly foug ht aga i nst t hese cut s. Ad m i n ist rators have never missed a chance to show

t hei r suppor t for t hose w ho wou ld pa r a l y z e t h i s school. Trust me, few people have worked harder than I have to address these issues “within the system.” I have supported and voted for candidates who would support higher education. I have written about these things repeatedly since 2006. I have discussed them with elected representatives and school administration. I tried to talk about them at a higher education committee meeting in Austin, but was told – after waiting for hours to speak during public testimony – that I would not be allowed to address the issues I came there to talk about. So scratch out the “cautious” part of the optimism I wrote about at the beginning of the semester. Replace it with “desperate.” If you really believe there’s nothing to complain about, take a look around.

Civilians shouldn’t drive look-a-like police cars It’s nighttime and you’re speeding down I-35E at 80 mph – windows rolled down, radio turned up – when you spot the unmistakablyshaped brake lights of a police car ahead. You immediately slow down to the regulated crawl of 60 mph and nervously continue ahead. As you get closer to these rectangular, red lights, you notice the lack of markings on the white car. You also notice that there are no red and blue lights on the roof. “Must be one of those unmarked police cars,” you think to yourself. At this point you realize that the car is driving about 5 miles under the speed limit. In a hurry, you cautiously move into the passing lane and, looking straight ahead, you begin to slowly pass the friendly policeman. But it isn’t a policeman;, it’s just some civilian who bought an old, retired squad car from the police department – a fast-growing trend. “More and more private citizens are getting a steal of deal by purchasing late-model former law enforcement vehicles,” said Jay MacDonald in an article he wrote on Bankrate. com. This has happened to me on numerous occasions, and it’s made me question the legality of a random person driving around in a car that looks so similar to a police car. According to Texas law, as long as the vehicle does not have the logo of a police department, it’s perfectly legal to drive a police car. But we’ve all seen unmarked police cars, and according to an article in USA Today, police departments

are stepping up the use of these “stealth” cruisers in order to catch speeders. It’s not just an annoying problem. This could have some dangerous consequences. W hat’s to stop a serial killer or a rapist from buying an old police car at an auction and using it to pull over victims? Also, police cars are much faster and more durable than your average passenger vehicle, making the escape easier for criminals. I think these retired vehicles, before being sold to the public, should be repainted any color other than white. This would make them less similar to police vehicles and would hopefully cut down on dreaded highway brake tapping. More importantly, it could also prevent criminals from getting away with their crimes under the guise of a law enforcement official.
