SGA adds five senators, talks Twitter Town Hall JUSTIN BRIGHT Intern

The Student Government Association held its second meeting of the semester Wednesday night, electing five new senators representing four colleges. The new additions increased the senatorial ranks from 30 to 35 members. There are 10 remaining vacancies. “I can’t wait to get the remaining seats filled and really start kicking off the semester, so we can start getting real business done,” said Morgan Ray, speaker of the senate. T he newly-appoi nted senators were Justin Meeds and Carlee Niemeyer of the College of Arts and Sciences, Abiola Bakare of the College of Engineering, Susan Castro of the College of Business and Andrew Crosswhite of the Honors College.

Justin Meeds, newly-appointed senator for the College of Arts and Sciences, speaks before the Student Government Association on Wednesday. Tourism were filled, Niemeyer, a hospitality management freshman, was appointed at large. In order to be appointed, she had to obtain at least 100 signatures to run for a vacant College of Arts and Sciences seat. She collected 147 signatures in less than 48 hours. “It was really easy to go up to people. I felt like I was harassing them, but they were really nice,”

Niemeyer said. “A bunch of them wanted to know my spiel, like what I wanted to do, and so I gave them that, but it wasn’t really hard at all.” Christa Coffey, director of student activities, spoke to the senate in hopes of spreading awareness about her department.

Head football coach Dan McCa r ney a n nou nced t he official signing of 24 football recruits during Wednesday’s National Signing Day press c on f e r e n c e a t t h e U N T Athletic Center. Texas high school recruits make up 70 percent of the class. “We got better today, no doubt about it,” McCarney said. “I don‘t have any doubt that you’ll see some of these guys contribute in 2012.” The first call to sign came at 7 a.m. from Brad Horton of Liberty Christian High School

in Argyle, with the final call coming in around 10:15 a.m. from Connor Trussle of Martin Hig h School in A rling ton, McCarney said. “We’ve really known for the last 48 hours who was going to sign today. It was a matter of just officially and formally getting it done,” he said. Unlike last year’s class in wh ich t h ree qua r terback s w er e sig ne d, none w er e recruited for the 2012-2013 season. “Our starter coming back [redshirt sophomore Derek Thompson] still has two years, his back’s coming back for

three years,” McCarney said. “His backup is coming back for two years, and then we redshirted [freshman quarterback] Cooper Jones, who we still think has a lot of promise. It w ill be a rea l important priority next year.” This semester is the first for newly signed cornerback D.Q. Joh nson, who t ra nsfer red f rom Iowa Wester n Community College. Johnson, majoring in sports management, was the only member of the new class able to attend the press conference.

Over the past semester, faculty from various departments have been getting closeups by testing out new videorecording software which records lectures for students to review outside the classroom. The two programs being tested, Panopto and Tegrity, a re i nteg rated i nto t he Blackboard system and allow professors to incorporate anything from PowerPoint slides from a lecture to video of themselves lecturing. “With lectures being posted online, students don’t have to worry so much about taking notes and are able to interact more in t he classroom,” said Jane Himmel, associate director of the Center

for Learning Enhancement, Assessment and Redesign (CLEAR). CLEAR purchased a oneyear $15,000 license last fall for Panopto, which is being tested in about 12 classes this semester. The software was created at Carnegie Mellon University and is the fastestg row ing lect u re capt u re system in the world, according to the product’s website. “I think it would be a good idea to have this in all classes,” economics senior Terrence Clark said. “Even when you’re paying attention, it’s difficult to take the best notes possible.” Feat u res for st udent s include an outline of the class’s video lecture and the ability to thumb through specific sections of a lecture.

“If a student has a threehour class, t he y m a y on ly wa nt to re v ie w one specific JANE p a r t , ” HIMMEL H i m mel said. “Students can search by keyword and find points in the lecture where the topic is mentioned.” A lso purchased by the department was a six-month Tegrity subscription at a cost of $4,000. The software allows for students enrolled in classes currently using the software to access lectures through a Tegrity app for iPhones and Androids.

UNT partners with Department of Defense CAYDEE ENSEY Intern

Guido Verbeck and his team at the UNT Science Research Building are in search of chemical fingerprints left by materials ranging from illegal drugs to explosives. Helping them in this search is an instrument of Verbeck’s design: the nanomanipulator. Verbeck, assistant professor of chemistry, and his team have recently received a grant of more than $186,000 from the Department of Defense to develop the forensics tool. The instrument operates by use of joystick, which controls arms – known as nanopositioners – attached to a staging area. “The idea here is that the scientist can control the nanopositioners at such a slow speed that they can maneuver a small

glass needle containing a solution between the ridges of a fingerprint using the joystick to collect a chemical sample,” Verbeck said. “So when used for sample analysis, it is virtua lly nondestructive to the evidence.”

“...it is virtually

nondestructive to the evidence.” —Dr. Guido Verbeck, Assistant professor of chemistry Verbeck developed t he idea for the tool after hearing complaints about outdated technology.

“ Wa r f ig hter s w ere complaining about equipment they felt were missing and about problems that needed to be solved,” Verbeck said. “They were frustrated at the number of fingerprints they were picking up and had no way to confirm suspicions that whoever had left them was handling illicit drugs or explosives.” “The technolog y a iding t he forensics com mu n it y is stuck bet ween t he ’60s and ’80s,” Verbeck said. “In order to process the chemistry of what we find on and in certain evidence, we have previously had to destroy that evidence.” Now, the nanomanipulator is able to trace fingerprints back to an individual.

Rachel Wiley, research fellow and bio-chemistry senior, uses the nanomanipulator, a powerful forensics tool. Wiley is working closely with Dr. Guido Verbeck in the development of a smaller, portable version of the nanomanipulator for the Department of Defense. The smaller nanomanipulator “is important for quick transportation in the field,” Wiley said.

Verbeck Continued from Page 1

“There are lots benefits of the nanomanipulator,” said Rachel Wi ley, a biochemistry senior and member of Verbeck’s team. “Fingerprints are so specific to an individual, and if a drug is found in that print, depending on the amount, that person was probably handling the drug.” With the nanomanipulator, investigators will be able to trace illegal drugs back to the creator.

There were only two posit ive f lu te st s i n Denton County in January compared to the 106 cases in January 2011, according to the UNT Student Health and Wellness Center. “At this point the strains seem to be a close match w it h t he pred ict ions, but the numbers usually peak in February,” said Dr. Herschel Voorhees, medical director and interim director of the UN T St udent Hea lt h a nd Wellness Center. The vaccination the UNT SHWC administered in the fa l l was a combinat ion to prevent H1N1, H3N2 a nd Inf luenza B. “The flu shot is the best way to protect yourself, but not 100 perfect,” said Juan Rodriguez, chief epidemiologist of the Denton Cou nt y Hea lt h Depa r t ment. “It depend s on severa l factors,,such as geog raphica l location a nd your immune system, but your safest option is to get the vaccination, especially if you’re at greater risk.”

The SGA also discussed an upcoming Twitter Town Hall hosted by Abigail Glavy, the SGA director of public relations. The format will ref lect a July 2011 town hall presented by the White House and will center around six main topics: student service fees, parking, dining, a potential smoking ban,

bicycle safety and plans for a new student union. “It’s the best opportunity for students to come talk to us about issues we can help them fix,” Glavy said. S G A P r e s i d e nt B l a k e Windham and Vice President Edwin Chavez will be on hand to answer questions submitted

through Twitter, Facebook and from those in attendance. The event will be held Feb. 6 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the One O’Clock Lounge and will be streamed live by North Texas Television for those unable to attend. The SGA will meet again next Wednesday, Feb. 8.

Himmel said. “We find that the students who are going to class will continue to go to class.” For those faculty members who are still skeptical there is the option of delaying lecture postings until the week before a test, Himmel said. Some professors testing the software enjoy it for its flexibility. “There are 120 students in a regular finance core class and

there’s always something that’s happening in one of their lives that keeps them from being in class on a particular day,” said James Conover, professor in the college of business. “It’s very good for them to see a video to catch up with class.” Though faculty and student feedback on both programs has been positive, CLEAR will need to gain funding in order to make either Panopto or Tegrity readily

available campus-wide in future semesters. “We presented to t he Information Technology Council on campus last month, but they don’t have a budget,” Himmel said.

Two Texas missionaries found slain ME X ICO CI T Y (A P) — A m i s s ion a r y c ouple f r om Tex a s were sla i n i n t hei r home outside the violenceplagued northern industrial cit y of Monterey, t he U.S. Embassy a nd t heir fa mi ly said Wednesday. The embassy identified the couple as John and Wanda Casias. Valerie A lirez, the eldest child of John Casias, told The Associated Press f rom her home in Greeley, Colorado, that one of her brothers found her fat her and stepmot her Tuesday dead in their home in Santiago, Nuevo Leon. The family was originally f rom A ma r i l lo, Texas, but relatives said John and Wanda Casias moved to Mexico in the late 1970s or early 1980s and made it their home. John Casias was a Baptist

preacher, and the couple ran t he Fi rst Fu nda ment a l ist Independent Baptist Church in Santiago, Alirez said. Her brother, Shawn Casias, who lives in Monterrey, said he went to his parents’ home a round 4 p.m. Tuesday to pick up a trailer. After he had hooked up the trailer outside he went into the home to say goodbye. He said he found Wanda Casias lying on the f loor with an electrical cord around her neck and a gash from a blunt object on her head. Missing f rom t he house were a couple of computers, a plasma television and a safe that had been chiseled out of the wall. T he couple’s C hev rolet Suburban was also missing, a nd Shaw n Casias sa id he initially thought his father

had been kidnapped. But about four or five hours later, he said, a forensic investigator informed him that his father’s body had been found in a storage room of a small building on the property. His father also had an electrical cord around his neck. Shaw n Ca sia s sa id h i s sister-in-law in Da llas had s p ok en t o t hei r mot her around 11 a.m. Tuesday and ever ything was fine. So he believes there was about a five-hour window when the killings could have occurred before he showed up. He said the killers did not take everything they could have, leaving two of the three T V sets. He sa id perhaps t hey were wa rned t hat he was coming, because anyone watching the winding road approaching the home could

have alerted them. “They’re scum. They’re not sophisticated,” he said. Joh n Casias was 76. He had recently priced a knee r epl ac ement b e c au s e he couldn’t walk more than 100 yards (100 meters) without having to sit down, Shawn Casias said. Wanda Casias was 67. The couple maintained a website, www.casias.org, with details of their lives and their missionary work. It was the second slaying involving American missionaries in a year in the Mexican region bordering Texas. In Januar y 2011, a Texas couple who had been doing missionary work in Mexico for three decades were attacked at an illegal roadblock in one of the country’s most violent areas.

UNT alumnus Wade Colwell chisels a sandstone block Wednesday at his home studio.

Colwill said he enjoys the physicality of sculpting and the connection that forms bet ween a person and the actual object. With hand chiseling, the scu lptor ach ieves g reater control and can better finesse the material. Colwill said he felt more of a bond with his work when chiseling by hand rather than using drills or saws. “Wit h scu lpt i ng, you’re con nec ted to t he for m,” Colwill said. “But with other a r t, l i ke pa i nt i ng, you’re disconnected because you’re using a brush.” Working with power tools can be effective for removing la rge chun k s of mater ia l, but involves an element of risk, said Chris Engebretson, sculptor and studio art graduate student. “You have to be careful, because the stone can break in its weak spots,” Engebretson said. “If you hit a weak spot, t hen t he whole t hing ca n break in half.” In addition to his limestone sculptures, Colwill has also experimented with woodcutting and fabric, sometimes using wires and circuitry in his work.

UNT Orchestra readies for big performances Olmar Vanegas Intern

After a hiatus of almost 10 years, the UNT Symphony Orchestra will return to the prestigious Texas Music Educators Association Convention in San Antonio on Feb. 10 to perform with the best that Texas has to offer. Before t he 80-member orchestra departs for San A ntonio, t hey w ill give a preview performance Saturday at Winspea r Ha l l in t he Murchison Performing Arts Center, playing with the UNT Concert Orchestra for the first time. Maestro David Itkin, director of orchestral studies, w ill conduct for the first time. Itkin said he wanted to challenge students by playing pieces that are usually too difficult for a university orchestra. “I wanted to ma ke t he program broad, spectacularly

unique,” Itkin said. The 70-minute program will include Claude Debussy’s “Trois Noctures,” played by the Concert Orchestra and directed by Clay Couturiaux, assistant director of orchestral studies. Saturday’s program will also feature three selections played by the Symphony Orchestra: Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto (mvt. I), Strauss’ “Don Juan” and Adams’ “Short Ride in a Fast Machine.” Couturiaux said the Debussy piece was especially challenging, both stylistically and technically, but that UNT’s orchestra had managed to perfect playing it in the time provided. Debussy’s “Trois Noctures” is divided into three movements, which will comprise the opening orchestra: Nuages, Fetes and Sirenes, performed in collaboration with the women of the chamber choir.

Nicole Ayala, a performance sophomore and soprano in the choir, praised Chamber Choir director Richard Sparks for helping direct what she said would be a wonderful performance. “Dr. Sparks and the Chamber Choir women have worked very hard with the time we’ve had, and we are sure it will be a stunning collaboration—we feel thrilled to be singing for such a talented group,” Ayala said. Strauss’ “Don Juan” will be the second piece performed by the Symphony Orchestra. “The opportunity to play Don Juan is valuable because it’s a big audition piece for so many instruments,” said Annika Donnen, a performance graduate student and principal viola player in the orchestra. The Symphony will end the show with Adams’ “Short Ride in a Fast Machine,” described by performers as a crowd favorite

WNBA star inspires students with life story A shley Grant Intern

Indiana Fever forward and 2011 WNBA MVP Tamika Catchings spoke to students Wednesday about her life growing up hearingimpaired and her struggle to achieve her lifetime goal: playing professional basketball. UNT invited Catchings in honor of National Girls and Women in Sports Day, and about 30 fans and admirers gathered in the dimly lit Golden Suite. Dressed in a black Nike track jacket and sweatpants, Catchings narrated a slideshow that highlighted some of her most notable achievements such as playing on the 2004 Summer Olympic team, which won a gold medal. Catchings said childhood issues with her hearing and speech

motivated her to succeed. “I always got made fun of in school,” she said. “Whether it was my big hearing aid, my braces, my glasses or the way I talked.” Despite the relentless teasing from her peers, she worked hard to reach her ultimate goal, although she never lost her desire to fit in. C a t c h i n g s , a f or m e r Duncanville High School student, stopped wearing her hearing aids in third grade. It wasn’t until her freshman year at the University of Tennessee, when head coach Pat Summitt sat her down for a discussion, that Catchings began wearing her hearing aids again. “Summitt wanted me to be an example for so many young kids facing the same problem,” she said. “She helped me see

that I could be a role model for others.” After that meeting, Catchings said she decided she wasn’t going to let having a hearing impairment stop her from making her dreams come true. More than 10 years later, she was voted one of the top 15 players in WNBA history. Muhammed Saliu, a pre-engineering sophomore, has been a fan of Catchings for about eight years and said that she is his favorite player in the WNBA. “I was actually supposed to be at work, but I called in sick,” Saliu said. “I was in bed last night thinking about this and was so excited.” Catchings is currently making moves on and off the court. She does motivational speaking in

cities around the country, and in 2004 c r e a t e d t he C atch T he St a r s Foundation, w h i c h TAMIKA p r o v i d e s CATCHINGS academic and sports related programs for at-risk youth. Cherita Cunningham, an undecided freshman, described Catchings as a positive role model who is honest about her life and career. “She decided not to let her disability affect her negatively,” Cunningham said. “It’s a part of who she is, she doesn’t shy away from it and she doesn’t let it stop her.”

Mean Green welcomes division leading Blue Raiders Men’s Basketball BRETT M EDEIROS Senior Staff Writer

With another opportunity to ta ke hold of f irst place in the Sun Belt Conference West Division, the UNT men’s basketball team will welcome the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders (20-3, 9-0) to the Super Pit. This will be the first and only meeting bet ween the two teams during the regular season. The Blue Raiders are the No. 47 team in the nation

7 p.m. tonight at the Super Pit

while the next closest Sun Belt team, Denver, is No. 89, 42 spots behind. The Mean Green (13-9, 6-3) is No. 194 in the nation. “Yeah, they have a good team, but we’re just worried about us t houg h,” sen ior guard Tyler Hall said. “When the game comes, we have to go out there and execute and have some fun.” T he toug hest opponent MTSU has faced this season is No. 26 Vanderbilt on Jan. 28 in an 84-77 loss. Middle Tennessee is one of just five teams in the nation to crack

UNT vs. University of Louisiana at Monroe

Player to watch: Freshman forward Tony Mitchell Mitchell has been absolutely dominant this season, with averages of 15.6 points per game and 9.5 rebounds per game. After falling victim to foul trouble against LouisianaLafayette last week, he responded with a 21-point, 15-rebound effort against Arkansas State. If he has another big game, UNT could pull off the upset.

X-Factor: The Mean Green Offense If UNT is going to beat a team as good as Middle Tennessee, it cannot get stagnant on offense. That means not relying completely on Tony Mitchell or on three-pointers. MTSU boasts the best defense in the SBC, so swinging the ball around to everybody is essential.

Last Meeting: MTSU 78, NT 71 The last time these two teams met up was last season when MTSU knocked off the Mean Green 78-71 in Murfreesboro, Tenn. Despite a comeback led by Josh White, UNT couldn’t overcome a 13-point halftime deficit. The loss snapped a six-game UNT winning streak.

the 20-win mark. The Sun Beltleading Blue Raiders are off to their best record in school history. “They are a very talented team, and we’ll have to just play really solid on both ends of t he court,” head coach Johnny Jones said. “They have a lot of weapons, and we have to take care of the basketball.” The Blue Raiders have the No. 1 defense in the Sun Belt, holding conference opponents to 54.2 points per game. MTSU is one of the worst free throw shooting teams in the conference, shooting just 65 percent from the line. However, UNT’s offense is the best in the Sun Belt, averaging 74.2 points per game in nine conference games, mea n i ng t h i s ga me w i l l match up the conference’s best offense against its best defense. “Their record speaks for itself, Middle Tennessee is a great basketball team,” junior guard Roger Franklin said. “Being able to play in front of our fans will be an edge for us, but when it’s all said and done, I think it’s really going to come down to playing for 40 minutes straight.” UNT will also welcome the current SBC Player of the Week, MTSU redshirt senior forward LaRon Dendy. Dendy’s honor prevented UNT f resh ma n forward Tony Mitchell from being the first player to win the award four consecutive times. The two teams will tip off at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Super Pit.

Aston aims for 100th career win Women’s Basketball Z ACH CLAUSSEN Staff Writer

UNT women’s basketball head coach Karen Aston will be looking for her 100th career win as the Mean Green take on defending Sun Belt Conference champions Middle Tennessee State University on Thursday. The milestone win won’t come easy for Aston and the Mean Green (13-9, 6-3) as the Blue Raiders, winners of 11 straight games, visit the Super Pit for the first time since 2009. “We have to be highly, highly competitive,” Aston said. “They’re a competitive team and they play hard every possession.” The Mean Green will try to continue their climb to the top of the Sun Belt West Conference standings and hand MTSU their first conference loss of the season. A major factor in the game will be UNT’s ability to handle the full-court pressure from Middle Tennessee. MTSU’s (17-5, 9-0) press is forcing 22.4 turnovers per game, and the offense is averaging a Sun Beltleading 66.5 points per game. Aston believes the Mean Green’s tough early season schedule, which included games against Texas, Alabama, and Oregon State, will help the team handle the press in

Thursday’s matchup. “[Playing those teams] does help, because you can make some comparisons between Middle Tennessee and those other teams,” Aston said. “We’re going to turn it over with this team; I think that’s a given, but we’ve done a pretty good job as far as preparation.” UNT will also have to be wary of MTSU sophomore forward Ebony Rowe and junior guard Kortni Jones. Rowe averages 17.7 points per game in conference play, and Jones averages 17.6 points per game. Overa ll, t he pair ranks third and sixth, respectively, in points scored per game in the Sun Belt. “We have to handle their pressure, play our game, box out and rebound,” junior forward Jasmine Godbolt said. Home cou r t adva ntage should also give the UNT women an extra morale boost as they look to improve on their 4-1 home conference record and earn coach Aston her 100th career win. “I think [the win] means a lot to us, ‘cause she’s our coach and she’s come here and made a huge difference,” Godbolt said. “I think we’ll be excited just like she will.” In addition to the possibility of Aston’s 100th victory, Godbolt is just five points from reaching 1,000 career points. The game tips off at 5 p.m. Thursday at the Super Pit.

Mean Green Trivia The UNT women’s basketball team can make history when it hosts Middle Tennessee on Thursday, as head coach Karen Aston and junior forward Jasmine Godbolt are each in striking distance of a career milestone. What are the career records that the pair could break Thursday? Answer: Godbolt is five points away from her 1000th career point and Aston is one win away from her 100th career victory.

Guard embraces leadership role in sophomore season Profile ZACH CLAUSSEN Staff Writer

It’s a crisp, sunny Denton afternoon. The wind blows a plastic shopping bag across the staircase, which leads to one of the largest buildings on campus. Upon entering the Super Pit, there is almost complete silence. Sometimes, the loudest noise comes from the 5-foot-7 Laura McCoy. Her voice carries, and fills the 200,492 square foot Super Pit with life, passion and dedication. “I have never coached a player that worked as hard as Laura did day in and day out,” said Sherika Nelson, McCoy’s head basketball coach at Flower Mound High School. “She does whatever it takes to get the job done. She pushes her teammates to be the best players they can be and refuses to lose.” McCoy was born in Michigan before moving to Flower Mound at four years old. The love of basketball was inherited from her older sister, Julianne, whom McCoy would watch play. “My older sister started playing when she was younger, and I copied everything she did,” McCoy said. “I’ve loved playing ever since I was in third grade.” With great effort comes great success, and McCoy’s accolades prove that. As a high school junior, McCoy was named Most Valuable Player

of the Flower Mound team and was also selected as the District 6-5A Offensive Player of the Year. Currently, she is the Jaguar’s all-time leader in scoring and assists. “I’m just really competitive,” McCoy said. “[Basketball] is just something that I’ve always done, and I like getting better at it. I like the fact that it’s a team sport,

“I have never coached a player that worked as hard as Laura did ...” —Sherika Nelson McCoy’s high school coach and I think it teaches you about life too.” McCoy chose to continue her basketball career at UNT and hasn’t looked back since. “At the time [high school senior year], I really loved the coaching staff. I loved the school and it was close to home,” she said. In her freshman season with the Mean Green, the sharpshooting point guard played in 29 games while becoming acclimated to the difference between high school and college basketball. This season, McCoy has taken over the reins of the women’s

basketball team and has become one of the best floor generals in the Sun Belt Conference. The sophomore’s work ethic was instilled in her by her mom, Carol. “I really look up to my mother, she’s a really good person,” McCoy said. “She handles herself really well. She’s sincere and trustworthy. She really means a lot to me.” Besides being one of the more vocal players on the team and a high-profile athlete on the court, McCoy, a business major, has been labeled by her peers as “bubbly” and “someone who loves to laugh.” “I think she has a silly side to her that I’m not real aware of yet,” said Karen Aston, UNT women’s basketball head coach. “I see players giggling [at practice], and I think she’s the instigator.” If she wasn’t playing college basketball, McCoy says she would be a full-time student and have a job to help get her through college. “You always know what you are going to get out of Laura,” Nelson said. “One day, her senior year, I was up at school working late [10 pm.], and she was shooting. She had been in the gym for at least three hours, and I went by on my way out and said ‘Laura, it’s time to go home!’” “Laura replied, ‘Coach, I still got to make 100 more free throws to get to 1,000!’” Practice makes perfect.

State of men’s basketball team Opinion BRETT MEDEIROS Senior Staff Writer

At what point does a team have to give everything it’s got? Is it when it’s down one run in the bottom of the ninth in Game Seven of the World Series? Is it when it’s behind by five points in the Super Bowl with two minutes left, and the ball is within its own ten-yard line? How about a game out of first place in its division with seven games remaining in the schedule and two of its top scorers unable to play? That last example is the exact situation that UNT men’s basketball finds itself in. Since losing freshmen guards Chris Jones and Jordan Williams because of academic ineligibility, the Mean Green is 2-1, not including an exhibition game demolishing of Huston-Tillotson. By no means is that record a viable representation of where this team is heading without Jones and Williams, but if one thing is for sure it’s that the entire

roster will have to work overtime to keep the team afloat. In last week’s game against the Louisiana-Lafayette Rajun’ Cajuns, UNT showed the first signs of wear on a team that just lost two of its starters. Freshman Tony Mitchell, now the heart of the Mean Green’s offense, played only 17 minutes instead of the usual 30-plus because of early foul trouble. ULL defeated UNT because they attacked its strength, which also happens to be its weakness. Mitchell is a dominating presence in the post on both sides of the ball. He is also very aggressive in his play, playing above the rim in any situation and looking to play the part of NBA superstar Dwight Howard and swat away anything in his vicinity. ULL took advantage of his disruptive defensive play and forced him to commit pointless fouls, sending Mitchell to the bench to avoid fouling out of the game. In doing so, the Cajuns took the well-deserved victory. Look for sophomore guard Alzee Williams and junior guard Brandan Walton to really break

Brett Medeiros out and make a name for themselves in these next seven-plus games. Don’t rule out senior forward Kedrick Hogans, who just came back from a knee injury, to provide solid minutes in relief of Mitchell as Hogans works his way back into the starting lineup. I’ve got no idea how this season is going to end for UNT. I don’t think anyone does because of how tumultuous the last few weeks have been. All I can say is that the road to the Sun Belt Conference Tournament final is going to be much more difficult than last year. If there is any team that needs all 12 active players to exceed their expectations, it’s the Mean Green.

Blackboard transition went ignored Many who have attended college in the past decade have likely experienced some form of frustrating web experience. For years, Blackboard was the source of such headaches, with constant web-outages and inconsistent site performance, but now UNT has begun a transition to its new Learn system. While UNT deciding to move away from the old Blackboard is a good thing, the university’s execution of the transition was poor. UNT administration didn’t do anything to publicize the transition. Most students weren’t aware of the new platform until the first week of

school. If teachers hadn’t used the new system, students still wouldn’t know about it. The main problem with the two Blackboard sites is the lack of consistency between classes. Many students have voiced complaints about having to access the old Blackboard site for several classes, and the new Learn site for others. A key reason for online access to academic information is convenience, and the current system lacks that. As a further result of this poor communication, in some cases both Learn and Blackboard weren’t available for the first couple weeks of class,

meaning there was nowhere to find important syllabus information or interact within the class. Early on in the semester, many professors didn’t know if they were going to be using the old Blackboard platform or the new Learn platform for their classes. That means that during the crucial first week, while administrators sorted out logistics, communication between students and professors suffered. That kind of impact on learning is unacceptable, especially when the university had a month to work out the kinks and let the students know. Today’s college generation is

familiar with the digital world in all of its forms. That means they’re also likely to exhibit a different degree of technical awareness. When Blackboard won’t allow a student to properly place an assignment in Dropbox, they’re going to know it’s a network problem, not user error. Similarly, when a dataheavy website like UNT.edu doesn’t have a streamlined interface, people are going to notice. As paying clients, students should see their money being re-invested in a positive and helpful manner. Learn isn’t a bad investment, but the way UNT has handled this digital transition is sloppy at best.

Pro Bowl needs to be changed or eliminated The Pro Bowl sucks. There, I said what a lot of other people have been thinking for years. Those thoughts were reaffirmed Sunday when the NFC and AFC superstars of the NFL “competed” in the league’s version of an all-star game in Honolulu, Hawaii. In comparison to the other allstar games from the “big three” major league sports (NBA, NFL, MLB), the Pro Bowl just seems unable to hold its own. The NFL’s yearly trip to Honolulu consists of just the one game. To be blunt—it’s simply not enough. There used to be a skills competition that would be played before the game, involving quarterbacks throwing, punting and running drills, but it got axed in 2007 for unknown reasons. Now the game is a joke to even the most hardcore of football fans –myself included– who want a last chance to see a few of their team’s players on the field before the “dark ages” of the offseason. The lack of theatrics is a problem, but t he rea l stor y here is the minimal effort put forth by the professionals. Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers called out his NFC teammates after the game, saying in an interview with ESPN that their effort was “embarrassing.” I can vouch for that as someone who watched the game. The defense just stood there and didn’t pursue the quarterback or make many attempts to tackle. The fans paid to see a

game, not a group of professional athletes jogging around the field like they didn’t want to be there. I understand the worry about injuries and other things that make the rules of the Pro Bowl different and try and keep it from being too physical, but to not even show effort and completely dispense with the illusion that it can be compared to an actual game is just absurd. These men are paid millions of dollars to do things even the most ambitious of people can only fantasize about, they are gifted with their physical talents and size, but it is shameful to the most popular sport in the country when they basically give a middle finger to their adoring fans by walking around the field like they don’t care. The NFL needs to figure out how to make people care about this game, or just get rid of it.

Legalization of marijuana an easy decision For those who are apathetic to politics, marijuana legalization seems like a relatively unimportant issue. Yet, according to a recent Gallup poll, fifty percent of the population supports the full legalization of marijuana use. This isn’t just medical marijuana for patients going through chemotherapy or people with multiple sclerosis. This is full-blown, smoking-pot-in-front-ofa-Drug-Enforcement-Administrationofficer’s-face kind of legalization. A new public relations move by President Barack Obama known as the “YouTube Forum” further highlights the problem. The YouTube forum gives citizens the opportunity to submit their personal questions in a forum, and in a democratic fashion the president is supposed to answer the most popular questions. Surprisingly, the master orator and his dozens of political advisors refused to answer one of the most popular questions because it was “inappropriate.” The National Organization for the Reformed Marijuana Law asked, “With over 850,000 Americans arrested in 2010 on marijuana charges alone, and tens of billions of tax dollars being spent locking up marijuana users, isn’t it time to regulate and tax marijuana?” I don’t understand what is so inappropriate. Our federal government is crippled by debt because of irresponsible spending, nation building, special interest, lobbying and an economic crisis that continues to frighten our nation into lethargy. But we can’t muster the resolution to legalize a

thriving industry? We can’t stop prosecuting users and wasting tax dollars on people trying to bust a chill after work? If we legalized and regulated the marijuana industry, the black market would dissolve instantly. It would take money out of the hands of criminals and put money into the hands of citizens. Isn’t this an easy decision that everyone would support? This would be an act of reducing the size of government, creating more jobs and bringing in more tax dollars without tax hikes. It would also reduce the teenage marijuana use rate, because a licensed clerk is less likely to sell to a minor than homeboy down the street I would like to challenge you to do some independent research, find a counterargument and email me. This issue is not going away, and the argument that “more people will drive stoned” is simply not good enough.
