Wildfires can occur because of increases in dry, hot weather,

With public education funding set to bear the brunt of lawmakers’ efforts to slash a $27 billion deficit, the job search for UNT’s aspiring teachers might soon become more difficult. Early estimates predict that as many as 100,000 teachers could be laid off and many more could face salary reductions.

President V. Lane Rawlins speaks with Daniel Cave, a computer science junior, about the proposed 2.8 percent tuition increase near the One O’Clock Lounge. has increased by more than 400 percent since he began going to school ten years ago. He told Rawlins he now fears that the lack of financial aid will keep underprivileged students out of school. Rawlins enforced the universit y’s commitment to t he students and faculty throughout the hearing, and those in attendance thanked him for his time and transparency, but some fought back tears when handed the microphone to ask the president how they will face mounting debt. “I don’t think that students and teachers can tighten our belts anymore,” said Liz Clinton, an anthropology junior. Most acknowledged that the Texas Legislature is the authority ultimately accountable for the cuts, but some students ventured to ask how higher-paid faculty members will shoulder the burden. Rawlins agreed to give back
a “sizable amount” of his salary to UNT scholarships. Some UNT officials, including Rawlins, have made trips to Austin to express dissatisfaction with the education cuts directly to the legislators. The Student Government Association is there today to represent UNT and present its concerns. Clinton announced plans for UNT students to join the “Save Texas Schools March and Rally,” which will take place in Austin March 12. Thousands are expected to rally outside the capitol to support better education initiatives in Texas, Clinton said. Beginning Fall 2011, UNT could face anywhere from $4 million to $10 million in funding cuts from the Legislature. Rawlins said the full extent of these cuts will be felt if UNT maintains its current enrollment and tuition rate. UNT’s budget for next year is $287 million without the cuts.
university officials organize each situation, communicate with one another, work with external departments like the Denton Fire Department, and resolve emergency situations.

Education cuts target teachers BY TAYLOR JACKSON
BY DREW GAINES A public hearing was held Tuesday to offer students, faculty and staff an opportunity to directly address administrators with concerns over UNT’s proposed tuition increase. About 75 people attended the hearing held in the University Union’s One O’Clock Lounge. After explaining the forces driving next year’s proposed 2.8 percent tuition increase, President V. Lane Rawlins gave time for attendees to ask questions. Annalisa Vargas, a history and biology senior, was one of 10 people who spoke at the meeting. She asked Rawlins why cuts are being made and tuition increased when the university is funding construction of a new stadium, business building and parking garage. Rawlins’ response remained the same for a few of the students’ questions. He said increasing enrollment by a few thousand dollars next year and expanding facilities are signs of growth that generate money back to the university, and therefore offset some of the budget cuts. “This place is full. We need some room for expansion,” Rawlins said in reference to the increased faculty and facility demands. The tuition increase would cost students an additional $118 per 15 semester credit hours and is expected to generate more than $6 million needed for additional faculty, financial aid, maintenance and building costs. Other students asked for more representation on issues concerning UNT’s budget. Daniel Cave, a computer science junior, said that tuition

“It’s not clear yet how much of an impact it will have. We have to wait to see how much of a cut the L eg islat u re w i l l ma ke,” UNT’s College of Education Dean Jerry Thomas said. Graduat i ng educat ion seniors and most elementa r y educat ion students at UNT and ot her Texas colleges might be greatly affected by the cuts, but, Thomas said, there are still education jobs available. “Fields like science, math, ESL and special education will still have great need for teachers,” Thomas said. Those students focusing on seconda r y educat ion might have an easier time finding a job, because their f ields are more specif ic, and class size in elementary schools might go up to save money.
Before t he budget cut talks began, UNT was experiencing a 6 percent increase in undergraduates because teaching was considered a safe field. UNT certified 11,000 teachers last year, more than any other Texas university. “The good things about education is that schools a lmost a lways need teachers,” Thomas said. UNT education students are required to get f ield ex perience a nd of f icia ls said they worry complications may arise in getting students into classrooms if the number of teaching jobs dwindles. “At this point, we haven’t seen an impact, but if the trend continues for a year or two, then we might worry,” said Tim Sutton, the director of clinical experience for the College of Education. UNT places students in 27 different school districts a rou nd t he Da l la s-For t Worth area. Classes that are electives such as art, music and tech classes will get cut first in the smaller d ist r ic t s, so placement might be harder for students wanting to teach them. Some st udent s a ren’t worried about the budget cuts. “I’m not [worried] because I’m a science teacher and there’s a need for science a n d m a t h t e a c h e r s ,” said biolog y senior Cole Wilkinson. He sa id he’s con sidering graduate school after teaching for a couple years but isn’t wor r ied about finding a job or getting his job cut.

Late-night snacks prevent sleep

A recent studies show that what people eat during typical evening hours could affect the amount and quality of sleep they get. Eating large evening meals or enjoy i ng suga r y, fat t y snacks before bed can keep the digestive system churning longer, as well as cause spikes and falls in blood sugar, said Jannon Fuchs of the biology faculty. All the while, the brain is not producing the melatonin and serotonin it needs to fall asleep. Melaton i n, made by a sma l l g la nd i n t he bra i n called the pineal gland, is a hormone that affects sleep and wake cycles. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps relay messages to the brain in relation to sleep, memory and social behavior. “Levels of melatonin are very high at night in darkness, compared to levels in the day and/or in light,” Fuchs said. “Both melatonin and sero-

tonin enhance sleep.” Ot her t ha n get t i ng t he recommended seven to eight hours of sleep ever y night, there are a few things people can do to enhance their sleep cycle, said Sherif Al-Farra, the director of sleep medicine in the UNT Health Science Center. “Early morning exercise and light exposure, especially to sunlight, can promote evening melatonin production and help regulate the circadian rhythm,” said Al-Farra. College students often reach for late night snacks while studying or when up late, but Al-Farra said there are healthy alternatives for the few foods
students should avoid. A l-Fa rra suggested laten ig ht-snacker s reach for light snacks, dairy products or carbohydrates. Proteins, foods rich in sugar and stimulants such as caffeine should be avoided. He said people should avoid heavy meals at least three to four hours before going to bed. Radio, television and film junior Eitwanda Moore said that while studying late in Kerr Hall, she has a tendency to snack. Moore said she typically eats carbohydrate-rich foods like pasta, salads, pizza and tater tots. “It puts me to sleep quickly,” Moore said.

If a wildfire were to occur at UNT, Tapia said the Denton Fire Department would take the lead. The fire department alerts UNT Risk Management Services when a fire occurs on UNT property, and they either respond with the fire department or monitor the scene, depending on the nature of the call. Tommy Jones, the emergency services manager at UNT, especially warns people to be careful when using the fire pits or barbeque grills provided at residence halls. “Be sure the wind is not blowing too hard and monitor
that fire, and be sure that fire is out before you leave it,” Jones said. “Don’t ever take the coals out of the fire and put [them] in the dumpster until they’re cool and extinguished and you’ve put water on them. You don’t want to set the dumpster on fire.” Jones said in addition to personal prevention, knowing how to react to a fire is equally important. He said to call 911, get away from the fire and do not try to put it out, and most importantly, report it. “If you see something, say somet hing,” Tapia added.

Community works for garden project together Residential lot to transform into garden By K aylah Baca Intern
In the latest initiative for a greener campus, students, faculty and staff members are working on plans to turn an unused portion of the residential parking lot off West Mulberry Street into a community garden. The project has already gained support from the Student Government Association, but in order to move into the construction phase, a feasibility report must be submitted to and approved by the Capital Projects Council in the office of UNT President V. Lane Rawlins. “We’ve had really good support from the administration, but there is still some red tape to cross,� said Michael Bales, the main student coordinator for the project. Ba les, a watercolor senior, ca lled t he project “Greenspaces.� He said it has been one of the largest movements for a community garden at UNT, and he hopes to have the garden started by the end of the spring semester. Bales said he is trying to find outside funding and businesses willing to donate materials. Students passionate about the going-green movement have begun to sign up to volunteer, Bales said. Faculty members from various departments have expressed interest in becoming involved with the planning and construction of the garden, he said. T he ga rden’s proposed features will build around the area’s current Heritage Trees — trees that have been around for so long that the university decided they cannot be removed, Bales said.

UNT Bass club fishes to make a comeback on campus By Daisy silos Staff Writer
This semester, a group of nine students are attempting to attract new members to join the UNT Bass Fishing Club in hopes of making the club as successful as it was in the past. After a year of being inactive, the team has scheduled meetings at 7 p.m. on the last Fridays of each month at College Inn. The organization’s next meeting is on March 25. “In the past, there were some pretty successful people in the
club,� said Patrick Pulvino, the tournament director of the club and an economics junior. “After they graduated, it fizzled down, but we’re trying to get it back up this year.� The basic equipment needed to fish consists of a fishing pole with a fishing rod and a tackle, Pulvino said. The Denton Bass Fishing Club supplies the team with gear. Fishing equipment can range from $20 to $1,500, said William Cartwright, the president of
the club and a mechanical and energy engineering senior. “There’s really no limit on the price of fishing. It’s more of a personal endeavor,� Pulvino said. In the next couple of weeks, the group will set up a booth to and get more students to join, said Josh Caldwell, the vice president and a mechanical and energy engineering senior. “There is no experience needed to join,� he said. “We a ll get a long well and are willing to help out anyone
who’s interested.� Caldwell said this is his first semester in the club and he has fished since he was 2 years old. “It’s a big part of my life,� he said. “It takes time and discipline, but it’s also a fun activity to get away from the regular college life.� Jen n i fer Bush, a cr i minal justice freshman, said she enjoys fishing and was unawa re UNT had a bass club. “Everyone needs a club for

Designers exhibit bark cloth BY ASHLEY-CRYSTAL FIRSTLEY Staff Writer
The idea of using bark cloth as an art medium would seem unusual to some students and staff, but to Lesli Robertson of the art studio faculty, it became a project. Robertson, the founder of the Ugandan Bark Cloth Project, is curating a new exhibition titled “Material Evolution: Uganda Bark Cloth” from 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday through Saturday in the UNT Art Building now until March 26. “I think what’s interesting is that it’s very sustainable,” Robertson said. “The tree doesn’t die, so you can use it [for] 30-40 years.” Robertson said the bark cloth is a renewable source. The bark is stripped from the mutaba trees of Uganda, Africa, and pounded instead of woven to create a cloth with visible fibers, she said.
The exhibition features more than 20 creative works, such as artistic designs and functional usage of bark cloth such as shoes and purses. Six international designers, including German designer Oliver Heintz and Ugandan designer Mary Barongo-Heintz are featured at the exhibition, Robertson said. Manipulation techniques The pieces feature manipulation techniques such as dyeing, bleaching, Sibori and felting, Robertson said. Delaney Smith, a fiber graduate student, said she never used bark cloth until she attended a workshop where she tried the Sibori technique. Smith said Sibori is a Japanese process that uses folding as a resist, by putting stitches in the cloth and then pulling the strings. “I think any new material is fun to experiment with, just to

Barongo-Heintz and Heintz said they both have worked with bark cloth since 1990. Heintz said they are supporting the exhibition. “Since the textural age will come to an end sooner or later, we need to look for materials which can substitute. That’s where we see the future of [bark cloth],” Heintz said. “Students are the future as well.”

Laughing in the face of danger is hard to do when people find themselves in eyeopening scenarios. Welcome to t he Rea lit y House: Spring Break Edition, hosted by t he Universit y Program Council. The event sheds light on potential dangers during students’ break. With the help of 10 volunteers, at 7 p.m. today, the Eagle Silver Suite will transform into an interactive reality haunted house to stress the importance of spring break safety. “What we want to do is make students aware of things that could impact their lives while they’re on spring break,” said Brittani Wilkins, a strategic communications junior and the vice president of UPC promotions. The Rea lit y House was named UNT’s top program of the year in 2009, Wilkins said. Entering its fourth semester, the event began with an original haunted house idea and has since stemmed into different themes, she said. The topics are centralized around students’ v ulnerability to things such as robbery, drunk driving, drug abuse and kidnapping, said Alex CormierHill, a marketing senior and
Hosting a haunting Welcome to Reality Time: 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Date: Today Place: Silver Eagle Suite in the Union the vice president of UPC Hot Topics. “It’s one of the more candid and innovative events that UNT [has],” she said. “Reality House puts a different spin on how to relate the information to students.” An interactive museum On the first floor, students interested in the haunted house can sign up, then divide into groups of 10 to 15 people and are led by a tour guide to the third floor, Cormier-Hill said. The Eagle Silver Suite will divide into three sections, each featuring a video clip of a particular situation. Then, two volunteers from other campus organizations will act out a scene related to the video clip, she said. The audience will have an opportunity to read the characters’ biographies before the monologue piece, Cormier-Hill said. “I know it might be a little
unsettling,” she said. “But at the end of day, if you’re on spring break and you can identify one of those situations before it happens and it stops you from getting hurt, then we’ve done our job as a council.” UN T Deput y Ch ief Ed Reynolds said that although campus activity is slow during spring break, safety presentations are offered through the prevention office. “I would advise all [students] to pay special attention to warnings that have been issued by the state department about travel to other countries,” Reynolds said. Cormier-Hill said she asked resource places such as the Health and Wellness Center, Friends of the Family and Mothers Against Drunk Driving to participate in the program. Members from the organizations will be available after the program for students who seek help or just want more information, she said.

The Mean Green’s closed the regular season on a season-high 10-game losing streak. “It’s very frustrating, especially when we know we’re a good team, but we just can’t pull it out,”

UNT hosts Oklahoma Tenth straight defeat ends regular season BY DONNIE PIPES Intern
The UNT softball team has never beaten the Oklahoma Sooners in 19 tries, but will have another chance when it hosts the Sooners at 6 p.m.. Wednesday at Lovelace Stadium in Denton. “It’s never intimidating,” said head coach T.J. Hubbard. “The girls get up for these games. They get focused.” Matchup history During its 19 straight losses to the Sooners, the Mean Green has been outscored 139-29. “I’ve never played Oklahoma before,” sa id ju n ior f i rst baseman Maddelyn Fraley. “S o t he y a ren’t i nt i m i-

BY BOBBY LEWIS
Senior Staff Writer Tuesday’s game was meaningless for the UNT women’s basketball team and its opponent UALR in the standings, but the Mean Green ended the regular season the same way most of its games have ended: with a loss. Coming into the game, UNT was locked into the sixth spot in the West Division and UALR had clinched the West Division title and a bye in the first round of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament. The Mean Green (5-24, 2-14) struggled on offense again, while the Trojans (20-7, 14-2) had four players in double figures in the 59-46 win. The loss marked the fourth consecutive game where UNT scored less than 50 points. “One of our goals is to hold people under 60, but obviously to be successful, we have to score more than 60,” said head coach Shanice Stephens. “Generally, if you keep somebody under 60 and you score at a pretty good clip, you should be successful. It just wasn’t that way tonight.” UNT’s only lead came in the first
•
The loss is UNT’s ninth straight to UALR
•
UNT shot 53.8 percent from the free-throw line
•
Only three UNT players scored more than four points
Kellum said. “We’ve just got to keep pushing through and keep believing.” The Mean Green will come back to Denton for a few days before returning to Arkansas for the Sun Belt Conference Tournament in Hot Springs March 5. UNT will face Western Kentucky in the first round on Saturday. “I’m still encouraged because [UALR] is the No. 1 team in the league, and we just had some shortfalls tonight that you can’t have against them,” Stephens said. “But still, a 13-point loss on the road here kind of still gives you a little bit of hope.”

College tuition is expensive enough
Nods and Shakes Editorial Nod: UNT administration maintains transparency V. Lane Rawlins and his administration have done well promoting and maintaining transparency since he took over as UNT president last year. Rawlins showed his desire to get student input about the potential tuition increase at the public hearing Tuesday in the University Union One O’Clock Lounge and his appearance at the Student Senate meeting Monday. The Editorial Board commends the administration for its honesty and Rawlins for his willingness to talk to students who disagree with his vision of what the university needs. Shake: Perry calls Juarez an American city Gov. Rick Perry got his geography mixed up Monday while he was in Washington, D.C., to meet with President Barack Obama and the nation’s other governors. He called Juarez, “the most dangerous city in America.” Although Juarez is in North America, we’re pretty sure that’s not what he meant. Perry has accused the federal government of mishandling everything from the economy to education to border security. He also listed border security as one of his seven initiatives. However, he didn’t realize that Juarez is across the Rio Grande from El Paso in Mexico until an aide let him know. Texas may be a big state, but the governor should still be able to keep track of what major cities lay on the U.S. side of the border, especially ones in the “most dangerous” areas. Nod: Christian Dior fires offensive designer Making anti-Semitic comments is inexcusable. Making anti-Semitic comments when a Jewish woman appears in advertisements for the company you work for is idiotic — especially if they are caught on video. Christian Dior announced Tuesday that he is firing John Galliano, who had been accused of praising Adolf Hitler. His announcement came after Natalie Portman, who says she is proud of being Jewish, spoke out against Galliano. The remarks were made at a Paris restaurant last year, according to CNN. Galliano made other anti-Semitic comments before the recent incident, the same article said. Seeing Dior, a well-respected designer, fire another designer for being disrespectful gives hope for human decency. Shake: London 2012 Olympic logo causes turmoil Finally the Editorial Board can agree with Iran on something, but not for the same reasons. The symbol for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London is confusing at best and tumultuous at worst. The blocky numbers have elicited a boycott of the summer games by Iran, whose leaders see Zion instead of 2012. The Editorial Board doesn’t see it. The design, first made available in 2007, looks like it’s something pitiful stolen from the ‘80s instead of a symbol of the modern games. At least the angular design gave Iran a creative reason to avoid participating in the Olympics.

TALK
I’ve been at UNT for a few years. I’ve heard a lot of the sa me a rg uments over a nd over since I got here, without any real substantial proof or change. I swear I’m not going to talk about parking. Instead, I’d l i ke to ta l k a b out t u it ion i nc r e a s e s, something constantly justif ied by a n administ rat ion unwilling to consider alternatives and supported by proxy in the past by student organizations such as the Student Government Association and now, unfortunately, the Daily Editorial Board. I support the Board’s right to express its opinion, but in t his case, its support is grossly misplaced. Since tuition deregulation in 2003, when Texas legislators gave the power of tuition control to an unelected board of regents at each university, tuition has spira led out of control in this state. That’s not necessarily the fault of the administration
at UNT, but t hose administrators have hardly done a ny t h i ng to f ig ht for t he return of control to a democratically elected body. W hy wou ld t hey? T hey dictate when tuition rises, then use the excuse that we must remain “competitive.” That is, we must spend money to make money. Firstly, much of the UNT com mu n it y i s conv i nced that if we continuously raise tuition to pay for more and more projects, we’ll suddenly be granted the magical Tier One status. To them, it is a golden egglaying goose that allows them to get whatever t hey want passed whenever they please. Don’t like it? Oh, well then I guess you don’t want to be a Tier One school, do you? S e c ond l y, b e c au s e t he federal government has done little to increase aid for those who can’t afford college (Pell grants have become a joke when compared to currency inf lation, not even consid-
ering tuition inf lation), UNT is risking lowering its possible talent pool even further by making college even harder to afford. The average college student in this country graduates with $24,000 in debt, an absurd amount, and the UNT administ rat ion for some reason feels as though the burden upon the students is not high enough. I don’t expect our president, who makes $410,000 a year, to truly understand the load he and the rest of the administration are putting on each student, but I sincerely hope he learns about it soon. As students, we must challenge the UNT administrat ion to just if y t heir sa laries by f inding new ways for our university to progress without placing an even higher burden on students, which has been t he go-to solut ion for a l most ever y problem since 2003. I, for one, a m t i red of hea r i ng ou r supposed
“leader s” g r udg i ng ly-yetenthusiastically calling for higher tuition year after year, without any true added value attached to the degrees we receive. I encourage a ll students to joi n i n t h is cha l lenge, and perhaps we can find a way together through these fiscally rough times.

Lies about Israel hurt its people, safety You have perhaps hea rd various claims about Israel a nd t he Midd le East f rom news sources, friends, maybe even professors. At times, it might be hard to d i st i ng u i s h l ie s f r om reality. But aside from a lot of the political claims, there a re some aspects of Israel t hat you don’t of ten hea r mentioned. Here are a few of them. Israel has one of the leading f lourishing economies in the world. They have invented, i nvested a nd empowered the economic status of oil, gas, technology and medical innovation. A d d it ion a l l y, I s r a e l i s t he leader of sola r energ y technolog y. The amount of gross domestic product that Israel spends on research and development is profou nd. T h is resea rch a nd development ha s le d to t hei r i nvent ion of cel l phones, computer processors a nd anti-virus software, and also has enabled their continued research on biomedical and environmental innovations — all this while continuing
to r u n a democrat ic state a midst consta nt de-leg it imization from surrounding Arab countries and organizations. Like America, Israel values freedom and human rights. Israel is t he on ly M idd le Eastern country that allows women to t ravel a lone without a male companion. Forty-five percent of women a re in t he work force, a nd they have laws that protect women a nd homosex ua ls from discrimination. Compa re t his to Israel’s neighboring countries, where women can be beaten, lashed and even stoned, and where homosex ua ls a re k i l led or forced to leave the country. T he idea t hat Israel i s c om m it t i ng apa r t heid i s simply false. The reality is Pa lestine is under its ow n authority. W hy wou ld Israel have offered land and peace agreements five times in the last centur y if it was tr y ing to re-create t he apa r t heid of South Africa? There are 56 Muslim countries in the world. There is
one Jewish countr y, Israel, a nd it is about t he size of New Hampshire. It is the only democracy in the Middle East, a nd its ex istence is under constant threat from Iran and the terrorist organizations Hamas and Hezbollah. Why have so many turned away f rom a cou nt r y t hat is robust in so many areas? W hy have so many university professors turned to the teaching of a nt i-Semit ism in forms of de-legitimization, double standards and demonization? Israel is not without faults and not all decisions in the past have been good ones, but please indicate a time to me where every single American supported the choices of the United States. So I don’t claim perfection for Israel, nor do I for America, but as I do in the cou nt r y t hat I i n habit, I cla i m t he sa me r ig hts of peace a nd l iber t y t hat I admire so highly. There are many legitimate reasons why the support of Israel as a state is endorsed. The reality of Israel should
fa r out weig h a ny l ie. We continue on toward achieving peace in the Middle East, but we also know that many will continue to believe the lies of terrorists as an attempt to somehow undermine the reality of Israel. I w r ite t h i s not at a n attempt to degrade any other state, nation or government, but to claim the rights and state the facts that most don’t know about Israel.

Spandex suit, dance moves launch Green Mann to campus celebrity BY R EBEKAH MONSON MCT
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — It’s not easy being Green Mann. The uniform — a head-totoe, form-fitting green spandex bodysuit — exposes every nook and cranny of one’s physique. It takes hours to choreograph the routines, learn dance moves and execute flips. And every now and then, someone still doesn’t get the joke. “Yeah, I’ve had a beer or two thrown on me, but I’ve also had a few pretty girls kiss me on the cheek when I’m in the suit,” said Michael Buonaiuto, a 20-yearold Florida Atlantic University student whose green-suited, dancing character is a campus sensation. “I’m basically an unofficial mascot of FAU.”
In less than six months, Buonaiuto’s Green Mann has earned more than 4,000 Facebook friends, more than 3,000 YouTube views, and countless high-fives and smiles from his classmates. One fan even made T-shirts: “Long Live Green Mann.” A few of Green Mann’s stunts have run afoul of campus police, said FAU Deputy Chief Keith Totten. He was caught dancing in a restricted electrical tunnel and interrupting a class, and was referred to the dean of students, Totten said. “Since he’s had his meeting with the dean of students, everything has been fine, though,” Totten said. “He does have quite a following, and we don’t want to take that away from him.”

‘Curly’ commands UNT on and off the field Softball star leaves mark behind home plate By BoBBy Lewis
Senior Staff Writer Most of Caitlin Grimes’ teammates don’t know her first name. “They hear somebody say ‘Caitlin’ and they’re like, ‘Who’s Caitlin?’” she said. It’s not because of a lack of production on the field or blending into the crowd of her 21 teammates. It’s because Grimes has been known as Curly for as long as she can remember.
“I try to be as encouraging as I can to all my teammates as often as I can be.”
—Caitlin Grimes, Junior catcher
Her tea m mates sta r ted calling her Curly because of her hair and it’s stuck with the Arcadia, Calif., native. “I actually don’t normally call her Curly. I call her Cait,” said her mother, Sylvia Grimes. “She was named Curly by her teammates when she was about 10 years old.

said head coach T.J. Hubbard. “She’s not afraid to improve on her game.” A s t he tea m’s sta r t i ng catcher, Caitlin Grimes is expected to be one of the team’s vocal leaders. She lives up to that expectation on and off the field. “I definitely talk a lot,” she said. “I try to be as encouraging as I can to all my team-
mates as often as I can be.” Caitlin Grimes’ relationship with the team’s pitchers was at the forefront last season, as UNT posted a 2.35 ERA, the lowest in school history. “Both of the catchers, you have different relationships with them as a pitcher,” said sophomore pitcher Brittany Simmons. “You get to know them in a different sense, so

you can just look at each other and you can kind of read each other’s thoughts.” Her big play on the field has only been matched by her big personality off it. “She’s just always been like that,” Sylvia Grimes said. “Even as a little girl, she was funny, she was entertaining. You know, what you see is what you get.”
