Lively resigns, takes job in D.C. NICOLE BALDERAS Senior Staff Writer

Vice Chancellor for Strategic P a r t ne r s h ip s Bi l l L i v e l y announced his resignation from the UNT system and will soon begin working at National Geographic Society in Washington, D.C., as senior vice president of development.

“Bi l l L ively broug ht to our leadership a vision and an ambition for UNT to aim much higher than we have been accustomed to,” UNT System Chancellor Lee Jackson said.

“He asked staff, and vice presidents and deans to envision the greatest imaginable future for each college and program at UNT, and then he started to show us how to recruit partners who can help us realize these stronger action plans.”

Lively began his position at UNT last fall with the possibility of working for up to three years. However, the National Geographic position was not expected.

“I didn’t even know about the National Geographic thing until Januar y of this year,” Lively said. “I told the chancellor and [UNT] President [V Lane] Rawlins in December that I would probably be staying a year then enjoy my home in Colorado, and then this invitation came from National Geographic.”

Lively, who graduated from UNT in 1970, previously worked as the part-time president and

CEO of the D a l l a s Symphony O rche st r a a nd later CEO of the North Texas Super Bowl BILL X LV Host LIVELY Committee.

He said that his position at UNT gave him the opportunity to serve the university community.

“I’m not sure what I did was any value,” Lively said.

“What I’ve gotten to be a part of is the team at UNT that developed the campaign for the university’s ‘Four Bold Goals’ plan. We’ve never had a campaign at the university; it will be historic and heroic.”

W it h t he “Fou r Bold Goals” campaign in place, Lively said there should be more funds generated through philanthropy that will help balance out cuts from state funding.

“We all would have liked to have had the opportunity to work with Bill for another three or five years, but it’s our responsibility to keep the positive momentum,” Jackson said. “There is no one I know in our region with Bill Lively’s record of success in building a first class philanthropic organization where no strong tradition existed previously.”

“We want to talk directly to students,” said Rudy Reynoso, newly elected president of the Student Government Association, answering questions from converged broadcast media senior Lar’ri Jefferson on ntTV alongside newly elected SGA Vice President Justin Wood in the Union on Monday. The duo won 60 percent of the vote, 2,025, compared to 1,351 for Morgan Ray and Adam Hasley.

Union vote, election results announced NICOLE BALDERAS Senior Staff Writer

The results from last week’s UNT Student Government Association elections were announced Monday, with Rudy Reynoso and Justin Wood being named as next year’s SGA president and vice president and students approving an increase to the University Union student fee.

The student referendum passed 1,220 to 1,033 in favor

of the Union fee increase, which will add up to $115 to the current $51 Union fee starting in fall 2014. The increase will help fund construction of the new University Union, which is projected to cost about $120 million and will be completed by fall 2015.

Union Director Zane Reif said the next step would be the design phase, during which he hopes to garner student participation.

“We’re going to regroup on Friday with the Master Plan Committee, and during the next two weeks we will be getting together with administration to move forward with the project,” Reif said.

Reynoso and Wood won with 60 percent of the votes against opponent Morgan Ray and running mate Adam Hasley.

Only about 10 percent of the student body – 3,376 students – voted in the SGA presiden-

tial election.

“I g uess as fa r as t he campaign itself we tried to do a new strategy to reach out to students,” Reynoso said. “We had two magic shows: one was the Thursday of campaign week, and one was the Monday of voting week. It was a way to get our names out there and get others to participate in the campaign.”

Reigning Sun Belt C on ferenc e Fre s h m a n of t h e Ye a r To n y M i t c h e l l announced he would return to UNT for his sophomore season at t he Mea n Green Ba sketba l l Ba nquet on Monday.

I n h i s f i r st s e a s on on the men’s basketball team, Mitchell led the team with 14.7 points, 10.3 rebounds and three blocks per game in 23 games. “ Ton y i s t r u l y a r a r e c om mo d it y. He’s one of those guys that don’t come along very often,” head coach

Joh n ny Jones sa id. “A s a player, when we go play our opponents, their attendance level goes up just because of the type of player he is.”

W hen he made his announcement, Mitchell took the stand and said just a few words before he was drowned out with cheers. All he could do is smile at the support he received.

“Man, I am ver y excited,” Mitchell sa id. “As you ca n see, everyone is family here. I love North Texas. Period.”

ESPN had projected Mitchell to be an early second round pick in the NBA Draft if he had chosen to enter. Today

is the deadline for players to declare their eligibilit y for the draft.

“It really was not a tough decision at all. I took some time away from it all and got all the info I could,” Mitchell said. “It was clear to me to come back to school for another year. I have no regrets, and I can’t wait for this season.”

Mitchell will join a team that for the most part looks the same as last year’s, as the Mean Green w ill only lose sen ior s A lon z o Edw a rd s, Kedrick Hoga ns a nd Tyler Hall.

Construction has begun to repair and update the Hurley Administration Building’s McConnell Tower.

The $121,000 construction project will weatherproof the tower and install a safety line and safety railing on the roof hatch, UNT spokesman Buddy Price said. The safety railing on the roof hatch is required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

Construction is expected to take 45 days, but recent weather conditions could extend construction time.

“It’s a pretty standard maintenance project,” Price said.

“It’s maintenance that has to be done every so often. They will be recaulking where needed, replacing anything that needs replacing and power washing the stone.”

The tower is being weatherproofed to avoid costs in the future. As time passes, water can have extensive damage to buildings. Leaks are discovered when damage has already occurred, and by that point the cost to repair the leaks increases.

“The university always has had a maintenance program for its buildings,” Price said. “This type of work is often referred to as preventative maintenance and ensures that as buildings age they continue to function properly. The most effec-

McConnell Tower’s green lights will not be on during this construction, but they will be turned back on when the

construction team is finished.

Math freshman Melissa Parks hopes the construction is completed soon.

“The tower is iconic to campus, and while the scaffolding is up, it’s just not the same,” Parks said.

Pipeline to run Hebrew language classes to be cut “The Hebrew program has not been to Denton doing well for many years now.”

CAYDEE ENSEY

lost in the first wave of registered students. It took some time for the registrar to fix it.”

Marie Koop, chair of the department of foreign language and literature, said the confusion with the registrar wasn’t a major factor in the program’s poor performance.

“The Hebrew program has not been doing well for many years now,” Koop said. “In order for a course to be funded, you have to have 12 students in the undergrad level. It was getting to the point where we barely had 10 students the last two semesters. We tried to give it a chance. First we offered modern Hebrew, then biblical Hebrew in the hope we could recruit more students. Unfortunately,

it didn’t make a difference.”

When Precker announced to her current Hebrew students that the classes were being eliminated, philosophy junior and Hebrew student Kevin Safarik said his classmates were distressed at the loss of the program and wrote a petition – which Safarik and 10 others signed – requesting that the university reconsider canceling the program.

“At least keep the program one more year for the upper level students, because the students who take Hebrew take it for a very specific reason,” Safarik said. “Christian and Jewish students want to read parts of the Bible in their original language. And you have

students who want to pa r t icipate in t he a rea of diplomacy that requires them to know H e b r e w . RUTH We a r e n’t PRECKER in it for the credit; we desire to learn the language.”

Koop and Precker are both concerned about the students that have completed their first year of Hebrew and will now not have the opportunity to complete t he second yea r for the university’s language requirements. Precker said the students who only had a year of language are being told they can take any class in the Jewish Studies department to get their last year of language credit.

“I am under the impression that there might be reevaluation because of the 11 students who signed the petition,” Koop said. “I haven’t received a response yet, but it is never too late.”

The two were deemed academically ineligible in January and had to sit out the last half of the season.

“Honestly, it is truly a blessing to have a guy like Tony to come back,” junior guard Roger Franklin said. “Everything that he brought to this team we’re getting back, and for a full year.”

Mitchell became eligible

to play with the Mean Green after the first semester of last season.

Mitchell and his teammates will try to get past the Sun Belt Tournament Championship game, which UNT has lost two years in a row.

“I think him coming back makes a statement about the university and what we are doing here in the program,” UNT Athletic

Director Rick Villarreal s a i d . “He made a commitment to the universit y, and I t h i n k he’s TONY willing to live MITCHELL up to that and help North Texas take some big steps next year.”

“One of our main goals is to educate students overall about what SGA is, how issues are addressed and student involvement at the ground level,” Rey noso sa id. “We want to see the entire student body represented and w ill do that by organizing events with other groups.”

Ray, the speaker of the SGA

senate and peer mentor for freshmen SGA interns, said she will not be running in next year’s election and is not sure whether she will be participating in SGA. While the numbers in the SGA presidentia l elections were dow n, 5,972 students voted in the Distinguished Lecture Series opinion poll,

which tallied which public figures students would like to see speak on campus. Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman o f D i s c o v e r y C h a n n e l’s “My t hbusters” topped t he poll with 15 percent of the votes, while Jim Parsons of “The Big Bang Theor y” on CBS placed second with 12 percent.

Construction will begin later this month on a natural gas pipeline that will run from Ardamore, Okla., to Denton.

Energy Transfer Partners contracted Houston-based engineering company Willbros Group Inc. to handle the construction of the 97-mile “Red River Pipeline.”

The cost of the pipeline has not been released.

T h e Te x a s R a i l r o a d Commission typically oversees pipeline development to ensure the proper building codes to prevent gas leaks or environmental damage are being followed.

However, TRC spokeswoman Ramona Nye said in an email statement that the TRC is leaving the task in the hands of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA).

“The commission has safety regulations over intrastate pipelines, not interstate,” Nye said. “The safety regulation of this pipeline would be under the federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration.”

Damon Hill, a spokesperson for PHMSA, explained that PHMSA intends to follow the construction of the pipeline every step of the way.

“We are going to be watching the construction the entire time the pipe is going to be made,” Hill said.

“We have to make sure that the pipes are made to where there isn’t going to be a gas leak or break in the pipes that could potentially do harm.”

Neither company has commented on how they will be working with the federal government or the city of Denton. The pipeline is expected to be completed in September.

For the past 10 years, UNT has been the only university in the North Texas area where students could study Hebrew outside of seminary.

But after many years of low enrollment, the program is being eliminated.

“Our numbers are not great, because it’s not French or Spanish,” said Ruth Precker, the adjunct professor hired in 2002 to teach Hebrew. “But we had steady numbers around 30 or 35 for the first year and around 12 for the second year.

The university is not thrilled with the numbers.”

Precker bel ieves t he program’s recent low enrollment is due to issues with the registrar.

“When registration opened about a year ago, there was a glitch in the system that in order to be a beginner student the student needed a prerequisite, which for a first-year language student doesn’t make sense,” Precker said. “I don’t know how many students we

CBS broadcaster Wallace dies at 93 (MCT) – As the self-described “black hat” of telev ision’s premier newsmagazine “60 M i nut e s ,” M i k e Wa l l a c e crafted a persona of a probing reporter known for his often caustic questioning of sometimes reluctant guests on the program.

He was 93.

David Bailey, Spanish senior and volunteer for the Multicultural Center, talks with a student in the One O’Clock Lounge on Monday about the Clothesline Project, which helps survivors and victims break the silence of intimate violence.

Students hang anti-violence messages, shirts out to dry A shley GrAnt

Senior Staff Writer Students hung T-shirts decorated with messages of survival, prevention and hope on a clothesline in the One O’Clock Lounge on Monday, using the visual platform to speak out against violent crimes toward women.

UNT’s Multicultural Center provided T-shirts and craft paint to students who wanted to participate in the Clothesline Project, a national program that raises awareness about the impact of sexual abuse and violence.

The university holds a Clothesline Project event about once a semester, Director of Mu lt ic u lt u ra l Center Programming Uyen TranParsons said. “I think it’s important for students to realize the different types of violence that goes on against women, and it’s not that far from your everyday life,� TranParsons said. “These are shirts that were made by your fellow students.�

The T-shirts’ colors represented different types of abuse: white for women who died from violence, black for women attacked for political reasons, red for survivors of rape and sexual assault and purple for women attacked for their sexual orientation.

Students chose a shirt and then used the decorating station to write and design individual messages, including personal accounts of abuse and expressions of hope for the future.

Education sophomore Melissa Sandoval decided to volunteer at the event after hearing about it in her anthropology class.

“These are shirts that were made by your fellow students.�

—Uyen Tran-Parsons Multicultural Programming “I know people who have been sexually assaulted, so this was personal for me,� she said. “It’s inspiring, and I hope other students learn more about it and understand it’s not something to be ashamed of.�

According to a Center for Collegiate Mental Health study, which surveyed 74,000 students who visited college counseling centers in 2010 and 2011, about 9 percent of men and 28 percent of women reported being a victim

of unwanted sexual contact or experience.

The Clothesline Project began in 1990 in Cape Cod, Mass., according to the program’s website.

After seeing the impact made by similar programs such as AIDS Memorial Quilts, visual artist Rachel Carey-Harper proposed using T-shirts as a way to spread awareness about sexual assault and other violent crimes against women. The clothesline idea stemmed from the stereotype of laundry being seen as “women’s work.�

Tra n-Pa rsons sa id t he director of UNT’s Women’s Center learned about the Clothesline Project and brought it to campus about eight years ago. She said the program at UNT has collected more than 500 T-shirts since its start.

Porsche Chiles, a graduate assistant for the Multicultural Center, said she was glad to see students taking part in the project. “Ever yone came from a mother,� Chiles said. “Some may have sisters, aunts or know someone [who has suffered from sexual violence], so it’s very important to get the word out and let everyone know this is not OK.�

UNT literary journal celebrates 22nd year Brittni BArnett Senior Staff Writer

Every month, hundreds of poetry, fiction and nonfiction works from around the world pour into room 210 of the Auditorium Building. After surviving an intensive selection process, fewer than 50 of those submissions will grace the pages of UNT’s American Literary Review, the biannual literary journal published by UNT’s creative writing program.

The journal, currently celebrating its 22nd year of publication, has established a name for itself in the world of creative writing, said English professor Ann McCutchan, faculty editorin-chief of the ALR. “There are a lot of literary journals out there,� McCutchan said. “They fall into tiers. We fall into the tier that is willing to look at writers who are not widely published yet, and we pride ourselves on that.�

The journal is published every fall and spring, and submissions are taken and read from October 1 to May 1, according to

its website. “We don’t take submissions from anyone affiliated with the university just for fairness’ sake,� said English graduate student Zach Vandezande, production editor for the Review. “We don’t want our friends and loved ones getting published here.�

After being sorted based on genre, the submissions are then read by a group of volunteer student readers. If a volunteer reader likes a piece, they will then pass it on to an assistant editor, who further narrows the pool and finally passes it on to a faculty editor. “They are essentially the third line of defense,� McCutchan said. “They are the final decision and help determine the cream of the crop.�

The Review first began to help bring recognition to the creative writing program, McCutchan said. While it continues to bring attention to the program, McCutchan is looking for new ways to connect the journal to UNT, she said.

In three years she hopes for the

journal to be available entirely online. “This is one way to save money and tie the journal to creative writing at UNT,� McCutchan said. “Journals that have gone online receive upwards of 30,000 reads, so the exposure will be incredible.�

Currently readers must purchase individual issues or subscriptions to the magazine, but the Review would be free if available online. McCutchan said that would not be a problem because most of the Review’s funding comes from UNT and entry fees from its yearly writing competition.

Vandezande said money was not the American Literary Review’s primary concern. “I think it’s always important for the university to realize that the arts have value that cannot practically be measured,�

Vandezande said. “It’s another arm of our broader connection to the writing community as a whole in this nation.�

A new project that will shock dubsteppers, indie rockers and classical music lovers alike has joined the genre-brea k ing musica l landscape of Denton.

Fou nde d b y mu s ic and business sophomore Evan Scallan in the fall of last year, The Dominant Complex is a musical venture entirely composed of UNT students. “It all started with me sitting down on the computer with a digital piano and an acoustic instrument, experimenting and producing different sounds out of Logic-Pro,� said Scallan, who strategically rounded up band members from UNT’s College of Music to help bring his musical experiment to the public ear.

Bassist and music and business freshman Connor French has been a musical partner of Scallan since the two met in Heath, Texas, during their high school years. Guitarist and jazz studies sophomore Kent Shores responded to an ad placed on the brick walls of the Music Building.

Drummer and music sophomore Isaac T. Gonzales brings his own experience and unique sound to the table. “He comes from a drum corps background and has got the music chops and band experience to do the job,� said Scallan of Gonzales.

Gonzales keeps a steady Latin-influenced beat with

The Dominant Complex consists of Kent Shores on guitar, Evan Scallan on keyboard, synthesizer and lead vocals, Isaac Gonzales on drums and vocals and Connor French on bass and saxophone. clockwork precision that is the perfect foundation for the group’s trancelike bass lines to interact with the math-rock-infused guitars. Scallan finishes the picture with heavy synthesizer sounds and moody vocals that are often reminiscent of electronic producer Skrillex.

The band members have been polishing the musical feat of combining these disparate elements throughout their time at UNT, drawing influence from a variety of sources – bands such as The Mars Volta and Vampire Weekend, classical composers and music history lectures are just a few. “We’ll start some songs acoustic, then end up electronic, then combine classical music with modern music,� Scallan said. “It’s all over the place.�

The band has spent most of this semester playing house shows in Denton and recording their soon-to-be-released EP at the College Of Music’s recording studios.

French said making the

EP had been a collaborative process. “Evan will usually have a basic song structure and record it, leaving spaces open for everybody to collaborate,� French said. “Then it’s a group effort from there, and we pretty much all make it our own.�

The group will be dominating the stage at Bruce Hall at about 10 p.m. on April 19 for the annual Bruce Jam, a 12-hour lobby concert that includes dozens of bands from UNT. The Dominant Complex will be selling CD copies of a recorded song and plans to release its finished EP at the beginning of the fall semester. “We’ve found our sound, and that sound features many other sounds that vary from song to song,� Scallan said. “You have to listen to it to know.�

French cited a desire to play as many shows as possible once the group wraps up recording its EP. “We are in this for the long run.�

Junior hurdler Steven White sprints during practice Feb. 5 at Fouts Field. At the North Texas Spring Classic on Saturday, White broke his own record for the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 50.07 seconds, placing him third overall in the NCAA. The Mean Green had 28 top-five finishes.

UNT closes home schedule with with dominant victories Tennis tyler owens & A lison eldridge

Staff Writer/Senior Staff Writer In its first action in three weeks, the No. 67 Mean Green tennis team swept a pair of home matches to run its winning streak to three victories in a row.

The wins wrapped up UNT’s regular season home schedule.

The team finished the regular season 8-1 at the Waranch Tennis Complex.

“I thought overall we looked pretty good,” head coach Sujay Lama said. “There were moments that we were rusty, but most of them fought through it.”

Senior day success The Mean Green (13-6) notched its first win since March 11 on Saturday when it took a 5-2 win against the Central Florida Knights (8-10) on senior day.

The team got off to a fast start when it won all three of the doubles matches to take an early 1-0 lead.

Senior Paula Dinuta and juniors Valentina Starkova and

Ilona Serchenko kept it going in singles, dominating their opponents in straight sets.

“For me, the practice time paid off,” said Starkova of the team’s extended break. “I didn’t know how it was going to come out during the match. I could be really stiff, or I could do really well. I felt that I even improved over break because I had extra time to practice.”

The other three singles matches saw UNT locked into third set tiebreakers. Of those three, only freshman Kseniya Bardabush walked away with a victory, sealing the win for the Mean Green.

“You just have to concentrate,” said Bardabush of the final set. “I think it’s more mental. You just have to stay focused on every ball.”

Fitting finale In a match that was originally scheduled for last Tuesday, the Mean Green beat the TexasArlington Mavericks (12-8) 5-2 Monday.

“We stepped it up today [Monday]. This [UTA] was a tough

team. They beat us last year, and we had to come out and compete today,” Lama said. “It was a step in the right direction and puts a little bit of momentum on our backs.”

Seniors Irina Paraschiv and Dinuta earned the team’s first victory of the match. The duo of junior Barbora Vykydalova and senior Nadia Miller nailed down UNT’s doubles point and are now 7-1 in doubles for the season.

“The last match I played was kind of just getting some of the rust out,” Miller said.

“I came in with a lot of confidence, and being able to close with a comfortable win has left me feeling good for the next match.”

Miller and Dinuta then led the team in singles play, with each beating their opponents.

Vykydalova and Serchenko closed out the singles point.

The Mean Green will finish its regular season in Alabama this weekend when it plays conference opponents Middle Tennessee on Saturday and Troy on Sunday.

Track Josh Friemel Staff Writer

Track and field head coach Carl Sheffield had initially planned for junior hurdler Steven W hite to rest last weekend for the North Texas Spring Classic and not compete.

The two made a bet that if White ran, he would have to break 49 seconds.

“He [White] said ‘done,’” Sheffield said. “He lied.”

Instead, in UNT’s lone home meet of the season, White continued his hot streak by breaking his own record for the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 50.07 seconds.

The time was a personal record and a Fouts Field record.

It also vaulted him up to third overall in the NCAA, fifth in the nation and eighth-best in the world.

“It’s almost unreal,” White said. “I imagine myself up there

all the time, but I’ve never actually seen my name up there.

This year, I know I can get up there and try to win it all.”

After tallying three top-10 finishes at the Texas Relays, UNT rebounded with 28 topfive finishes last weekend at the North Texas Spring Classic.

Sheffield said the athletes’ familiarity with the track helped their performance.

“Home field advantage gives a little bit of an edge because we aren’t thinking as much about that,” Sheffield said.

O t her top per for mer s included sophomore Clinton Collins finishing second in the 400-meter dash in 47.13 seconds and the 4x100 relay team of White, Collins, junior Johnny Hickman and senior James Fowler finishing first in 40.94 seconds.

Women Senior Sa ra Diet z a lso continued her hot streak by

finishing the 1,500-meter in 4:27.34 minutes, good enough for first place and a personal record.

She now leads the Sun Belt in the 800-meter and the 1,500meter in the outdoor season.

“It makes racing easy when she knows that she can do well at what she does,” Sheffield said.

“In outdoors, I don’t think there is anything she thinks she can’t do.”

Senior Chelsea Hermes also wasn’t supposed to compete but ended up setting personal records in the javelin throw with a throw of 47.12 meters and in the high jump with a jump of 1.68 meters. She won both events.

“It was a lot of fun,” she said.

“It was a really good day, too.

They were going to give me a break, but I really wanted to compete at home.”

The Mean Green will compete next in Norman, Okla., on April 14 for the Oklahoma Classic.

Kirk helps UNT win third series of the season at home Softball

Brett medeiros Senior Staff Writer

Behind the pitching of sophomore Ashley Kirk, the UNT softball team took two of three games against conference foe Florida Atlantic at home last weekend.

It was the third series victory of the season for the Mean Green.

Saturday For the fourth straight game, the Mean Green put together a seventh inning comeback thanks to a three-run, game-tying home run by sophomore utility player Jackie Miller, but the Mean Green (17-18-1, 8-6-1) fell 5-3 in extra innings..

“Before the at-bat I was thinking, ‘I just want to hit a home run,’” Miller said. “Usually when I head to the plate I’m all relaxed, but I went up there pretty mad about my last two at-bats. Like, after each pitch I had to stop and take the biggest breath ever to calm myself down.”

UNT could not figure out FAU junior pitcher Taylor Fawbush.

She held the Mean Green lineup hitless through five and twothirds innings and clinched her fifth win of the season after the Owls scored two runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to put UNT away.

In the second game of Saturday’s doubleheader, a motivated Mean Green team showed up, defeating FAU 8-0.

UNT exploded for five runs in the fifth inning, putting the team up 8-0 and ending the game on the run-rule, which ends a game if one team is up by at least eight runs after five innings.

Sophomore Terry Jordan hits the ball during the game against Florida Atlantic at Lovelace Stadium on Saturday. The Mean Green earned the conference win by defeating FAU 9-1.

Kirk flew through the FAU lineup, pitching all five innings.

In picking up her fourth win of the season, she gave up two hits, surrendered zero walks and struck out eight batters. Kirk never had to face any more than four batters in an inning.

“I feel good out there, and I’m ready to go the rest of the season,” Kirk said. “It really makes it easier when the offense has your back. It’s also easier when you know the defense, no matter what, when the ball is hit, it’s an out.”

Sunday In the series’ rubber match, UNT brought the run-rule into play once again, defeating the Owls 9-1 in five innings and clinching the series victory.

Kirk led the way from the circle in her second consecutive start, win and complete game. Kirk is now 5-8 on the season.

“She [Kirk] had, what, one

Kirk’s weekend by the numbers • 2 wins • 10 innings pitched • 132 pitches • 13 strikeouts • 6 hits • 1 earned run • 0 walks earned run in two games’ worth.

She was just unstoppable,” head coach T.J. Hubbard said. “It was certainly a good weekend for her, and hopefully it propels her on through to the next week.”

The two victories against FAU over the weekend put the Mean Green at 7-1-1 at home in conference play and in fourth place in the conference standings.

UNT will conclude its eightgame home stand with a two game series against nonconference foe Texas State at 3 p.m.

Wednesday.

Staff Editorial

Voter apathy a product of unawareness The late author David Foster Wallace once said, “In reality, there is no such thing as not voting: you either vote by voting, or you vote by staying home and tacitly doubling the value of some Diehard’s vote.”

These words of wisdom were clearly not on the minds of UNT students during last week’s voting for Student Government Association president and on the referendum on the new student Union. Only 3,376 students – or roughly ten percent of the total student population – voted in the election. Only 2,253 voted on the new Union referendum.

Students were more concerned with what famous person might come to speak on campus, as 5,972 voted on who should speak as part of the Distinguished

Lecture Series.

Considering Wallace was talking about voting on a national level, this is especially troubling. The kind of voting where you have to get up, drive to the courthouse or church or college or wherever, get out of your car, and then walk into a place and cast a physical vote.

Our university’s problem is that people wouldn’t log on to a website and cast a vote. Something they could do from their sofa or, given that most students own a smartphone by now, literally anywhere with a 3G signal.

As student voters, we have a higher efficacy than voters do on a national level. We had a direct say on whether our tuition would be increased by $115 beginning in the fall of 2014 to fund the

building on the new Union. These kinds of decisions affect every student and, more importantly, students’ wallets.

The online referendum was on the next voting page after the vote for SGA president. So 1,123 students did not feel that voting on whether or not a new Union should be built on campus was as important as picking the SGA president, a position that lasts for a year and yields minimal influence on administration.

If most students had been exposed to the plans for building the Union, had knowledge of a fee increase or had any idea that voting was taking place online, the results could have been drastically different.

President elect Rudy Reynoso and his

running mate Justin Wood said one of their main priorities was getting students more involved in campus. In the opinion of the Edboard, that’s asking too much.

Involvement means students care about the state of UNT and want to engage in UNT’s daily happenings so they may affect change in a positive manner.

Instead, our new president should make his goal to raise student awareness.

If their constituency were just slightly more aware of basic events happening at UNT, then involvement would likely follow.

And maybe then more than ten percent of the student body could find time in their week to place a vote for their own future, instead of placing that decision in the hands of Diehards.

Social media is killing originality in film There is an old saying that ‘Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery,’ but the social media generation has definitely taken that expression to an extreme.

Particularly, there is a slump in the movie industry. Somehow it is now acceptable to slap on the words “3-D” and suddenly engage an entirely new audience of viewers in a film otherwise exactly the same.

In addition, sequels and prequels (once only reserved for intricate movies such as “Star Wars”) have become a trend–a formula, even.

Rather than engage viewers in character development or plot thickening, movies such as the “Final Fantasy” series and “I Know What You Did Last Summer” do none of the above. These movies, though from the late ’90s and early 2000s, served as precursors for a generation of movie viewers who would grow up to be the creators.

On rottentomatoes.com, a website for public movie rating, the sequel “I Still Know What You Did Last Summer” received a 7 percent rating, with comments “boring; predictable.” However, “predictable and formulaic” seems to be the slogan for most of what is out there now.

In a generation of tailored news feeds, Facebook stalking and Twitter following, it seems we have become accustomed to viewing only that which we want to see. Predictability sells, and fresh ideas are a risk. It is far less of a risk to produce a sequel (or prequel) to a film that was a success than it is to try to come up with a whole new story.

To an extent, news “feeding” and the “consumption” of media have left us hungry for more. Maybe that is why TV series such as the wildly popular “Sex and the City” are being recreated entirely for a new audience.

The formula is simple: successful show + loyal audience. Add in a new cast, and you have a decently similar replica (if you’re lucky). At the very least, viewers will tune in because they liked it the first time, and that’s all it takes for ratings.

We live in an age where every movie in the “Saw” series scored a 40 percent or less on Rotten Tomatoes but were still named the “Most Successful Horror Movie Series” by the Guinness Book of World Records.

In the end, if you can’t beat ‘em, you best join ‘em. I, for one, will likely be found at a screening of “Titanic” in 3-D, now in theaters everywhere.

Treasure hunting shows ethically questionable Hunting for buried treasure _ whether it’s in the ground, in an abandoned storage locker or at the bottom of the ocean _ seems to be a primal urge. But when does digging up your backyard cross the line into sullying the study of history and culture?

According to some archaeologists, two cable TV reality shows have done just t hat. Nat iona l Geographic’s “Diggers” and Spike T V’s “A merican Digger” follow the exploits of the archaeological equivalent of bounty hunters who, w ith propert y ow ners’ permission, dig and occasionally blast their way to underground artifacts, which they hope to sell to collectors for prof it. The issue here isn’t so much the legality of what the diggers are doing, but the ethics.

In the U.S., numerous federal a nd state laws protect Nat ive American and other historic burial grounds, as well as archaeological sites designated as landmarks.

But, there is no cultural patrimony law in t his countr y t hat gives authorities the right to take possession of any finds on private property because they are historically significant.

Archaeologists who have criticized the shows aren’t particularly worried that Ric Savage, the former professional wrestler turned star of Spike TV’s “American Digger,” is going to unearth another La Brea Tar Pits or vestiges of Pocahontas’ 17th-century wedding attire. Most

significant historic sites in the U.S. are already under federal or state control. In fact, some say that the bullets and belt buckles and shards of pottery that the diggers find are of meager value to collectors and almost no value to museums.

Nevertheless, there is a real danger, they contend, in damaging the sites and essentially destroying the historic record of where and how the items are found.

Savage says he is a lover of history, but he is also a lover of ent repreneu rsh ip a nd ma k ing money, as are the Spike TV executives. That’s fine. We believe that people have a right to do whatever law ful excavating of their own f lower beds that they want.

But we do wish the producers of shows that glorify it would seek out schooled archaeologists to cast a watchful eye and make records of the finds.

Nat iona l G eog raph ic T V is a lready heading in t his direction, having at least temporarily stopped airing its show until it has further meetings with archaeologists. Spike TV has vowed to continue without changes. The science of a rchaeolog y, w it h continually evolving techniques, is about research and discovery and is often about leaving things in the ground. As such, it’s at direct odds with artifact diggers.
