Hoodie march held to honor Trayvon Martin HOLLY H ARVEY
Senior Staff Writer More than 300 people clad in hoodie sweatshirts marched from the University Union to the Denton MLK Jr. Recreation Center on Sunday in protest of the killing of Trayvon Martin, a 17-year-old boy who was killed in Florida. The case has attracted national attention to Florida’s “Stand Your Ground Law,” which allows residents to defend themselves if they feel their life is endangered. Martin was wearing a hoodie and was unarmed when he died Feb. 26. Rally organizer Bredric Berry, an accounting junior, said the purpose of the rally was to bring attention to problems in the justice system. “Someone shouldn’t have to die to make people aware of problems,” Berry said. “We have
to make sure that this tragedy isn’t forgotten.” Hoodies became a symbol of Trayvon Martin after news personality Geraldo Rivera said Martin’s hoodie was just as responsible for his death as suspect George Zimmerman was, said rally organizer Troy Elliott, a music education freshman. Protesters also clutched bags of Skittles, the candy that was found on Martin. The rally started with a brief prayer, and organizers urged the crowd to sign letters asking for new police leadership in Martin’s case. As they marched down past the Union protesters chanted, “What do we want? Justice. When do we want it? Now.” Marchers displayed signs such as “Justice for Trayvon,” “Racism has no place in 2012” and “Murdered for being black.”
Elliott said the rally reached across racial boundaries. “This issue is not a racial issue,” El liott sa id. “It’s a human rights issue.” Denton resident Evely n Agen i koko had a “You ng, black, suspicious?” sign and said that rallies across the country were needed to show support for change. “If we want justice, we have to stand together,” Agenikoko said. E l l iot t sa id t he ju st ice system needs to be changed and that the community was coming together through the use of social media websites s u c h a s Fa c e b o o k a n d Twitter. “We can’t sit back and say this tragedy is OK,” Elliott sa id. “We’re show ing t hat students are not apathetic, and we care.”

Spanish prayer. Many stayed long after the memorial was over in groups hugging and exchanging stories of Chapa’s legacy.

Supreme Court OKs strip searches
( MC T ) WA SH I NG T ON – The Supreme Court refused Monday to limit strip searches of new jail inmates, even those arrested for minor traf f ic offenses. In a 5-4 ruling, the high court said jail guards needed the full authority to closely search everyone who is entering a jail in order to maintain safety and security. It would be “unworkable,� sa id Just ice A nt hony M. Kennedy, to make an exception for people who are arrested for

He then sued county jail officials for violating his privacy and subjecting him to a humiliating strip search. A judge ruled in his favor, but he lost before the U.S. Court of Appeals. In his opinion, Kennedy said violent criminals sometimes are arrested for minor traffic offenses. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. a nd Just ices A nton i n Scalia, Clarence Thomas and
Samuel A. Alito Jr. joined with Kennedy. In dissent, Justice Stephen G. Breyer said it was unreasonable to subject possibly innocent people to humiliating searches. “In my view, such a search of an individual arrested for a minor offense that does not involve drugs or violence is an unreasonable search forbidden by the 4th Amendment,� he wrote.

Students vote, chow down on edible literature A SHLEY GRANT
Senior Staff Writer UNT students brought a whole new meaning to the phrase “brain food� Monday afternoon for Willis Library’s ninth annual Edible Book Festival. These book-smart culinary artists submitted 15 different entries, including a batch of yellow cupcakes propped up on slender wooden sticks and topped with green sprinkles, white frosting and colorful feathers to represent the endangered truffula trees from Dr. Seuss’ “The Lorax.� “Participants can create edible works based on the concept of the book as an object or pieces of literature,� librarian Kristin Boyett said. “It’s their interpretation of books but as food.� A r t histor y sophomore Michelle Budet, creator of “The Lorax� cupcake display, heard about the event from one of her professors and thought it would be interesting to compete. “I love ‘The Lorax,’ and honestly, I found the idea on Pinterest [an online bulletin board],� she said. “It took me about three hours to make.�

Fashion merchandising senior Chelsea Thut passes by a cake inspired by the book “Holes,� created by business freshman Rebecca Blankenship, at the ninth annual Edible Book Festival held Monday in the Willis Library Forum. Thut said this was her favorite tasting cake. About 75 people filled the Willis Forum to view and taste the edible books, which were
made to look like everything from the actual book covers to scenes and themes pulled from
books of choice. The edible creations were mostly pastry-based, but the
“Green Eggs and Ham� entry gained awards in the “Best Non-Cake� and “Most Unusual Use of Food� categories. The festival also included free coffee, bottled water and fruit. Contestants entered in seven categories including “Best Children’s Book,� “Best Use of Chocolate� and “Best Tasting.� Students voted on small paper slips, which were then deposited into brown paper bags arranged by category. Criminal justice and rehabilitation Arlena Moonan enjoyed looking at the different entries and seeing just how creative students got with their designs. “There’s a lot of original stuff going on here,� Moonan said. “My favorite was ‘Holes,’ because you got it right away.� Business freshman Rebecca Blankenship said it took two hours to complete the edible scene based on Louis Sachar’s “Holes,� which was topped with Oreo cookie crumbles made to resemble dirt and featured a plastic shovel protruding from the cake. Two lizards sat on each side. “I chose it because it’s pretty
much the best book ever,� she said. After the judging, students grabbed paper plates and utensils for the most anticipated part of the festival: the tasting. Boyett said they tr y to schedule the festival on April 1, the birthday of French author Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, who wrote a book about food titled “Physiologie de gout.� Since April Fool’s Day fell on a Sunday this year, the event was rescheduled for Monday. The Edible Book Festival started in 2000 and was previously held in the small rare books room upstairs at the library. Since the event has grown in both participants and viewers, it was moved to the larger downstairs forum last year. Boyett said the move also helped with visibility. For next year’s festival, Boyett said she hopes to incorporate both a more professional and more amateur category. “My big dream next to the professional category would be a junior category so we could see what kids under 18 could come up with,� she said.
Artist immerses self in Mexican culture A LISON M ATLOCK Staff Writer
She grabs a greasy black pencil and draws a woman from a Mexican folk song on a block of limestone before rolling ink over the limestone rock, completing her latest work. Second-year graduate student Linda Santana, 26, who has practiced printmaking for eight years, leaves for Mexico today for the second time this semester. She will spend three weeks doing cultural research and printmaking. Santana, who said she’s the only UNT student to study in Mexico this year, wants to bring attention to forgotten folk songs through her artwork and inspire more people to study in Mexico. “Everyone seemed really excited to get this exchange started, so I went down there to really promote exchange,� Santana said. While in Mexico, Santana works with professors at UNAM, the National Autonomous University of Mexico. They primarily research stones: their chemical makeup and how they can be used for lithography, a type of planographic – printing from a flat surface – printmaking process that Santana focuses on, she said. “I actually did lithography on Mexican marble while I was there, and that was a big deal for me because it’s not something you can do up here in the United States,� Santana said. “It’s something very unique to Mexico.� Santana benefits from seeing what role prints have played in Mexican history, said art history professor Kelly DonahueWallace, coordinator for the Interdisciplinary Art and Design Studies Program. “The opportunity to work in Mexico has been invaluable for Linda. Her work engages themes drawn from Mexican culture,� Donahue-Wallace said. “So this time in Toluca, Mexico City and the Yucatan will enrich her understanding of this culture and will provide her with new questions to address.� Santana’s 2011 collaborative work for the La Calaca Press International Exchange was published last February in Grafilia, a magazine from Guadalajara, Mexico. “It’s time consuming, but I kind of find it therapeutic,� Santana said. “It’s hard to have time for other things.� Santana has spent most of her life with the Mexican folk songs

While growing up in California, her family would dance to these traditional songs. Cat Snapp, a third-year MFA candidate in printmaking, said Santana was interested in more than what these historical folk singers have become a symbol of. “She is interested in restoring a portrait of someone whose story is lost or altered over the passage of time,� Snapp said. “I love that it is important to her to excavate and reassemble someone’s identity through her research of Mexican folk songs.� Santana has taught a couple of semesters of drawing and in May will teach bas-relief, a sculpture technique, at UNT. “She is passionate about drawing and printmaking, which
is evident when she talks about her work and art in general,� Snapp said. “It is easy to see that she not only cares greatly about art but also about sharing her love for it with others.� She would like to continue teaching after graduate school, Santana said. She eventually wants to own her own press. “If I can make a living off my artwork, that would be ideal,� Santana said. “I’ll aim for that, and I’d like to travel some more.� Snapp has enjoyed seeing Santana’s work develop during her time in Mexico. “I’ve already seen the influence the first part of her trip has had on her work, and I can’t wait to see what will emerge once she’s able to reflect on her trip,� Snapp said. “I already see a whole new dimension of her work developing.�

Operation Mitzvah helps North Texas charities LORYN THOMPSON Contributing Writer
Shari Esquenazi was the only member of Operation Mitzvah last summer when she started the organization to make care packages for U.S. soldiers in Israel. Today Operation Mitzvah is a registered UNT student organization with about 50 members. The group coordinates at least one service project a month and volunteers at various campus events. “The amount of interest and dedication from the students has been phenomenal,” said Esquenazi, a philosophy and anthropology junior. The organization’s name and mission come from the Hebrew word “mitzvah,” which refers to a Jewish moral obligation to do good deeds. When Esquenazi was growing up, her family did yearly mitzvah projects. Now, Esquenazi can’t get enough. “I’ve been fortunate, and I want to share that as much as I can,” she said. History senior Cameron Lucks is the creative director for Operation Mitzvah. “I’ve known Shari for a long time, and when she asked me to help out I was more than willing,”

Operation Mitzvah members (from left to right) pre-international studies sophomore Grecia Rangel, pre-psychology freshman Nikita Suri, philosophy and anthropology junior Shari Esquenazi and English senior Jacqueline Farris register bone marrow donors March 14 at the Library Mall in honor of a UNT student who has leukemia. he said. “It’s really great to be a part of the community.” Since becoming an official organization in January, Operation Mitzvah has collected 25 cell phones for sexual abuse victims in February, registered 35 bone marrow donors in March and volunteered at events such as UNT’s Dance Marathon and The Big Event. Esquenazi said many of the projects are health-related, such as the upcoming Bingo for
Boobies, a combination brunch, bingo tournament and raffle on April 15. Tickets are $10, and all proceeds will be donated to the Dallas-based Bridge Breast Network, a nonprofit organization that provides breast cancer resources to low-income or uninsured individuals. Esquenazi said about $200 worth of prizes had been donated to the event by companies such as Strikz, a family entertainment center in Frisco.
Beth Rose, a sales representative at Strikz, said she donated to Operation Mitzvah to support the Jewish community and philanthropy in the area. “I believe everybody kind of helps everybody,” she said. “If you can help people out, why not?” Esquenazi said she is especially proud that the Jewishinspired Operation Mitzvah has members from diverse religious, cultural and academic back-
grounds. “We have Christians, Muslims, Hindus, atheists and agnostics,” she said. “Although we’re a Jewish-inspired group, we’re not exclusive, and we try to incorporate our projects to reflect that.” Esquenazi hopes Operation Mitzvah will spread to other universities and potentially become a national, universitybased organization. She said students at Texas Women’s
University and the University of Texas at Dallas are interested in beginning their own chapters, including UTD student Shameer Dhaliwal. Dhaliwal, who designed the Operation Mitzvah logo, said he likes working with Operation Mitzvah because it’s a smaller group. “Every person makes more of a difference,” he said. “With the bigger groups, they’ve been doing a great job, but if you go or you don’t go the success of the group isn’t dependent on it.” A nt hropolog y professor Beverly Davenport, Operation Mitzvah’s faculty advisor, said she was impressed by the group’s ability to coordinate many projects. “Other service organizations might hope to accomplish three things over a semester, and they’ve already done more than that,” Davenport said. Other upcoming spring semester events include a blood drive, a school supply drive and a summer camp equipment drive. The next Operation Mitzvah general meeting is 5 p.m. tonight in the Business Leadership Building room 040, and the group can be found on Facebook.
Art students get statewide recognition at exhibit EMILY PEEK Intern
The Texas art world may want to keep its eyes on five UNT students featured at an exhibit in Rockport last month. The “Rising Eyes of Texas” exhibition, which ran from March 7 to March 31, accepted work from 19 universities and 40 artists from around the state. Held by the Rockport Center for the Arts – about a sevenhour drive south of Denton – the annual exhibition awards prizes, sells student work and allows artists to receive valuable feedback. “Above and beyond all that we look for are students that are starting to develop their own voice, and that is really what this exhibition is about,” said John Aast, the visual arts director at the art center and curator of the exhibition. The exhibition was given prime placement in the main gallery of the arts center and was

Jurors accepted work from undergraduate and graduate students, and individual artists could decide if they wanted their work up for sale, Aast said. If a piece is sold, the artist gets 65 percent of the money, with the
rest going to the art center and its state-of-the-art gallery. “We are one of the few exhibitions that has the best scope,” Aast said. “We try to create an opportunity for students who may have never exhibited outside the college atmosphere.”
Marcos Hernandez, a UNT studio art graduate who graduated in the fall, had two pieces of work in the exhibition and said he was honored for his work to be included. Third-year studio art graduate student Irby Pace said it was his
second time to be included in the “Rising Eyes of Texas” exhibit. “It is interesting to be a part of a group exhibition with all of the talented artists,” Pace said. “It is always nice to see what all the artists are doing and be a part of it.” The prize juror was Colette Copeland this year, a multimedia artist who writes for the art magazines Glasstire and Afterimage. Each year a different juror is invited to come and award students for their work. Each juror has a different specialty and looks for different things but overall is seeking original voice and quality, Aast said. “I think that people can benefit from having work in the show since it is juried, and I think it is a good experience especially for the undergraduates to apply,” Pace said.

UNT Health Center introduces Pap packages ETHAN HEALY
Contributing Writer At the beginning of March the UNT Health and Wellness Center introduced new “Pap packages” for female students.
T he Pap packages g roup together important testing for STDs and other ailments with a Pap smear so that students can have all the tests done together to save time and money.
In the past when female students would get Pap smears, the need for additional testing would be determined based on each individual student’s health, which could lead to a longer, more expensive process. Kerry Stanhope, administrative outreach supervisor at the Health and Wellness Center, said the new package plans provide a less expensive testing
different levels. Pap Package I includes a Pap smear and testing for gonorrhea and chlamydia, and Pap Package II has additional testing for anemia, HIV and urinary infections. Pap Package III includes testing for blood count, blood sugar, total cholesterol, and liver and kidney functions, and Pap Package IV includes testing for syphilis in addition to the tests available in package III. Since the Health and Wellness Center added a gynecologist to its staff in September, they have been pretty booked with Pap appointments, Stanhope said. To make setting an appointment easier, appointments can be scheduled through the center’s online portal. “It’s very important, it’s part of routine women’s healthcare,” said Dr. Cynthia Hermann, the center’s gynecologist. “It’s a great time to do patient educaUNIONMASTERPLAN tion, inform patients of what’s going on, discuss birth control options.” The Pap packages are a good option for students who are paying cash and don’t want to file a claim on their parents’ or their own insurance, Hermann said.

method. “We’re trying to make it easier for students to get in and get seen for it and also trying to provide options for them that are also cheaper than having to go elsewhere,” Stanhope said.

to Planned Parenthood if you are paying cash, according to Hermann. Hermann has opened her schedule up so that students are able to get same-day appoi nt ments, ma k i ng it easier for students to get their Pap appointments or birth control counseling done while managing a busy schedule. In addition to just getting a Pap smear or an annual checkup, birth control counseling is available to students to find out what method of birth control would be best fit for them. The center has multiple options for birth control, including pills or intrauterine devices, a method of birth control that is placed in the uterus. “We’ve got lots of great birth control options out there and not just the pill,” Hermann said. “We go over the pluses and minuses of each one and then kind of find what’s going to work best for that particular student, and that’s something I really think is important.” More information on pricing can be found on the Health and Wellness Center’s website under the educational resources tab at healthcenter.unt.edu.

White shines for Mean Green at Texas Relays Track ZACH CLAUSSEN Staff Writer
The Mean Green track and field team made history over the weekend at the Texas Relays, as junior Steven White became the first member of the team to become a Texas Relays champion since 1981 Saturday at the Mike A. Meyers Track Stadium in Austin. Head coach Carl Sheffield and the track and field team were unavailable for comment. W hite led t he way for the Mean Green, running a scorching time of 50.53 seconds in the men’s 400-meter hurdles. His time broke his own school record in the event, which he set last Thursday with a time of 50.75 seconds. His performance was also strong enough to register a “B” cut for the Olympic Trials, meaning he will go to Eugene, Ore., in June with a chance to qualify for the 2012 Olympic Games, which will be held this summer in London. T he spr i nter’s t i me is currently ranked third in the NCAA and the fifth fastest time in the entire world to date. International competition is nothing new for White, who ran for the U.S. Junior Team at the World Junior Championships in the same event back in 2010. Other than White, success was hard to come by for UNT, as the team competed against track powerhouses LSU, Texas and Texas A&M, among others. In total, there were more than 25 nationally ranked track teams in town for the Texas Relays.

Junior Deonna Stafford sprints during practice in preparation for Saturday’s North Texas Invitation at Fouts Field. During the Texas Relays, Stafford participated in the 100-meter and 4x400-meter races. The team finished its 124 events over the three-day meet with three top-10 finishes. Junior distance runner Matt Russ, who was the only other UNT men’s track and field member to earn a top-10 result, finished seventh overall in the men’s 1,500-meter run. The Mean Green women were led by senior distance runner Sara Dietz, who placed eighth overall in the women’s
1500-meter with a time of 4:30.48 minutes. Freshman Jo Adams was right behind Dietz with a 10th place finish in the 1500-meter run and a time of 4:32.67 minutes. UNT returns to the track for its only home meet of the season on Saturday, when the team hosts the North Texas Spring Classic at Fouts Field.
UNT shows improvement in first spring tournament Volleyball JOSH FRIEMEL Staff Writer
Although the objective of the tournament wasn’t to win, the UNT volleyball team still had some success at the Houston Juniors College Invitational last weekend, its first action since last November. For head coach Ken Murczek, the tournament served as an opportunity for new players to play positions they didn’t have much experience in. “It was awesome,” he said. “It exceeded my expectations in terms of the first competition of the spring while not competing against anyone this season.” UNT played four, one-hour long matches defeating host Houston 2-0 and Sam Houston 2-1. The team went 0-2 against both Rice and Baylor. Stats were not kept during the tournament. The Mean Green debuted two new players in sophomore South Carolina transfer Hannah Forst and redshirt freshman Annalisse Shannon. “It was like a new team out there,” Murczek said. “I was glad to see them rewarded for working real hard in the spring.” Shannon tore her anterior cruciate ligament, meniscus and medial collateral ligament in her knee last year in her last club game before the Mean Green’s season started. She missed the entire year after surgery on July 19. “It felt weird at first, almost like I didn’t belong on the floor,” she said. “But then I finally got back into it, and it was just amazing. I’ve missed it.” D u r i ng t he of f sea son, Murczek had the team up at

A f ter w i n n i ng just one conference series last season, the UNT softball team used late-ga me heroics to w i n two of three games against the Western Kentucky Lady Toppers to take its second series win of the season. The third game of the series ended in a draw because of the drop-dead time rule put in place before the game. “This tea m is def initely fighting to the end and not giving up on anything,” head coach T.J. Hubbard said. “We just have to do a better job at controlling earlier in the games so the games don’t have to come down to high pressure situations.”
Saturday In the first game of UNT’s eight-game home stand, WKU (21-14-1, 4-4-1) scored five runs in the top of the inning to take a 8-4 lead, but UNT responded with a five run inning, capped off by a pinch-hit walk-off two-RBI double by sophomore

The Mean Green will next play in the UTA Tournament on April 14. 5:30 a.m. working out and lifting weights four days out of the week. Shannon said she can tell the workouts have paid off because of her increase in strength. For not having played with one another for very long, the team’s chemistry was already strong, and it showed by the amount of fun that the team had while playing, Murczek said. “We were already a really
close group to begin with, but the tournament helped knowing that we can trust each other,” Shannon said. “We’re close, and we can rely on each other.” T he Me a n Gr e en i s allowed four competition dates in the spring, with Houston counting as the first of the season.

April Fool’s Day provided a softball rarity, as the Mean Green and the Lady Toppers played to a 6-6 tie, the first in UNT history. Before t he f irst pitch at noon, a drop-dead time rule of 2:30 p.m. was set because of the Lady Toppers having to catch their f light home in time. Minutes before the game’s time limit, sophomore catcher Ashley McCarroll sent a twoball, two-strike pitch over the left field wall for her seventh home run of the season to tie the game at six. “I really like being in those high-pressure situations, and I knew I needed to be there for my team and make something happen,” McCarroll said. “It was a good pitch to hit, and I knew it was out. It felt perfect off the bat.” T he Me a n Gr e en w i l l continue its home stand when it welcomes the FAU Owls to Denton for a three-game series starting Friday.
Texas has made an appearance in the NCAA Tournament each of Goestenkor’s five years with the team. The Longhorns finished 18-14 last season before being bounced out of the NCAA Tournament in the first round. Aston was introduced as the
UNT women’s basketball head coach last April and guided UNT to a 15-16 record a season after the Mean Green went 5-25. UNT won a Su n Belt Conference Tournament game and fell by one point in the quarterfinals to Florida Atlantic.

Comparing SGA’s presidential candidates The election for Student Government Association president and vice president kicked off Monday. In a roundtable discussion, the North Texas Daily Editorial Board sat down with presidential candidates Morgan Ray and Rudy Reynoso with their respective vice presidential candidates Adam Hasley and Justin Wood. Both candidates made it clear that their primary goal was getting UNT students more involved in student organizations. As such, the Daily evaluated the candidates’ answers on three key issues facing students: budgeting, parking and the new student Union.
Student Union Construction on the new Union will displace both Stovall and Scoular halls, and the administration has no longterm plans beyond temporary buildings for the College of Visual Arts and
Design and the Dance Department, which are housed there. Wood said he couldn’t make guarantees to the student body because that would lead to a “slippery slope.” Instead, he acknowledged that he and Reynoso want students to know the Union was an investment, and that they plan to follow through with the administration’s current arrangement. Hasley did offer a guarantee; student input will be heard, and they will remain informed throughout the process. Neither side could offer a plan for new CVAD and Dance buildings beyond lobbying for funding at Capitol Day. Because of Ray and Hasley’s approach of speaking with the students rather than to the students, they could have a slight edge on the issue.
Parking Regarding parking, both sides had said they planned on working with Ginny Griffin, associate director of parking and transportation services, on taking out meters along Welch Street and changing those spots to permit parking. Beyond Griffin’s proposed plans, Wood stated that he and Reynoso hope to create a temporary discount on the usually vacant parking garage to offer a better parking option for students, making it a potential win-win. For that, the parking issue leans in favor of Reynoso and Wood.
Budgeting/Fiscal Policy Ray a nd Hasley have a ver y detailed plan in regards to SGA’s budget. They plan to reallocate $20,000
in the budget into SGA programs like Eagle’s Nest, Raupe Travel Grants, and Co-Sponsorships, which directly benefit student organizations. To do this, they plan to combine paid positions, dropping their own pay down to $9.50 an hour and alleviating the burden of the combined positions by increasing student volunteering. Reynoso and Wood didn’t have as detailed of a fiscal plan. They believe that $20,000 should remain in SGA hands and that combining positions would over-burden employees. Neither addressed the increased ef forts on beha lf of volunteers compensat i ng for t hat lack of manpower. For their preparedness, planning and financial respect for other organizations, this issue is a clear win for Ray and Hasley.

Students must strive for independence to remain alive Last night, while searching for hamburger recipes on the Internet, I came to the startling realization that I am a feminist. Well, at least in the dictionary sense. My friend Webster calls feminism “the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes,” and I was shocked to find that I didn’t object to a single aspect of this definition. What happened to the bra-burning, manhating, unshaven bogeywomen I’d been taught as a male to see as a threat to my survival? Such an epiphany will undoubtedly influence my perception of the world, especially considering my status as a young (arguably boilerplate) white man on campus. How could I go on, knowing that the ever-present framing of patriarchal domination influences my actions and decisions? Though my grasp of the academic language surrounding the subject remains sophomoric, the problem of my own existence preventing the empowerment of women around me remains crystal clear. I have thus resolved to educate myself on the subject until I reach a degree of familiarity allowing me to not only understand the big words involved but to pronounce them as well. Anyway, while I’m researching, I’d like to give a piece of advice to my fellow students, including those who might fancy themselves feminists: learn to cook. Now, don’t jump on me all at once. I understand that cooking, cleaning and reproduction are the standard triad feminists reference as the dominant methods used by males to keep women down, and I applaud efforts to subvert such basic stereotypes. However, it is
entirely unhealthy for an independent individual – empowered female or otherwise – to lack such a basic skill. I’ve cooked for others and myself for many years, and I’m continually disappointed by the amazed reactions of my friends when I reveal this fact. Cooking is a seemingly foreign curiosity in the collegiate world of dining halls and fast food consumed between study sessions, but learning to do so is one of the many lines in the sand one must cross in order to become, in my opinion, a full-fledged adult. If you’re a feminist, consider the lack of independence inherent in ordering food from a set menu undoubtedly chosen by a man, especially if you’re being forced to repeat this order twice to an apathetic teen through a drivethru microphone. If you’re a male, isn’t it kind of pathetic to helplessly rely on someone else to cook your food? Either way, it’s certainly food for thought! Don’t worry, I’m ashamed of myself, too.

Voters should use voice, however small they think it is It’s that time of year again, folks. SGA elections are upon us. Aside from the standard “vote for your college’s senator” and “pick a bunch of ‘famous’ people to come and talk about stuff” decisions, this time around we have presidential elections and the infamous Union funding referendum. Now you may not think these options mean anything, but believe me, they do. Once upon a time, you came to school, you did what you were told, and you got a diploma. In those days, you didn’t get a say on whether or not the school built a new union, because it just happened. You didn’t get a choice on who would be the liaison between the university and the students (as the SGA president is) because there wasn’t one. There was a significant line between administrators and students, and the higher-ups didn’t care to bridge the gap. The counterculture changed that. Between 1963 and 1975, various student-led movements sprouted on campuses across America. It started with the Civil Rights movement, then the anti-Vietnam protests, then women’s rights. The protests showed that students had voices and the administration needed to listen. Slowly but surely, students gained more control over the affairs of their university. Student-led government associations become the norm in the 1990s, and soon students were given direct access into the inner workings of the university system. Voter apathy is high on every level, and it inevitably leads to complaints
from the electorate about the policies of the president. Of all people, college students should understand the importance of making their voice heard so that their college has the best government possible. Furthermore, students have incredibly high efficacy in a student election due to the relatively few number of votes. Voting in a student election is a great way to have an impact on very important issues. Yes, I understand there’s a bit of a difference between Civil Rights and a new Union, but without the former we wouldn’t be able to have a say over the latter. We must continue to raise our voices and show the school our wishes. By failing to participate in school elections, regardless of how trivial you may believe them to be, you undermine the work that was done by your predecessors. Exercise your right to choose and go vote. When you don’t, it becomes easier and easier to lose that right.

UNT looks to rebound after extended break Tennis TYLER OWENS Staff Writer
The No. 58 Mean Green tennis team is preparing for its first match since it dropped a heartbreaker to the Wichita State Shockers on March 17.
