Firm discusses Union design NICOLE BALDERAS Senior Staff Writer

Lauren Smith votes with other students to make an amendment to the Union bill during the Student Government Association meeting Wednesday. The amendment would move the increase in the Union fee to 2014.

Representatives from the architect firm Perkins+Will spoke with about 30 students and staff Wednesday afternoon in the University Union’s Silver Eagle Suite, going over color renderings for the proposed Union renovations. The meeting occurred prior to the UNT Student Government Association’s evening meeting, during which it voted in favor of sending the proposed changes to a student vote April 2-6. The presentation included a digitized video illustrating the transformation from the current Union, as well as a chance for attendees to ask questions. “You won’t recognize the Union as the same building, but the bones will be the same,” said Jeffrey Stebar, student life

expert for Perkins+Will. “I think what you’ll see is the Union will accept more of the campus’s diversity than it does now.” The presentation focused mainly on the design aspects of the building renovations and spent little time on the cost of the project, which left some attendees eager for more specific information. “What’s available on the Master Plan website is not enough information,” said Denise Philpot, an applied technology and performance improvement doctoral student. “I support wholeheartedly their idea of a new and improved Union. I’d like to see a side-byside comparison. Give me the past floor plan and mark it up to show what’s different.”

Union fee proposal goes to student vote JUSTIN BRIGHT Staff Writer

The UNT Student G ov er n ment A s s o c i at ion voted 32-3 Wed nesday to approve a bill for a referendum concerning the building of a new University Union for students to vote on April 2-6. The proposed project would cost about $120 million. If

approved by t he st udent body, the Union student fee, which is currently $51, would increase by as much as $115 per semester beginning in fall 2014. “We tried to make a fair compromise between being f i s c a l l y r e s p on sible a nd having some money that could go to the Union,” said Senator

Adam Hasley, pre-radio, television and film sophomore and a co-author of the bill. “Now the majority of students paying for the Union [when the fee starts in 2014] w ill actually be able to use the facility.” The Union plans call for the destruction of the current Union and Stovall and Scoular

halls and construction of a la rger Union connected to t he Eagle Student Ser v ices Building. The project has an expected completion date of summer 2015.

Fashion design junior Ava Sharbaf expressed frustration about the lack of a long-term plan for her department, which is currently located in Scoular Hall.

Apple senior vice president Phil Schiller speaks during the introduction of the iPad 3 during a special event at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, California, on Wednesday, March 7, 2012. Apple releases its third-generation iPad just 25 months after starting the tablet-computing revolution.

Apple unveils updated iPad (MCT) SAN JOSE, Calif. – Apple unveiled the third generation of its popular iPad tablet computer Wednesday, with a host of upgraded features including 4G, or LTE, compatibility, a highresolution display and a quadcore processor far superior to competitors. In an event at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, Apple CEO Tim Cook and other executives announced the anticipated new gadget, along with two other offerings: a universal iPhoto app and a new Apple TV set-top box. The star of the show, however, was the new iPad, which was not christened with an official

name, as executives alternately referred to it as the third-generation iPad and the new iPad. The new iPad will start at $499 and cost up to $829 for the highest-end version and will be available for purchase in the United States on March 16. The iPad 2’s starting price will drop from $499 to $399. “When we set out to create the iPad, we set out to create a new category, the best device for doing the things you do most often, like browsing the web and checking email. It was a tall order, but iPad users tell us that’s exactly what we’ve done,� Cook said in the introduction to the new tablet. Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior

vice president of worldwide marketing, ran through the upgraded components of the new iPad, starting with a retina display, which was first introduced in the Cupertino, Calif., company’s iPhone 4 smartphone. “Until you see it, you can’t understand how amazing it is,� Schiller said. The display has a resolution of 2038x1536 pixels, giving it more than 3.1 million pixels, the most in history, Schiller said. The new iPad a lso has upgraded cameras with better sensors, a hybrid filter with backside illumination and the ability to shoot high-definition video. The new cameras will

provide “incredible detail and sharpness and auto face detection,� Schiller said. The fourth feature of the new iPad is voice dictation, which Schiller demonstrated to large rounds of applause from the audience. The new iPad will not include the voice-recognition system known as Siri, which has been popular on Apple newest iPhone iteration, the 4S. The last feature Apple detailed on the new iPad is perhaps the most desired from its hard-core fans: the ability to connect to the newest generation of mobile networks, known as long-term evolution, or LTE. The device can also be used as a mobile 4G hotspot, Schiller said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Marines will lead the U.S. troop drawdow n in A fg ha nista n t his year, reducing by about half their numbers in the key province of Helmand as Afghans move fully into the combat lead there, a top U.S. general said Wednesday. Helmand, which has seen some of the fiercest American and allied fighting over the past two years, is transitioning to Afghan control faster than most other Taliban-contested areas of the country. Yet to be seen is whether the Afghans will manage to stand on their own as the Americans thin out. Maj. Gen. Joh n Toola n, who has com ma nded t he U.S. Marine contingent in Helmand for the past year, told The Associated Press in

a phone interview from his Ca mp L eat her neck headqua r ters i n sout hwester n Afghanistan that the number of Marines is likely to shrink by 8,000-10,000 f rom t he current total of 17,500 by the end of September. That is the target date for the overall U.S. force in Afghanistan to drop to 68,000 from the current 90,000. To o l a n i s c o m p l e t i n g his A fghan assignment on Monday, to be succeeded by Maj. Gen. Charles Gurganus. He asserted that the Taliban have been greatly weakened in what has long been considered their heartland. To o l a n s a i d t h e t o p commander of U.S. and allied forces in Afghanistan, Marine Gen. John Allen, has not yet made final decisions on the

troop drawdown. His plan is expected to be final before P resident Ba r ack Oba ma meets with other NATO heads of government at a summit meeting in Chicago in May. The broad aim, established at NATO’s November 2010 summit, is to have Afghan forces fully responsible for security by the end of 2014, w ith the residua l U.S. and NATO military role yet to be fully defined. Between now and then, allied forces are shifting from combat into a “train-and-advise� mission. A s t he Ma r ines’ overa l l presence shrinks this year, the number of such teams will drop to about 30, he said. That will be enough to assist “a good portion� of — but not all — Afghan security units, he said.

Stephen Biddle, a defense a n a l y s t a t t h e C ou n c i l on Foreig n Relat ions a nd a n oc c a siona l v i sitor to A fg ha nista n, sa id he sees reason to wor r y t hat U.S. forces w ill be handing of f secu r it y responsibi l it y to Afghans this year even as the U.S. troop numbers shrink. The Taliban are likely to see this transition as an opportune time to launch “another wave of counterattacks� that will test the Afghans, Biddle said. “Lots of people view transition to Afghan security lead as an experiment, and there is a fair amount of uncertainty in a variety of corners about how well or badly it’s going to go,� he said. “I think it’s very, very likely that the Taliban will try to find out.�

Amy Simon, director of the UNT’s Center for Leadership and Service, walks with CLS members development and family studies senior Alyssa Dixon and speech language pathology junior Caitlin Easterling outside the Union on Tuesday. “I think part of our job is to be citizens and build community,” Simon said.

The call to volunteer BRITTNI BARNETT Senior Staff Writer

Amy Simon’s passion for service runs deep. As an undergraduate she found her calling working at a Michigan homeless shelter, inspiring her to spend several years with AmeriCorps, a federal program for national and community service, as well as the Congressional Hunger Center. That calling eventually led her to UNT, and Simon is now the director of the university’s Center for Leadership and Service, an office that empowers students to become engaged leaders in the global community. Formerly know n as the Volunteer Center, the CLS opened two and a half years ago when Simon joined the UNT community. “It’s been a long time since that homeless shelter,” Simon said. “I think that experience taught me the meaning of service and really about the relationships and the fact that anybody could walk through

“I volunteered to make some cinemagraphs for some of the bigger artists at 35 Denton,” painting and drawing junior Alice Won said. “I told them I’m a part of PDA, and they asked us to do the backdrops.” A total of three backdrops are being painted for the conference: two bearing this year’s 35 Denton logo and a third featuring a hipster Godzilla. The crew steps over landmines of wet paint as they search for tiny imperfections in the backdrop, mostly in the form of dead bugs which have now become part of the painting. “This whole thing has been called Twister,” painting and drawing senior Sloane Solley said. Used to painting mainly on canvas, the group had to adapt to the vinyl material the backdrop is made out of. And because regular paint won’t adhere properly, spray paint was sprayed into containers and then quickly used before it could dry. “You know how Saran wrap sticks to itself,” painting and drawing junior Caroline Irvin said. “This is a giant example of that.” The third painting, which will be featured on Main Stage 2, owes more to the creative efforts of the group led by Kevin Ryan. “Essentially it’s all about Denton, so I was trying to cater to the crowd,” Ryan said. “Everyone has the Denton beard, but I also think it’s funny that it’s a big hipster Godzilla engorged on the power of music and good times. That was kind of the idea behind it.” The backdrop features a

those doors and it was home. They could be accepted and they could get connected, and that just really spoke to me.” The CLS has grown significantly since its opening, said Kirsten Bishop, leadership coordinator for CLS. While the volunteer center helped connect students to service opportunities, the CLS allows students to develop and champion these causes, Bishop said. “I t hink t he difference between taking our office from a volunteer center to really and truly a center for leadership and service is we are able to engage students in a different way,” she said. “We’re not just asking students to fulfill a service requirement, but we’re teaching them how to be servant leaders. We’re teaching them how to make social change happen on campus and in the community.” The idea for the Big Event, a day of service attended by about 2,000 students last year, came from students, Bishop said. The CLS sponsors several

other events throughout the year, including CANstruction, which takes place Friday. More than 30 organizations will build structures with cans of food that will then be donated to the Denton Food Center. “I think as educated people it’s our responsibility to give back to the community,” said Sarah Amberson, higher education master’s student and graduate assistant for the CLS. “We provide connections for students who want to give back to the community, connections for students who want to meet other leaders so that they can really have a role at UNT.” The center helps the university engage the surrounding community, one of the points laid out in UNT’s four bold goals, Simon said. “I think part of our job is to be citizens and build community,” Simon said. “We provide that avenue for students to be able to do that.” For more information about the Center for Leadership and Service visit www.volunteer. unt.edu.

Banowetz is currently work i ng on a piece by Karl Weigl, who was also a victim of the Holocaust, which will be released in June. “Naturally, it is personally moving to record works by these two composers who were so crippled by the Nazi era,” Banowetz said. Banowetz said recording t he music of t hese

composers was one of t he most important things he has done. “Coupled w it h t his was hav ing t he opportunit y to present on a major international label, Naxos, the first recordings of these pieces,” he said. “This of course places a heavy responsibility on one, and I greatly felt this.” Banowetz’s other Grammy nomination was in 2007 for

Junior pitcher gets it Kirk keeps teams in done with groundballs check with strikeouts Profile

Simmons Stats

Profile

BRETT MEDEIROS

Simmons recorded the lowest earned run average (2.28) for a freshman in school history in 2010.

JOSHUA FRIEMEL

Being an efficient pitcher can mean many different things. To UNT junior pitcher Brittany Simmons, being an efficient pitcher doesn’t mean blow ing t he ba ll past the opposing batter. It means fooling the batter into hitting the pitch Simmons wants them to hit. “You know, I don’t really go up to Brittany and say, ‘This is all you’re going to do is ma ke groundballs,’” pitching coach Lisa Ferguson said. “I want her to strike out as many as she can, too, obviously, but pitchers that don’t strike out as many have to have to be more accurate.” Simmons was a marathon

She ranks second in UNT history in career earned run average (3.00).

W hile warming up in the bullpen before a game, you’ll probably see sophomore pitcher Ashley Kirk dancing or singing with sen ior catcher Ca it l i n “Curly” Grimes. In fact, Grimes said Kirk is “one of the bubbliest pitchers out there.” But once she gets in the pitcher’s circle, Kirk’s killer instincts kick in, and batters are routinely sent back to their dugout with bat in hand, hiding the shame of being yet another strikeout victim. During her first season on the team, Kirk became just the fourth pitcher in school history to record 100 strikeouts in a season, finishing with 158 on the year. This season, she’s struck out 42 batters in 36 innings, giving her an even 200 in her career. Junior pitcher Brittany Simmons has 142 strikeouts in three seasons at UNT. Kirk surpassed that in her first season. But if you ask Kirk, she doesn’t label herself as a strikeout pitcher. “When you do get the strikeout and make them look so, so [dumb], I love it,” she said. “But I don’t consider myself a strikeout pitcher.” K irk sa id she’s been labeled as such since she started pitching when she was 11 years old. Her natural ability to throw hard has always led to strikeouts. The first time through the lineup, Kirk says she makes mental notes of what pitches hitters swing at and where the batters are located in the hitter’s box. “It’s a double-edged sword,” Kirk said of facing opposing batters for a second t i me. “T hey ’ve seen me, but I also have the advantage of seeing them. I’ll remember what I threw to them and what they hit, so I can adjust to that.” To get the third and final strike, Kirk uses an array of her arsenal depending on the situation. She’ll turn to her changeup, riseball or curveball while trying to keeping the hitters off balance.

Senior Staff Writer

Simmons pitched 11 innings in a single game against CSU Bakersfield on Feb. 10, 2011, the second most in a single game in school history.

“Now batters are barely able to hit her past the pitcher’s mound.” —Caitlin Grimes Senior catcher pitcher for UNT last season, appearing in 38 games and a

Junior pitcher Brittany Simmons ranks in the top five in four pitching categories on the school’s all-time list. She leads the team with five wins this season.

team-leading 187.1 innings pitched w ith 16 complete games. Simmons was also the most hit pitcher on UNT’s team, but she posted the second lowest earned run average on the team at 3.29 runs per game. “She [Simmons] has grown so much since her freshman year,” senior catcher Caitlin Grimes said. “Now batters are barely able to hit her past the pitcher’s mound. Her movement is just drastic, and she has a beautiful off-speed pitch, but with her I love the way she has grown, and she has molded into a fantastic pitcher.” As a groundout pitcher, Simmons is confident batters will hit the ball, which is apparent with the extra equipment Simmons dons in the pitcher’s circle. When Simmons was 11 years old, a line drive crushed her eye socket. She now wears a protective mask to prevent any further damage to her already repaired face. “I actually had plastic surgery to reconstruct my entire eye socket. I have three titanium plates surrounding my eye, so I have to keep my expensive face together and protect it at all costs,” Simmons said. “Probably if you take that thing off of me you might see the biggest baby on the mound ever, because I will just see over and over like, the ball coming at my face.” With Simmons’ pitching style, nothing is more important than the defense backing her up. Having the defense behind her not only gives her confidence but also gives her a sense of team accomplishment every time she enters the pitching circle, she said. “I really like having my team involved out there with me. If I get a win or do something, it is then obviously like a team effort,” Simmons said. “I always feel like every time I pitch they have my back. I have faith in them that if I get a little dinker or a hard hit, they’ll get the out.”

Mean Green Trivia History repeated itself Tuesday, as the UNT men’s basketball team dropped its second straight Sun Belt Conference Tournament Final with a 74-70 loss to Western Kentucky. Who was the team UNT lost to in the final round last season, and what was the score? Answer: The Mean Green fell in 64-63 to the ArkansasLittle Rock Trojans, as Trojan senior guard Solomon Bozeman ended the Mean Green’s season with a gamewinning 3-pointer with 1.5 seconds left in regulation.

Sophomore pitcher Ashley Kirk has been the UNT softball team’s top strikeout pitcher since joining the team last year. She’s struckout 42 hitters this season.

Kirk Stats Kirk has pitched 14 fewer innings this year than Simmons, but has 14 more strikeouts than she does. Kirk has 8.17 strikeouts per game this season. Last season, she averaged 8.46 per game. She recorded the school record with 14 strikeouts in a game twice, once against Troy and once against Missouri State. In high school at Stony Point, Kirk struck out 39 batters in a single 21-inning game.

“When you do get the strikeout and make them look so, so [dumb]...”

—Ashley Kirk Sophomore pitcher

When Kirk does get into a rhythm and starts striking out hitters, Grimes said her job is to make sure Kirk stays upbeat and positive.

“I don’t want her to lose that hype,” Grimes said. “When Kirk starts striking them out left and right, I don’t want to mess with that. You let her do her thing.” After striking out a batter, Kirk points her right index finger to the sky. If her first season and a half are any indication, UNT fans should get used to seeing that motion. “The motion is because a guy that my brother played football with died of a really rare bone cancer, and that’s what he did,” Kirk said. “I also do that in my remembrance of him.”

Paraschiv battles back from shoulder surgery Profile Tyler O wens Staff Writer

No g roup i s t he sa me without its captain, and the Mean Green tennis team is no exception. After suffering a shoulder injury last season, senior Irina Pa raschiv is batt ling back and making a huge impact for UNT. “She is one of our f ier y, emotional leaders, so we need her out there playing her best,” head coach Sujay Lama said. “She’s kind of like the engine of the team. When the engine is on, everybody else is going with it, and when the engine is off the whole team tends to shut down a little bit.” When Paraschiv returned to the team last fall for her fourth season with the Mean Green, an MRI revealed that she had suffered a SLAP tear – superior labrum tear from anterior to posterior – in her right shoulder. “We could have said, ‘Bump the surger y and let us see what happens,’ or ‘Let’s do the surgery, shut her down and

get her back in the spring,’” Lama said of the tennis staff’s dilemma. I n t he end, t he te a m decided to shelve Paraschiv for surgery in hopes that she wou ld return hea lt hy a nd ready for the spring season. “I think, looking back on it, we made the right decision,” Lama said.

“A mont h a f ter [passive rehabilitation], we started doing exercises where I could move my arm alone. Then we started doing tennis-specific exercises,” Paraschiv said. “Even now sometimes I’m still doing rehab.” D u r i n g t h e 2 010 -2 011 season, Paraschiv compiled a team-best 22-13 record and

“She’s kind of like the engine of the team. When the engine is on, everybody else is going with it, and when the engine is off the whole team tends to shut down a little bit.” —Sujay Lama Head coach, tennis team Since Paraschiv’s surgery was in September, she will have t i me to completely hea l before t he Su n Belt Conference Championships, which start April 19. W hile she is currently playing with the team, she is still going through rehabilitation.

went 7-3 in the team’s No.1 slot. The senior has picked up right where she left off since returning to the team this spring. Pa ra sch iv got her f i rst singles action of the season Jan. 21 against Oral Roberts when she dom i nated her

opp onent 6 - 0, 6 -1. T h i s spring, Paraschiv has gone 6-3 in singles matches, posting victories over players from then-No. 53 Kansas State and then-No. 44 TCU. “She’s playing pretty well, taking into consideration that she had the surgery,” senior Paula Dinuta said. “She still has time to get better. By [the SBC Championships] I think she’ll be a lot better.” Paraschiv may be playing well, but she says she’s still on ly 80 percent hea lt hy. Despite this, she is showing no lack of confidence. The time off the court may have even given her an unexpected advantage that she did not have before. “Bei ng outside a nd watching [the team], she’s li ke her ow n coach now,” Lama said. “She sees the game better. That part of her game has improved. She sees how emotions can affect a match, and she sees the tactical side better.” Things are already looking up for the No. 64 Mean Green, and with its captain at the forefront, they could get even better.

Mean Green’s season offered plenty of positives Men’s Basketball Brett Medeiros Senior Staff Writer

A familiar feeling resonates with the Mean Green men’s basketball team. One year after losing by a point in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament title game, the team took a four-point loss in the championship to end its season Tuesday.

“I thought our guys did a fantastic job in getting to this point. It took a great deal of effort and energy, and unfortunately we weren’t able to finish those guys off,” head coach Johnny Jones said. Before UNT’s 2011-2012 season began, Hoopscooponline.com ranked UNT’s recruiting class No. 31 in the nation – its best recruiting class in the program’s history – and looked ready to

make another run at the Sun Belt Conference Tournament championship. After last season’s one-point loss to Arkansas-Little Rock in the SBC Final, Jones brought in Oklahoma State junior transfer Roger Franklin and freshmen guards Chris Jones and Jordan Williams. Freshman forward Tony Mitchell, who was one of the nation’s top players coming out of high school, also joined the

team in December. UNT was then hit with academic ineligibility when two of the team’s starters, Williams and Chris Jones, failed to meet the academic standards held by the NCAA a month after Mitchell joined the lineup. UNT moved on without the guards but ultimately fell to the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers in the SBC Tournament Final 74-70. “We got some good looks there’s no question about that, but the ball just didn’t go in. There were definitely some good plays though,” sophomore guard Alzee Williams said. With the loss of Chris Jones and Williams, the UNT coaching staff had to retool the lineup and still produced the highest scoring offense in the conference at 71.8 points per game and the No. 18 rebounding team in the nation at 39 boards per game. “We’ve become a stronger and closer basketball team because of

However, the team will get Chris Jones and Williams, who were two

of the team’s top scorers before they were ruled ineligible, back next season. “We’ve been having troubles finishing teams off all year, but at the end of the day I think that what it really was that we needed the composures and we need to make the plays down the stretch,” Franklin said.

Diving duo heads to Iowa for NCAA qualifying meet Swimming Ryne Gannoe Intern

Sophomore divers Catherine Johnson and Rebecca Taylor will try to make school history today when they represent the Mean Green in the NCAA Zone D Diving Meet in Iowa City, Iowa.

If Johnson or Taylor qualifies for the NCAA Championships, they will be the first members of the Mean Green to do so in program history. Johnson is the first diver in the school’s history to qualify in backto-back years. The two qualified for the meet by finishing second and

fourth, respectively, in the onemeter diving finals at the SBC Championship. “I think if we can repeat how well we did in the Sun Belt [Championship], and we’re looking to do a little better, the top 18 – maybe the top 12 – is a pretty safe bet,” head diving coach Jim Pyrch said. While 42 divers have been invited to the meet, which takes place March 8 through March 10, last year only 11 divers advanced to the NCAA Championships. To qualify for the zone meet, the divers need to score 265 points on the one-meter board and 280 to qualify on the three-meter board. The score is based on six total dives. Each dive is scored by two judges, and that combined score is multiplied by the degree of difficulty. Johnson has been the SBC Diver UNIONMASTERPLAN of the Week four times this season. In preliminary dives, Taylor broke the previous school record of 298.13 on the three-meter board with a score of 304.45. “One miss and you’re gonna be out,” Pyrch said. “I think as long as we score and dive how we have been, we’re going to be in the ball game.” UNIONMASTERPLAN

Do you support the SGA’s decision to send the Union fee to a student vote?

Union plan will not bode well for students Last n ig ht, UN T’s St udent Government Association voted for a plan for the building of a new student Union to go to a student vote. If the majority of students vote yes, a fee increase by as much as $115 will be placed on every student starting in fall 2014. It is in the opinion of the Edboard that the proposed plan is not in the best interest of the university, and its students and SGA president Blake Windham should veto the bill for two main reasons.

In an interview with students posted on the University Union Master Plan blog, Union Director Zane Reif stated

“It’s good because it’s our school, and we should have a say in the politics of our school.”

Scoular and Stovall halls would be removed to make room for the newer, larger student Union. Unfortunately, this would place the two programs housed by each building, Dance and the College of Visual Arts and Design, in modular buildings ­for an unknown period of time. Three of UNT’s “Four Bold Goals,” released earlier this semester, were centered on creating a better educational experience, with the ultimate goal of being a “Tier-One” research school. Leaving students in some programs unsure of their future because we’re too focused on funding a hangout spot for students will not bring positive academic growth to our school.

Funding In the same interview, Reif said the financing of the $120 million Union was based on projections of UNT having grown to 45,000 students by 2020 –– which raises questions, considering UNT saw a decrease in enrollment by 1.9 percent from spring 2011. The school is focused on stricter academic standards for incoming freshman, which increases the quality of students but also has a tendency to decrease total enrollment. Because of this, it seems likely that the student fee could increase in the future. It can’t be a good indication for

students when Reif states in the interview he hopes the financing will come together early enough to prevent a growth in the fee. Although students are able to pass the fee, they don’t have control over an increase dealing with interest, which, all things considered, will be a problem. Just because SGA has approved the new student Union, that doesn’t mean it will necessarily happen. It’s now in the hands of the leader of SGA’s executive branch, Blake Windham. President Windham has the power to veto this harmful legislation and should exercise that power if he cares for the future of UNT and its students.

Mavs front office should go after star players In many ways, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban takes things to the extreme. He’s the guy that allegedly paid a fine in 2001 with multiple armored cars full of pennies. He’s the guy who bought a champagne bottle the size of Gary Coleman after winning the NBA Championship. And now he’s the guy who is saying that the best option for the Mavericks’ future may not be with free agents Deron Williams and Dwight Howard. Of course Cuban wants the euphoria of winning a title to last for as long as it can, but at what cost do you hang onto that winning sensation when the opportunity to win multiple titles is right in front of you? Williams has openly said that he’d like to return to Dallas to play basketball, and veteran guard Jason Kidd said he’d be open to backing up Williams on the depth chart, whether that be in Dallas or New Jersey. One could argue that Williams is one of the top three point guards in the NBA right now. The Nets are surviving in the Eastern Conference with a roster full of nobodies because of William’s production. Cuban would be insane to turn down a willing point guard with the ability to play defense, dish the rock and score as well as Williams can. That 57-point game against Charlotte proved he can do it all. What will drive any Mavericks fan absolutely crazy is if Cuban has the ability to get Howard and turns him down. Cuban has notoriously overspent for centers. A perfect example is

Brendan Haywood’s contract, which has five years and $45 million left. Haywood will most likely cut with the amnesty clause, so Dallas will need a center. With Howard, the team would get instant defense. Howard has been the Defensive Player of the Year for three consecutive years, All-NBA for four and has been in MVP discussions for the last few years. If you have the opportunity to get one of the top three guards AND the top center in the NBA and you say no after letting go of defensive anchor Tyson Chandler and fan favorite J.J. Barea, I think fans turn on Cuban. They might still like the Mavericks and walking legend Dirk Nowitzki, but the only respect Cuban will get is with his buddies on Shark Tank. If Cuban wants to fill his euphoria addiction with more Larry O’Brien trophies, he’ll sign Williams and Howard if he has the chance.

Cancer research shouldn’t come with strings If you aren’t disgusted by The Cancer Prevention & Research Institute of Texas, you should be. They recently announced a new policy where universities without smoking bans would be denied cancer research funds. UNT received about $200,000 of funding from CPRIT last year for a study on prostate cancer. I think it’s time we gave the money back or at least severed ties with their organization. Back in January, I received news that my father had prostate cancer. Prostate cancer isn’t the most popular cancer in terms of research funds. Compared to breast cancer, it kills roughly the same number of people while only receiving a third of the research funds. To see that CPRIT would deny UNT research funding because of its lack of smoking ban infuriated me. How do you tell people that you’re denying research funds because an institution respects individual liberties? UNT needs to do the right thing and at the very least reject any funds from CPRIT. The policy is vague and draconian. It calls for “a tobacco-free zone around each research building and all connected walkways and parking lots.” I understand that their goal is to eradicate cancer, but that goes too far. What is defined as a “research building”? Even their PR specialist Ellen Price said, “We don’t mind a complete ban.” Yes, North Texas is trying to be a Tier One school, but we shouldn’t sacrifice individual liberty and bend over backwards to suit one institu-

tion. This policy is offensive, and to hold cancer funds hostage is absolutely unacceptable. Where do the stipulations end? Will CPRIT one day deny research funds because UNT serves red meat, or because we don’t require enough physical education hours or even because we don’t regulate the amount of sugar served in our cafeterias? We cannot accept these terms as a university. Our 25-feet-from-thebuilding rule is more than OK, and if that can’t even be enforced then what’s to say that the “tobacco-free zone” will be enforced either? Yes, cancer is terrible, but so is the destruction of individual liberties. The students at this school oppose a total ban on smoking, why should we use this as a way of subverting their wishes?
