The criminalistics program recently acquired two new buildings and some outdoor space to set up crime scenes for student’s investigations.
Students get hands-on with ‘Crime Scene City’
BY MELISSA BOUGHTON Senior Staff Writer
Students in the criminalistics program are getting a dose of reality this semester with the opening of “Crime Scene City.” The university has provided two buildings adjacent to the UNT Library Annex for the criminalistics program to set up crime scenes for investigational use by students. “While we’ve done crime scene scenarios over the last six to eight years, it’s always been a situation where we would have to set them up, take them back down, and it just didn’t work out very well at all,” said Edward Hueske, of the criminal justice department. A new crime scene investigations class uses the scientific method at crime scenes and has
a need for a more permanent set-up, Hueske said. “It just absolutely was necessary to have the space to be able to lay out these scenarios and keep them set-up for weeks, if not months,” he said. Hueske made a request to the university for the space and was granted two buildings and the outdoor area on Precision Drive to set up the crime scenes. Students used the space for the third time on Tuesday as they investigated tire tracks and practiced lifting footprints from various surfaces with electronic devices. “You can sit in class all day and try to learn something, but until you actually, physically go out in the field, do it with the surroundings and conditions,
To see a multimedia slideshow of the class: ntdaily.com you’re not really going to learn,” said Heather Chamberlin, a photography senior. Chamberlin, who is also pursuing a forensics certificate, said the crime scenes are a lot different than what students see on television shows such as CSI. “This gives them something that television doesn’t, and that is the sweat and hard work that’s involved, because by the end of the day, this is just like working in a big-city crime scene unit and having to go from crime to crime,” Hueske said. “It’s hard work and it’s tedious, and it’s not quite as romantic as they portray
it to say the least.” As a result of the many television shows, jobs in criminal investigations have been on the rise. Hueske said that an opening in a crime scene unit in Reno, Nev., received more than 1200 applicants. “So, we try to give the students a realistic idea of what’s really involved and give them a good dose of reality in the face of all the entertainment aspects that are out there,” he said. At the beginning of the semester, Hueske said he could only do demonstrations with the materials students are now using in the crime scene investigations.

Student court to Rescue group releases rabbits into wild decide on vote BY JOSH PHERIGO Staff Writer
Homecoming debate nears conclusion Brief BY CAROLYN BROWN Senior Staff Writer
The controversy generated by the Student Government A s s o c i a t i o n’s s a m e - s e x Homecoming issue may soon reach a resolution, either through the students or the SGA Supreme Court. A court hearing today will determine if students should vote on whether same-sex and gender-neutral couples can run for positions on the Homecoming court. Stephen Ben av ide s, a political science junior, will argue his case against the SGA. The court brief, which was filed Monday, calls for the court to invalidate the referendum and create trial and appellate branches of the SGA’s judicial branch. The hearing is the latest in a series of events caused by the senate’s rejection of a bill that would have allowed
same-sex couples to be on the court. After weeks of controversy and protests, the Student Senate voted on Oct. 21 to take the issue to a student referendum, which is scheduled for Nov.16 to 20 v ia www.untsga.com. The SGA Supreme Court is a group of five students appointed by the SGA president to hear cases brought by students and organizations. The hearing is scheduled from 7 to 9 p.m. today in Wooten Hall 310. It is open to the public. The senate also approved Cia ra Tr ista n, a Spa nish la ng uage sophomore and member of t he elect ion board, as the new Election Coordinator. The senate approved Joel Snipes, a business sophomore, to take her place on the board.
About two-dozen people gathered Wednesday afternoon at a Southlake nature preserve to support seven cottontail rabbits in their reintroduction to the North Texas wild. The event, at Bob Jones Nature Preserve, was sponsored by the Denton-area wild life organization, Wild Rescue Inc. “We rescue and release between 500 and 700 rabbits each year in the North Texas area,” the group’s director, Diana Leggett said. Leggett said rabbits have moved into urban areas as cities expand and consume much of their natural habitat. She said the rabbits brought to the organization are often
orphaned and must be nursed back to health before they can be released. “More and more cottontails have moved to the cities and out of rural areas in recent years because of the amount of suburban gardens and parks,” Leggett said. “Dogs, cats and lawnmowers often find rabbit nests and kill the mothers.” Ten-year-old resident Quinn Roberts attended the event with his family. He said he was glad to lend some of his own rabbit knowledge when Leggett asked the children if they knew how many times a rabbit mother feeds her babies. “Once or twice a day,” Roberts answered. “She doesn’t want to alert predators to where the nest
is located.” Lindsay Hooker, the group’s vice president of public relations, said its Web site, www.rescuedrabbits.com, has information on how people can help save rabbits. She said the organization held a fundraiser at the Albertson’s off Swisher Road on Saturday
and will continue to hold fundraisers periodically throughout the year. Katie Voss, a three-year-old Grapevine resident, was noticeably excited to give the rabbits a fond farewell. “Rabbits go really fast,” Voss said. “And also, they have really big ears!”

Criminal justice students prepare for competition Continued from Page 1 “We were doing things in labs, but again, it was just through textbooks and different controlled areas, and so we get more flexibility when we can come out here and set things up on our own and work more with our groups and classmates,” said Stormie Cooley, criminal justice senior. Hueske said he hopes to eventually acquire more buildings and create a crime scene village. The new crime-scene city will also help students prepare for an annual crime scene competition at the University of Texas at Arlington, he said. “My students have won first place and second place two years running in that and so we intend to do even better because we are going for a clean sweep,” Hueske said. The next competition will take place in May. Until then students have a final project to look forward to in December. “At the conclusion of the semester, I let the students create the crime scenes,” Hueske said. The students will break into groups, create a crime scene and then work another crime scene created by a different group. “It is a lot better than sitting in a classroom,” said Crystal Nelson, a sociology senior.

Beginning fall 2010, Texans will no longer have to move out of state for a four-year degree in aviation, as UNT will be Texas’ first public university to offer a Bachelor of Science degree in aviation logistics.
New business degree offers career path in aviation field BY JOSH PHERIGO Staff Writer

Criminal justice students Scott Brandt, a senior, Kevin Zieschang, a junior, and Crystin Gray, a junior, work on identifying a vehicle’s tire tracks.
UNT students can start looking to the sky for future career opportunities next fall. The College of Business will soon offer an aviation logistics degree, the first of its kind among public universities in Texas, said Steve Swartz of the marketing and logistics faculty. “The program will fill a gap in the state’s university system,” Swartz said. “Aviation is a critical part of the modern economy, and we want to prepare our graduates to be the industry leaders.” Students participating in the Bachelor of Science degree program will complete the “core” business school requirements before choosing one of two elective paths at the beginning of their senior year, Swartz said. The elective classes will focus on either aircraft operations or management and analysis, Swartz said. Though opportunities for students to become pilots are
included in the program, flight training will not be offered by UNT, he said. The majority of the program is intended for students wishing to pursue opportunities in other aspects of the aviation industry, Swartz said. “Actual f lying jobs only make up about 15 percent of all aviation careers,” Swartz said. “Not everyone is going to be a pilot, and there’s a ton of great aviation jobs out there.” Swartz said the vision of the program encompasses “all types of students” including a large number of transfer students from area community colleges. “What makes our program special is our inclusivity,” Swartz said. “There are so many great community-college-affiliated flight schools in the area, and we don’t want to take away from those programs.” Swartz went on to say the program will allow students to apply the credit they’ve already earned in aviation at community colleges toward obtaining their bachelor’s degree. Laura Rusnok, a senior busi-
ness student who already holds a private pilot license, said she plans to switch to the aviation logistics degree to pursue a career as a commercial pilot. “The aviation focus will give a lot more value to my degree in the industry I want to join,” said Rusnok, whose groundwork in flight school will transfer as credit hours toward her degree. The degree course work will be designed to prepare graduates to take on professions in all aspects of an industry that has more than 495,000 occupations, according to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics. The Bureau’s Web site lists the average annual income for all air transportation occupations at about $54,000 and all management occupations at about $97,000. With major aviation companies in the Dallas-Fort Worth area like Lockheed Martin, Bell Helicopter, the Dallas/ Fort Wort h Internationa l Airport and American Airlines, Swartz said UNT is a perfect location for such a program.
Spanish media handbook provides details for research BY CALI A. THOMPSON Contributing Writer
Want to be the editor? Publications Committee seeks Spring NT Daily Editor. Applications available online at www.ntdaily.com, ntdailydatabase.com and in GAB117. Applicants must submit a resume and two letters of recommendation (one recommendation letter shall be from a faculty member and one recommendation letter from a faculty, staff member, or professional journalist outside of the NT Daily) along with the completed application. Completed applications should be emailed by 5p.m., November 13* to Dr. Jay Allison, jay.allison@unt.edu Applicants to be able to meet with Publications Committee Tuesday, November 17 at 2:15 p.m. in GAB 114 *Incomplete or late applications will not be accepted.
St udents a nd schola rs researching the Spanish-speaking media have a new resource titled “The Handbook of Spanish Language Media.” Published Aug. 5, the book gives detailed information in English about media in 22 Spanishspeaking countries, including the U.S. It also provides collective chapters focusing on topics within Spanish-language media. “Language of the media is similar, but the countries are not,”
said Ryan Salzman, a political science graduate student and teaching fellow. Salzman and his wife Catherine contributed a chapter to the book focusing on the media in Central America. Alan Albarran of the radio, television and film faculty edited the book. He is also the director of the university’s Center for Spanish Language Media. The need for a comprehensive resource came in 2006 from a Center for Spanish Language Media guest speaker, María Elena Gutiérrez, former chairwoman
of the communications school at the Universidad Panamericana in Mexico City. Gutiérrez noted the lack of data sources and research on media in Mexico. The center’s program project coordinator Christine Paswan said that the handbook’s content is one-of-a-kind because it comes from many different countries. Many of the book’s authors are natives to the countries they write about. Albarran wrote and edited another reference book titled, “The Handbook of Media Management and Economics.” Some of the contributing authors were previously involved with the Center for Spanish Language Media. It took about two years for the authors to compile all the information. Salzman described gathering the information like “herding cats.” Because the information was contributed from 22 different countries, some data was conflicting and much of it was out-dated, leaving gaps. From the countries it covered, the media range from government-funded in developing countries to more consumer-driven. Albarran said in the press release that he hopes the handbook will provide an agenda for future study and provide a baseline of research on Spanishlanguage media from a global perspective. Salzman said he agreed that the handbook should be a useful aid to students. “[The reader] can move 1,500 miles just by flipping a page,” he said. Albarran was unavailable for comment at press time.

Dance and Theater brings Van Gogh to life BY MORGAN WALKER Staff Writer
One of the most famous painters in histor y will be brought to life during the UNT Dance and Theater production of “Vincent in Brixton.” The play is based on the early life of Vincent Van Gogh and will show at the Studio Theater in the Radio, Television, Film & Performing Arts Building on the corner of Welch and Chestnut streets. Cody Lucas, a theater arts senior, stars as Van Gogh and Mandy Fason, an English literature senior, as Ursula Loyer, a widow who runs the London boarding house where Van Gogh lives. While staying at the boarding house in the 1870s, Van Gogh fa lls for Loyer’s daughter, Eugenie, but discovers she is engaged to another man. A secret affair then develops between Van Gogh and Ursula, who is twice his age. Playwright Nicholas Wright reveals the tormented feelings the artist-to-be faced before he beca me t he renow ned painter, according to a UNT press release. Lucas said he had a lot of fun researching the life of Van Gogh and has done a few things to help him get into character. “I have to listen to my Dutch dialect, my French speech and I like to listen to a few songs that get me in the mood,” Lucas said. Fason said she is excited about bringing the life of an

Prof shares tribal ‘Diaries’ BY STEPHANIE DANIELS Contributing Writer
A Native American professor wants to share a personal film with the UNT community. “Spiral of Fire” is part one of the award-winning documentary series “Indian Country Diaries.” The film focuses on the Native American experience in the 21st century. ”It basically follows a writer/ journalist as she goes to North Carolina where the Eastern Band of Cherokees have lived for 10,000 or more years,” said Carol Cornsilk, radio, television, and film lecturer and co-producer of “Indian Country Diaries.” “She goes there to find out what they’re doing now to survive or strengthen themselves in the 21st century.” Cornsilk is part of the Cherokee Nation of Okalahoma tribe and a 27-year veteran of the film production industry. She is also president of the production company Adanvdo Vision, Inc. “Adanvdo means heart and spirit,” she said. Cornsilk began teaching at

UNT in 2008, and tonight will be the first time she showcases one of her films. “This film is different because it looks at it from the inside looking inside, rather than the outside looking in,” she said. “It’s a combination of a personal journey for LeAnne Howe. She’s got a personal history of being adopted by a Cherokee family, fathered by a Cherokee that she didn’t ever know.” Executive producer Frank Bly t he has worked w it h Cornsilk since 2000 and is the founder and executive director of Native American Public Telecommunications.
“We wanted to show different Native American groups around the country that the general public didn’t know about,” he said. “It took a long time.” Blythe belongs to the Eastern Band of Cherokee, the tribe featured in “Spiral of Fire.” “Not a lot of people know about Native Americans today,” Cornsilk said. “I hope this film can help strengthen communication for the future.” “Spiral of Fire” will showcase at 7 tonight as part of the RTVF Faculty Screening Series in RTFP Building 184. Cornsilk will introduce the film and answer audience questions afterward.

artist through another medium of performing art. “I think it’s a beautiful way to be able to tell a story about someone who chose to be an artist, which is a very difficult life to take,” Fason said. Fason also said she uses certain parts of her life to help her get into the dark, energetic character of Loyer. “A lot of the closure to this play is that from all of this darkness and sorrow, we have all of this beautiful art that is enjoyed by others,” Fason said. Blake Hametner, a theater a r ts senior a nd associate director, did extensive work on props and cooking, which is a huge part of the play, he said. “It’s so hands-on on my part,” Hametner said. “I have to tell five different actors how to cook and make tea all in the 18th century.” Actors will use a live cooking stove with cast-iron fixtures on the stage. Hametner said the thing he likes most about the play is
taking someone like Vincent Van Gogh and showing him as a human being. “You see his paintings and get all mixed up in the romanticized version of him, like how he chopped off his ear,” Hametner said, “I really think that if people come and see this play, it’ll change their perspective of him because it doesn’t show Vincent as this crazed painting person.”

Quarterback ‘blessed’ to learn from greats BY ERIC JOHNSON Senior Staff Writer
Like a 6-foot, 190-pound dagger, quarterback Riley Dodge continuously stabbed the heart of the Western Kentucky University defense on Saturday night in a 68-49 win. After fighting through injuries and living in the training room during the last six weeks, he brushed away his early season struggles and played the type of game he was famous for in high school, with 332 total yards and seven total touchdowns, earning him his second Sun Belt Conference Player of the Week award. “This is who he really is as a player,� said Chase Wasson, former Southlake Carroll High School quarterback. “It is amazing when you think about it. Our relationship has gone from him being my biggest fan to me being his biggest fan.� Being born into a football family, Riley Dodge fell in love with the game from a young age. His grandfather, Ebbie Neptune, was a legend in Texas high school football, and spent a quartercentury as the athletic director at Austin Westlake High School. “Riley and my dad have always had this special relationship,� said Elizabeth Dodge, his mother. “Between Todd and my dad, Riley was practically born with a ball in his hand, and he has not put it
down since.� And then there was his father, Todd Dodge, who played the two most important roles in his sons’ life: father and coach. “Riley was a field house kid, he always wanted to be around me while I was coaching,� said UNT head coach Todd Dodge. “We have always had a great relationship and I think it has only grown stronger over the last few years.� In 1994, when Riley Dodge was just 5 years old, his father took over as head coach at Cameron Yoe High School. While his mother finished up her degree at UNT, he made the trip with his father and the two lived in the coach’s office at the school for the first two months. “I always refer to that as our two-month camp out,� Todd Dodge said. “That is probably my favorite memory with Riley, and it is one of those times that I will always cherish.� Growing up as a coach’s son, Riley Dodge was always thinking about football, and even as a young man he was already practicing for a career in coaching. “I would get in so much trouble from my mom for drawing up football plays in church,� Riley Dodge said. “I would always give them to my dad and try to get him to use him in a game.� Riley Dodge said his biggest critic is not his father and coach,

but his mother. “She is fiery and she grew up watching football,� Riley Dodge said. “She will always let me know when I do something she doesn’t like.� While he was still in elementary school, he was a ball boy for his granddad at Austin Westlake and got to interact with future NFL pro-bowler Drew Brees. He remained close with Brees through the years, and when Brees was a finalist for the Davey O’ Brien Award in 1999, Riley Dodge and his family were invited to come to the ceremony. “I have been very blessed to grow up around great quarterbacks, from understudying to McElroy and Daniel to getting to know Drew Brees,� Riley Dodge said. “I was always that kid throwing the ball around on the field, and Drew took time to teach me some things.� The dynamic dual-threat quarterback also followed a lineage of great high school quarterbacks when he stepped in as a starter at Southlake Carroll. The first was Chase Wasson, who shared a room with Riley Dodge when he first moved to Southlake, and became a big brother and mentor to the 10-year-old Dodge. “Riley was a cool kid, and we became best friends almost immediately,� Chase Wasson said. “I was kind of like his chauffeur, he loved riding around with me and wanted to go wherever I was going. I remember the first thing he showed me when we met was this tape of his little league championship game, and I knew that he was going to be a special player.�

For the second-straight year, t he UNT women’s basketball team will host the Texas Woman’s University Pioneers in an exhibition game before the regular season launches on Nov. 14. Playing its first game since March 7, the Mean Green tips off against the Pioneers 7 p.m. today at the Super Pit. “E x h ibit ion ga me s a re important because it’s a great time to get under the game lights and see how we will react in different situations,� head coach Shanice Stephens said. “It’s a great tune up that doesn’t hurt your w in-loss record.� T W U is f u ll of fa milia r faces not only because the two teams faced off last year,
but also because two former UNT players transferred there during the summer. “It’s going to be weird, but it’s going to be a good competitive game,� Brittney James said. “We really want to beat them, regardless if they are there or not. We want revenge because they played us really close last year.� James, a criminal justice senior, is approaching the Mean Green top-10 scoring list with her 929 career points, but instead of focusing on putting points on the scoreboard, she said she wants to be a more complete player by improving her defense. “The points are going to come,� James said. “But on defense, I need to learn how to play through when I am tired and work hard the whole
time.� One of the tallest players in Mean Green women’s basketball history, Chynna Burwell sta nds at 6-feet 4-inches. Although Burwell, a sociology junior, is a new addition to UNT after transferring Trinity Community College, she said she ex pects to cont ribute around 10 rebounds and points a game. “I need to step up and be a leader on offense and defense,�
Burwell said. “Then I need to dominate the boards.� Still without defined starters at two positions, Stephens said the exhibition game will help determine who wins the right to start when the season commences. “I have a couple of key players playing multiple positions,� Stephens said. “I want to see what they are best at also if they are comfortable with doing duel roles.�

Online resources Vote for acceptance, not ignorance cheat students Editorial
The technology revolution, especially the Internet, has seeped into every aspect of students’ lives. Aside from students spending half their lives on Facebook and the other half texting between — or during — classes, technology has also made its way into the classroom itself. From online courses to posting notes, every semester higher education moves closer to all classroom resources being available online. Many students welcome the ease and convenience of this shift. In truth, it is detrimental to their education. Shifting the stage of education from a classroom to a computer screen destroys the interaction between students and professors, defeating the entire purpose of paying thousands of dollars for their expert guidance. The intention of this shift was to enhance professors’ ability to reach their students, but its effect is quite the opposite. Posting notes online makes it too tempting for students to skip class, reducing what should be a fruitful learning experience to memorizing PowerPoints. College is meant to test a student’s capacity to think critically, not the capacity of their short-term memory. Simply memorizing the course material defeats the purpose of college, a place where students are supposed to absorb knowledge and learn to apply it in a useful way. The best way to learn is through active participation, and removing the relationship between students and professors makes achieving this difficult, if not impossible. In short, it robs students of a true educational experience. Students pay top dollar to access their professors’ expertise, and online notes cannot replace real interaction with a professor and engagement with the material. While it’s completely possible to have a rich learning experience with online courses and resources, they make it difficult by putting too much power into the hands of students, making it easy to do the least amount of work and still receive a decent grade. College should be challenging, and allowing online resources to replace traditional classrooms takes this challenge away, depriving students of the opportunity to truly grow and learn.
Campus Chat
After weeks of bickering and anger between the Student G over n ment A ssociat ion, the International Socialist Organization, and the gay and lesbian community over the right for same-sex couples to run in homecoming elections, the issue is now up to students to decide what rights a group of people is allowed. The vote will take place from Nov. 16-20. I will be voting yes and I strongly encourage others on this campus to do the same. This is not an issue of morality or what you think about homosexuality. My faith and my morals say that it is wrong, but they also tell me it is not my right to judge others. The issue is that a group of human beings is being treated
like a lower class of citizens. The bill that I would really like to see is one that would do away with these childish elections all together, or at least make everyone run as individuals. But unfortunately that bill has not been introduced by any of the senators. I do not agree with the senate members’ cop-out. This is an issue that should have been solved by them but, as is the case in every level of politics, they were scared to stand out or try to make a difference. They have a voice to represent the students and need to use it. They should stand up for what they believe in and what they think students want, because if issues like this are
going to be pawned off on the students, why bother having an SGA at all? It will speak volumes about the maturity and growth of this campus if students pass this amendment. This is an opportunity to accept people for who they are, and not who you think they should be. While this issue may seem trivial — because it is — it is something that the gay and lesbian community on this campus feels is important, so I will support them in their efforts. I t hink t here a re more important issues of equality they should be after, but sometimes you need to start small to build. I am disappointed in the SGA for the way it handled this
situation, but now it is left to us and we need to make the right choice. Look beyond the surface and your personal beliefs and give this group of people the rights that should be allowed to everyone, regardless of race, religion or sexual orientation.

False advertising objectifies women I f a stene d t he closu re behind my back and admired my s el f i n t he ov er si z e d mirror. The girl looking back at me from the mirror took me by surprise. I turned this way and that, admiring from all angles. I looked great. Then I realized I would be wearing a lie. My favor ite u nder wea r store has just come out with a push-up bra that not only shapes and lifts but also adds two cup sizes. I can tell you from personal experience that it works, just as easily as I can tell you that I was ta ken aback at how quick ly I decided I needed those extra cup sizes. I’m a sma ll g irl, but for some reason the silky material and swanky dressing room convinced me that I should
be the proud new owner of a pair of DDs. After my initial excitement, reality kicked in. How could I have entertained t he idea for even a moment? People would definitely notice if from Monday to Tuesday my breasts doubled in size. I started t hink ing about how none of my clothes would fit anymore and that, upon second glance, I looked a little bit like an out-of-work porn star. W ho was I tr ying to fool any way? I was embarrassed by my transgression. I, the girl who would never dream of surgical enhancement a nd who has a lways considered herself above the insecurity of such things, had br ief ly considered duping (and not well) the whole world
about my body. I felt that by buying the bra, I was admitting, advertising even, that I did not believe my body was good enough. After fighting for decades for s e x u a l f r e e dom a nd equality, women are taking c ont rol of t he w ay t he y present themselves. I believe whole-heartedly that this is a worthwhile cause. However, I do believe that there’s a fine line between a woman taking ownership of her body and objectifying herself. I hope that women have the confidence to embrace their bodies the way that they are without feeling the need to augment themselves for anyone else. There is not hing w rong with a little secret that helps you feel good about yourself, but trying to fit an unattain-
able mold is unnatural and unhealthy. I did not buy the bra, and I hope that this small act of confidence leads to greater change. Perhaps I w i l l have t he courage to buy a little black dress or a pair of scandalous shoes, all the while embracing my right to do so just as I am.

High hopes come with new basketball season By Sean Gorman Senior Staff Writer
One year removed from a 20-win campaign that ended with a Sun Belt Conference Tournament Semi-Finals loss, the UNT men’s basketball team begins the year with high expectations. The preseason projection favors the Mean Green, as the conference’s coaches unanimously picked it to win the Sun Belt Conference Western Division for the first time in school history. “The one thing I hope they learn this year is that each and every practice and game matter,” head coach Johnny Jones said. Returning all five of its starters, the team comes back
with more experience and talent than last year. “I’m not worried about the starting five at all,” Jones said. Leading the way down low for UNT will be forward Eric Tramiel, a sociology senior, who was selected to the All Sun Belt Preseason First Team after leading the Mean Green in points, rebounds, field goal percentage and free throw attempts. “Sure it’s nice to have the accolades after all of the hard work,” Tramiel said. “At the end of the day, my teammates deserve credit, too, for everything they’ve done for this team.” Strong perimeter play can be expected from the Mean Green as well, with Josh White, an applied arts and sciences junior, being added to the All Sun Belt
Preseason Second Team. White was second in the country in freethrow percentage last year, with his 90.2 percent from the line. “As a team, I think we can be even better from the line this year,” White said. After losing senior guards Adam McCoy and Collin Dennis, the UNT bench will be a key part to the Mean Green fulfilling the high expectations for this year. “Those guys will be missed but the new guys have been great filling in,” Jones said. Injuries have already plagued UNT as forward Kedrick Hogans, a sociology junior, is out for the season after needing shoulder surgery. Play begins Nov. 11 at 7 p.m. at the Super Pit against Newman University.

Mean Green football players to honor role models By Eric Johnson Senior Staff Writer
UNT will enter Fouts Field on Saturday focused, motivated and inspired, because the players will dedicate this game to the most influential people in their lives. This week begins head coach Todd Dodge’s new dedication week, what he hopes to become a yearly tradition. Every player was asked to identify the one person who had the biggest impact on his life and write a letter to them describing how much they have meant to them.

“My parents divorced when I was very young, and she was always there for me through everything. She did the singlemom thing and I know that was tough.”
“He introduced me to football, and he has always been there to support me and help me. We always went to Cowboy games when I was younger, and he really helped me.”
Brandon Akpunknu, sophomore defensive end
Dedicating this week to his mother. “She has always been my rock. She has been there for me no matter what and always supported me. She has never missed a game, and she is my heart.”
