Bus services offer students alternative rides home BEN PEYTON Intern

The crowds that accompanied the 35 Denton music festival last weekend led the UNT Police Department to ma ke si x a lcohol-related arrests.

UNT students can avoid those risks through late night transportation services such as Safe Ride and e-ride, which offer rides home for UNT students and the Denton community.

“Leaving your car somewhere and having to go back in the morning to get a safe ride home is an easy decision,” said Emerson Park, co-president of Safe Ride operations.

Safe Ride takes about 60 people home each night of

operation and offers services such as a “Candy Cab” game for passengers, according to Park and Safe Ride co-president Danyelle Graves.

The “Ca ndy Cab” ga me is similar to the Discovery Channel’s “Cash Cab” game show in which contestants can win Dum Dum suckers for correctly answering trivia questions.

More than 90 percent of the calls Safe Ride receives are from UNT students, according to Park and Graves.

Safe Ride is available by phone T hu rsday t h roug h Saturday from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m., whenever UNT is open.

Inv isible Children Inc. became the focus at the Student Government Association meeting Tuesday night, as members discussed br ing ing its co-founder Bobby Bailey to speak at UN T a s pa r t of UN T’s Dist i ng u ished L ect u res Series.

The group has been the SGA’s official charity for three years but has been draw n into cont roversy recently due to criticism from numerous organizations regarding the misuse of its funds and its campaign entitled KONY 2012. The campaign targets an indicted Uga nda n wa r cr i m i na l named Joseph Kony. Its first video, uploaded on YouTube March 5, has reached more than 78 million views as of Wednesday night.

SG A P resident Bla ke Windham said if Bailey agreed to speak, he’d hope to bring Bailey to UNT as soon as April.

“We haven’t shied away from controversy in the past,” Windham said. “Controversy allows people to debate and engage in discussion.”

Several senators expressed concern over the controversy surrounding the charity and paying Bailey to speak at the campus, while others welcomed t he oppor tunity.

“I personally don’t think we should have him come here,” Senator Precious Fem i-Og u nyem sa id.

“Granted, Invisible Children is a great organization, but there might be a lot of vocal people who a re aga inst bringing him.”

Director of Recreational Sports Sue Delmark thanked SGA for making the Pohl Recreation Center possible.

“The original referendum started here several years ago and was built in 2003, so you were the reason we have it,” Delmark said.

After the meeting, Delmark revealed future improvements to the center including more lockers, water fountains and flat screen televisions installed above treadmills.

Project to be voted on after break A SHLEY ROSE Intern

A decision on the approval of three students’ project to place two solar panels on the roof of McConnell Hall will be made by the subcommittee of the “We Mean Green Fund” when it meets after spring break.

Texas Academy of Mat h and Science juniors Amanda Quay a nd A lec Bu r ma n ia and TAMS sophomore Alex Pr ybutok came together to work on the project last fall after Quay began planning it last summer. The group submitted its first proposal in October.

“Sometimes I have to wait in the parking lot, and it’s dark and it’s scary,” history and studio art freshman Hailey Britton said.

E-ride acts as a bus-style escort service for students anywhere on campus, according to Ginny Griffin, associate director of parking and transportation services.

E-ride is only available to UNT students and travels to the UNT campus, Discovery Park and Victory Hall.

Kinesiology freshman Alex Miller uses the e-ride system three times a week.

“I live in Victory and I would be stranded without it.”

E-ride driver Will Mathis, a radio, television and film sophomore, said e-ride receives more calls for service on weekdays.

“About every 5 to 10 minutes I make a stop; on Saturdays it’s a lot less frequent. It might be 30 minutes between each call,” Mathis said.

Safe Ride and e-ride will not be available during spring break.

Balloons, cake, look at new Union featured at fest LEIGH DANIELS Staff Writer

Food, freebies and fun lured students, faculty and administration into the Union on Wednesday to celebrate 64 years of university unions.

Vendors including Coke, Bet h Ma r ie’s Ice Crea m, Odwalla and Frito Lay filled the halls of the Union, handing out food and beverage samples while balloon artists twisted up f loat able f r iend s a nd caricature artists captured smiling faces.

A 100-squa re-foot ca ke bearing a huge graphic of the proposed new student Union sat on six pushed-together tables while thousands filed into the Union throughout the day.

“This year is the biggest Union Fest we’ve ever done, with more vendors, giveaways and free stuff than we’ve ever had,” Union Director Zane Reif said.

Reif said that Union Fest is held each year as a celebration of student unions, the go-to campus hangouts.

“The Union is the only place on campus students can truly call their own,” he said.

Reif sa id t he Universit y Union has been prov iding prog ra ms a nd ser v ices to students since 1964 and has become a place of comfort and community.

International studies senior Alonso Salas argues against a tuition increase for a new Union with kinesiology senior Taylor Bailey during Union Fest on Wednesday in the One O’Clock Lounge. “Where are the posters of the people that are against the tuition increase?” Salas asked, adding that the increase would eventually lead to more tuition swells. “For the people that are struggling, they can maybe find a new job in the Union, a beacon that you bring people to,” Bailey said. ica nt piece of h istor y i n higher education,” Reif said.

“Essent ia l ly t hey were a gathering point for students to debate t he i s s ue s of

There has been plenty of debate surrounding the Union recent ly, w it h d iscussion focusing on the master plan

for a proposed new student u n ion a nd t he i ncrea sed Union fee that would accompany it. Architects presented desig ns at t he fest iv it ies

Wednesday.

If approved by the student body, the Union student fee, which is currently $51, would increase by as much as $115

per semester beginning in fall 2014. Students will have the opportunity to vote for or against t his fee April 2 through 6 by visiting w w w. sga.unt.edu.

Although the theme of this year’s Union Fest focused on the new Union Master Plan, students seemed to enjoy themselves celebrating the Union they already know.

Pre-radio, television and film sophomore Taylor Dilger heard about the event through t he Un iversit y ’s posts on Facebook.

“I came for the snow cones, free food and cake, of course,” Dilger said.

The fest also included DJs spi n n i ng songs f rom t he Union rooftop and concluded with a performance by comedian Jarrod Harris at 7 p.m.

Pre-psychology freshman Jordan Larson enjoyed the cha nce to socia l i ze w it h fellow students.

“I think it’s pretty awesome that we can get everyone into one place at one time,” Larson said.

After the vote on the fee is completed in April, students might only have one more chance to celebrate in the old Union, Reif said.

Whether it is the old Union or the new Union, Reif said students would always have a place at UNT to call their own.

Kurt Weihe, an academic technician II at the UNT Machine Shop, uses a 3-Axic CNC Milling Machine to craft a stainless steel flange for a vacuum system Tuesday afternoon. “There’s always something different every day. Nothing we make is [mass] production,” Weihe said.

Machine shop builds equipment for UNT BRITTNI BARNETT Senior Staff Writer

Inside an unassuming brick building off West Mulberry Street, a 5,632-square-foot space holds an array of hulking machines with various levers, buttons and switches, as well as metal sheets, rods, pipes, tools, work tables and even a rolling chalkboard.

UNT’s University Machine Shop was established in the early 1960s to build specialty equipment and instruments for the physics department.

Kurt Weihe, a former machine shop super visor for Texas Instruments, has worked at the shop for seven years. He is one of two employees who handle about 250 to 300 work orders a year.

“Students work in the labs, and they will come across a situation where they need something mechanical that most likely cannot be purchased out of a catalog,” Weihe said. “If they have a unique experiment, we have to build their instruments so they can do their experiment.”

The UNT Department of Physics funds the shop, but Weihe said they get orders from other departments and schools

across campus, including chemistry, biology, engineering, material sciences and facilities. These departments are charged $35 an hour for labor, Weihe said.

When writing grants, chemistry professor Guido Verbeck allots several thousand dollars a year to pay for the department’s many machine projects.

“It’s still cheaper than going somewhere else,” Verbeck said.

“Those guys are so good over there. Plus, whatever they make has a warranty for life, and they will replace it without charge.”

Projects can take anywhere from one to 100 hours to complete, Weihe said.

He said the shop’s most time-consuming project was the construction of about 800 locker-latching devices for the Pohl Recreation Center.

“Everything that comes in is different,” said Tracy Lynch, the shop’s other technician. “Very rarely do we have the same thing coming in. That’s what makes working down here so neat, every day is a new challenge.”

Recently, Lynch and Weihe worked on a Rubens’ tube, a device consisting of a metal pipe with about 100 holes drilled straight down one side.

A speaker is placed at one end of the pipe, and a container of gas is placed at the other. The gas is lit, and as the speaker emits sound — whether it’s a Journey song or orca calls – flames shoot out of the holes, creating a visual representation of a sound wave.

“This is the kind of work that I love to do,” Lynch said.

“It’s freelance metal fabrication, and it’s not the structured, rigid, production-type environment that most machinists work under. This gives you the opportunity to be creative and use your brain.”

Together, Weihe and Lynch have about 80 years of experience in the machinist industry.

Since coming to the shop, they have worked on everything from tiny fish containers and photographic equipment to telescope attachments.

“I don’t always understand what the professor or grad student is going to do with what I build them,” Lynch said. “They’re so far advanced in physics and chemistry I would never understand what they’re actually doing, but for me, parts are parts. It doesn’t matter if they go on an airplane or what.”

Mean Green opens 2012 outdoor season on road Track ZACH CLAUSSEN Staff Writer

After seven weeks of indoor competition, the UNT track and field team will compete in its first outdoor meet of the season when it heads to Fort Worth to compete in the TCU Invitational today.

The meet will feature student athletes from Baylor, Houston, Southern Methodist University, the University of Texas-Arlington, Texas State and its host, Texas Christian.

UNT will try to build on its strong performances from the Sun Belt Conference Indoor Championships, which saw the UNT women finish in second place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were only one point behind first place [in the SBC Indoor Championships], but I think we definitely have a good group and a good thing going,â&#x20AC;? junior high-jumper Ha ley Thompson sa id. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Compared to many others, we seem to be cheering each other on more and are more team-oriented.â&#x20AC;?

Head coach Carl Sheffield, who was named the Sun Belt Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Indoor Track Coach of the Year at the Indoor Championships, said the Mean Green needs to focus and work hard in order to be more successful during the outdoor season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am a big believer in training before competition,â&#x20AC;?

Sheffield said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need a chance to go back over how come we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do as well as we expected in indoor and fill in those gaps.â&#x20AC;?

The outdoor season means a few changes for the track and field team. Runners will now have to deal with the weather as opposed to the

Freshman forward Tony Mitchell greets fans before the Mean Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 76-64 win over Arkansas State on Jan 28 at the Super Pit. Mitchell was named a First-Team All-District selection by the National Association of Basketball on Wednesday.

Mitchell adds another honor Brief B OBBY L EWIS Sports Editor

U N T menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ba sketba l l freshman forward Tony Mitchell received his third postseason honor when he was named a First-Team All-District selection Wednesday.

Mitchell, who was named Sun Belt Conference Freshman

of the Year and was a firstteam all-conference selection, was named to the team by the National Association of Basketball.

The freshman joins reigning Sun Belt Player of the Year, Middle Tennessee redshirt senior forward LaRon Dendy, South Alabama sophomore forward Augustine Rubit, and Denver sophomore forward Chris Udofia and senior guard

Brian Stafford.

Mitchell was also named to the conference all-tournament team after the Mean Green lost to Western Kentucky 74-70 in the SBC Tournament Final last week.

Mitchell led the team in scoring and rebounds this season, with 14.7 per game and 10.3 per game, respectively.

His 70 blocks broke the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s single-season record.

American fans finally getting into real football Opinion ZACH CLAUSSEN Staff Writer

Picture this. You and a bunch of friends are gathered at a house, bar or maybe even a pub. There are snacks and cold beverages aplenty as the colors red, white and blue adorn the walls and clothing of your fellow American comrades.

The person next to you called in sick to work but has never been healthier in their life.

They wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss this for anything.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the summer of 2014 and the beginning of the World Cup. Football is one of the fastest growing sports in America.

No, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not talking about the sport with the leather pigskin, where you gather with family to watch the Dallas Cowboys or the Detroit Lions play on Thanksgiving.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m talking about the game that is played 99 percent of the time with the playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; feet and not their hands.

We, as Americans, are too stubborn to actually call soccer by its proper name because of our elitist attitude towards our beloved National Football League. I am a huge NFL fan, but the fact that the sport is called football is a bit laughable.

As many as six billion people participate in soccer through playing, coaching or watching.

Soccer is called â&#x20AC;&#x153;the beautiful gameâ&#x20AC;? for a reason. Scoring a

goal in a soccer match is poetry in motion. All one needs to play is a ball and two fictitious goal posts.

For those who are skeptical about soccerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popularit y, think about this: if you were to combine the total worldwide viewers from the 2011 and 2012 Super Bowls, about 328 million people, that number is only slightly higher than the total viewers of the 2011 Cha mpions Leag ue Fina l, featuring Manchester United and Barcelona.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;... Americans, are too stubborn to actually call soccer by its proper name...â&#x20AC;?

Both the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2010 World Cup and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2011 World Cup captured American audiences like few of its predecessors. This summer, the 2012 European Championship is sure to grab more American viewers than it did in 2008.

Popular European teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea and Manchester United are traveling over to America every summer to compete against Major League Soccer teams, and the MLS has expanded its amount of teams during the past two years.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We use our indoor events to improve our outdoor training.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Carl Sheffield Head coach, track and field neutral conditions the team experiences during indoor meets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What helps us outside is how we train for those events.

We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily train for indoor; we train for outdoor, and we fit indoor in,â&#x20AC;? said Sheffield. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We use our indoor events to improve our outdoor training.â&#x20AC;?

Every practice held by the UNT track and field team is held outside, which could give the Mean Green an advantage over its competitors at the TCU Invitational, senior sprinter Janesa Moore said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an indoor facility, outdoor is easier for us,â&#x20AC;? Moore said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Outdoor is what we train for.â&#x20AC;?

The TCU Invitational will be the Mean Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first meet since the team finished the SBC Indoor Championships on Feb. 26. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Outdoor season] is a whole new ball game,â&#x20AC;? Sheffield said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just trying to fill the gas tank back up.â&#x20AC;?

The two-day meet will begin at noon today with the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hammer throw at TCUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lowdon Track and Field Complex in Fort Worth.

Late struggles doom UNT

Zach Claussen article noted the number of youth soccer players in the United States has doubled to 4.04 million players since 1990, according to the United States Soccer Federation.

The same article stated the number of high school soccer players has more than doubled since 1990 to 730,106 athletes, the fastest growth rate among any major sport, according to statistics compiled by the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association.

The Dallas-Fort Worth area especially is a hotbed for soccer talent. The Dallas Cup is held every spring, and youth teams from around the world come to compete against the best youth teams in America.

In our lifetime soccer will probably never pass the popularity of the NFL or the National Basketball Association, but there is no doubt that the sport is gaining momentum.

Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Golf RYNE GANNOE Intern

Familiar issues haunted the Mean Green womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf team in the Dr. Donnis Thompson Invitational in Honolulu, Hawaii, on Wednesday as the team finished tied with Washington for seventh place out of 14 teams. The outcome is UNTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second consecutive seventh place finish.

The team hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had a topfive finish since the Mean Green finished third in the FIU Pat Bradley Invitational in October. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are struggling to find consistency,â&#x20AC;? head coach Jeff Mitchell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are also having trouble focusing on playing golf instead of worrying about the outcome of our shots.â&#x20AC;?

No. 22 Texas A&M, the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest ranked team, won the tournament by four strokes over No. 26 UC Davis, who was the tournament runnerup. The Aggies finished 33 strokes ahead of the Mean Green. The host team, Hawaii, finished the tournament in tenth place.

The teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 3 golfer, senior Jacey Chun, finished the tournament with a strong final round after a pair of lackluster spring tournament finishes.

After starting the second day in 40th place, Chun finished the Dr. Donnis Thompson Invitational tied for 18th. In the final round, she posted the Mean Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lowest round of the tournament, shooting 2-over par. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jacey had a good round today [Wednesday], and that is nice to see,â&#x20AC;? Mitchell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be working on staying positive and staying focused over the next few days.â&#x20AC;?

Sen ior Addison Long struggled in the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final round. After the first two rounds, Long JACEY sat at 9-over CHUN par, just nine strokes off the leader. She fell 16 spots in the final round, shooting a 12-over par, her worst round at the event.

Sophomore Chaslyn Chrismer finished the tournament in 25th place, two strokes behind Chun.

Freshman McKenzie Ralston and senior Kelsey Kipp ended the tournament tied for 54th.

The Mean Green wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much time to think about this tournament, as the team has its fastest turn around of the season.

UNT will travel to St. George, Utah, for the BYU at Entrada Classic on March 19.

Nationally televised game circled for Mean Green Football BLAKE MANFRE

Contributing Writer For the second time in school history, the Mean Green football team will be featured at home on ESPN or ESPN2 when it hosts Louisiana-Lafayette next season.

The nationally televised game will give UNT an opportunity to showcase not only the athletic department, but the university as a whole.

“It puts the entire university on a public stage and allows us to talk about some of the great programs the university has,” Senior Associate Athletic Director Eric Capper said.

The game is part of the Sun Belt Conference contract with ESPN and will be played on Tuesday, Oct. 16.

With the game being played in the middle of the week, the athletic department staff has already started planning with school administration in order to get as many people to the game

Mean Green Trivia In 21 starts this season, senior outfielder Megan Rupp has stolen four bases for the softball team, just one stolen base shy of matching her total from all of last season. She stole two bases in Sunday’s 11-4 loss to Louisiana-Lafayette, becoming the school’s all-time stolen base leader with 34. Who did she pass to become the leader?

Answer: She passed Mariza Martinez, who stole 33 bases during her UNT career from 2008 to 2011.

as possible.

“We are already working with administration to see how we will get students out on that night and if we will be able to move some classes,” Athletic Director Rick Villarreal said. “We want to show the country that it doesn’t matter what day we play. We have an opportunity to show how special this place really is.”

The only other time UNT has been featured at home on ESPN was when the Mean Green hosted Troy on ESPN2 at Fouts Field in 2005.

The Mean Green will try to avenge a 30-10 loss from last season against the Ragin’ Cajuns, who scored 17 points in the fourth quarter to close out the game.

ULL finished with a 9-4 record and went on to win the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl with a 32-30 victory against San Diego State in December.

“They [ULL] had more speed than we did last year, and we’re hoping that we’re closing that gap,” head coach Dan McCarney said. “Their speed was really impressive.”

This will also be the first time that Apogee Stadium, which will host the Mean Grenn for the second season in September, will be showcased to a national audience of this size.

The stadium can accommodate everything that national television needs, from proper lighting to the correct wiring, Capper said.

The matchup will be the only nationally televised game on that night.

“It’s an opportunity to talk about how we’re the 26th-largest university in the country,” Villarreal said. “A lot of people don’t look at us that way.”

UNT falls in extra innings Softball BRETT MEDEIROS Senior Staff Writer

It took 11 innings, but the UNT softball team (8-14) fell 2-1 to the No. 15 Baylor Bears (19-5) for the third time this season Wednesday.

The loss marks the third time in the last four games the Mean Green has taken a nationally ranked opponent into extra innings but failed to pull out the win.

“I don’t know what to tell you, honestly,” junior pitcher Brittany Simmons said. “We really just have to stay focused throughout the whole game, and I think this one really got away from us.”

Each of UNT’s losses against the Lady Bears this season has been decided by just one run.

The Mean Green has won just one of its four extra inning games this season.

Simmons pitched the entire game, surrendering just two runs on 10 hits with five strikeouts. The loss drops her record to 5-5 this season.

Simmons’ pitching kept the Mean Green in the game, as the offense struggled to give her run support. UNT also failed to score more than two runs in a loss for the tenth time this season.

Baylor outhit UNT 10-3 as the Mean Green struggled to take advantage of scoring opportunities throughout the game, leaving nine runners on base.

“It would be huge if our of fense cou ld match t he production that our pitching has created because our record would ref lect how good we have really been playing,” head coach T.J. Hubbard said. “The offense right now has been real hot and cold this season. It is definitely going to take some work to get more production

out of our hitters.”

UNT opened up the scoring in the second inning after Baylor’s sophomore pitcher Liz Paul walked in the Mean Green’s lone run. Baylor later tied the game in the sixth inning on a single by senior utility player Sydney Wilson.

A wild pitch by Simmons in the 11th inning moved a Baylor runner to third base before senior outfielder Kayce Walker singled in the winning run.

“Regardless of the loss, I think this game shows that this team can play at any level,” sophomore shortstop Brooke Foster said. “The games showed that Mean Green softball can be real competitive this year against any team.”

UNT will jump right back into conference play 2 p.m.

Saturday when the team begins a three-game series against the Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders with a doubleheader at Lovelace Stadium.

Staff Editorial

Dallas should regulate its boarding houses According to the New York Times, more than half of Americans will develop some kind of mental disorder at some point in their lives. With the prevalence of mental illness in our country, it’s surprising that boarding houses that care for the mentally ill go completely unregulated in the city of Dallas.

In 2007, a task force coordinated by the Dallas Police Department set out to locate and evaluate Dallas’ boarding houses.

Detailed in a Dallas Observer article from March 15, the conditions in the houses ranged from well-managed and clean to dirty, loud and chaotic. Some of the houses were squeezing as many as eight patients to a single room and

allowing the more lucid patients to assist with medicating and managing others.

The article states that over a period of 8 months, the task force interviewed 853 patients, of which 276 – about 1 in 3 – were found “at risk and in need of crisis assistance.”

This kind of mismanagement and lack of oversight falls directly on the shoulders of Dallas’ City Council.

Passed three years ago, House Bill 216 gives cities the direct power to regulate boarding houses, and as of today, Dallas still hasn’t used that authority to create standards, funding or any kind of regulation for its estimated 300 homes.

Regulation of boarding houses

would offer numerous benefits, both to those who live in the homes and to citizens that live around them.

Patients have the obvious benefit of being in a clean, hospitable environment so that they can recover from their illness successfully and eventually get back on their feet.

The city could also see benefits from better regulation. Victor Morrison, the deputy director of engineering and construction management in El Paso– the only city in Texas currently utilizing the bill – told the Dallas Observer that El Paso started registering homes with the city and regulating them because citizens were complaining about patients wandering the neighborhoods

around boarding houses. With the new regulations, it became easier for the city to monitor the homes, keep tabs on patients and ensure local citizens that patients weren’t being allowed to roam free while suffering from serious mental conditions.

These homes are necessary, helpful and often the only choice for our mentally ill. But if we truly care about fighting mental illness and getting help to those who need it, then the Dallas City Council must step up and put more effort into creating a system that ensures safe and clean boarding houses. Hopefully with Dallas’ action, other Texas cities will be encouraged to do the same.

Invisible Children campaign: Phony 2012 If you’re like me, then last Tuesday night you probably watched a video titled “Kony 2012” and were probably spurred by the movie to go take action.

Well, I wanted to take action, so I started to do some research. I thought I’d do a nice editorial in the paper and maybe spearhead an SGA program to help support Invisible Children. But as I dug deeper and began to learn more about Joseph Kony and the Lord’s Resistance Army, I realized that this wasn’t a fight I was willing to associate myself with. See, aside from the fact that Invisible Children’s finances are shady and they have a shoddy track record for actually helping, they believe that sending troops to help the Ugandan army is the best course of action. That’s where they’re wrong.

Joseph Kony and his army have been fighting the Ugandan government since 1987. The L.R.A. is accused of widespread human rights violations, including murder, abduction, mutilation and forcing children to participate in hostilities.

For all intents and purposes he is a bad man, but so are the people he’s fighting. “Kony 2012” completely fails to mention the brutality of the nations who fight against the L.R.A. Recently elected to his fourth term, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has been in power for more than 25 years. Human Rights Watch claims the Museveni administration engages in severe human rights abuses such as illegal detention, torture and even extrajudicial killings.

The much-circulated campaign subtly reinforces an idea that has been one of Africa’s biggest disasters: that well-meaning Westerners need to come in and fix their problems. It’s part of a long tradition of Western advocacy that has, for centuries, adopted

some form of “white man’s burden,” treating African people as cared for only to the extent that Westerners care, their problems solvable only to the extent that Westerners solve them and surely damned unless we can save them. It’s that kind of logic that lets limousine liberals oppose the war in Iraq but support military intervention in places like Syria and Uganda.

The sad part is, the Invisible Children campaign is working. As of March 13, a Joseph Kony resolution was brought before the House of Representatives. The resolution, introduced by Reps. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., and Ed Royce, R-Calif., calls for, among other things, expanding the number of regional forces in Africa to protect civilians and placing restrictions on individuals or governments found to be supporting Kony. This is the wrong course of action, as it will simply plunge us into another war based on false data and a dishonest government.

Sometimes, doing nothing is better than doing something.

Santorum woos voters with false idealism There is no escaping the thought that the Republican candidates, with the exception of Rep. Ron Paul, have quite repetitive proposals for economic growth, such as lowering the corporate income tax. Excluding Paul, not one candidate is suggesting spending cuts, the fundamental principle of the Tea Party movement that has now assimilated into the Republican ethos.

In any case, the economic policies of the president are fairly irrelevant, because he has absolutely no power to affect it without congressional approval. He merely represents the economic philosophy of his party.

The president’s main concern is with the power of commander in chief of the military, the line-item veto, and appointing justices and heads of departments. But what have been the mainstream Republican candidates’ foreign policy talking points? Pretty much “we are willing to bomb Iran.” This is a stupefying idea, because it has no real bearing.

America doesn’t want to start another war, and Iran doesn’t want to mess with Israel because that tattletale is friends with the strongest bully on the playground. It seems that the three countries are in a stalemate of “I’ll bomb you first” rhetoric, aimed to strike fear and obtuse patriotism in the minds of citizens.

More likely than not, it’s only political positioning that will never amount to full-blown military combat.

With former Sen. Rick Santorum’s unpredictable success in the primaries, we are allowed insight into the values of American voters. Santorum doesn’t stand out from the pack; he is a more socially conservative version of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, yet somehow more authentic. Former Speaker of the

House Newt Gingrich’s campaign is also monotonously similar, save his aggrandized promises and his consternation with “liberal media bias.” Santorum’s success is not because of policy making at all, but religious indoctrination of politics.

Rick Santorum stands out because he is a social conservative who is willing to stand up for what he believes in; apparently he believes that promoting education is snobbery, that gay people are an unnatural abomination, and that women are unable to make their own decisions about sex. Semantically, Santorum’s presentation implies that a large minority of American voters prefer his narrative of an American society.

An America soaked in Santorum ideology is an America proud of segregation by religion, sexuality and gender. The Constitution would be steeped in Santorum if voters elected a president who only believes in the first half of The Establishment Clause.

While these distinctions separate us in reality, our policy making need not add to the division.
