Construction workers Jose Tinajera and Jose Plaza work on the ramp of the pedestrian bridge, which will link the UNT campus to the new Apogee Stadium. The bridge will not be open in time for UNT’s September home games.
Opening of bridge to Apogee Stadium delayed DANIEL BISSELL Intern
The opening of the pedestrian bridge connecting UNT’s main campus to Apogee Stadium has been delayed until at least October. The bridge, originally scheduled to open Sept. 8, will likely still be under construction during UNT football’s two home games in September, said Helen Bailey, director of facilities management and construction. “We do not have a definitive opening date at this time,” Bailey said. The $2.5 million project, which
straddles the highway between North Texas Boulevard and Bonnie Brae Street, began Feb. 29. The university paid $1 million of the bill and donated the adjacent land to the state – the Texas Department of Transportation covered the rest through toll revenue from throughout the region. TxDOT is responsible for the construction of the bridge itself. UNT is responsible for installing lighting and sidewalks, which must be completed before the bridge can officially open to the public. TxDOT shut down Interstate 35E
overnight to install the main structure in July but still has to build railings and complete additional welding, Bailey said. “Once TxDOT finishes the bridge, we have to build sidewalks to connect it,” she said. “We plan to start immediately after the bridge is completed, which will hopefully be in the latter half of September.” The finished bridge will span 354 feet across the interstate and will provide UNT football fans with a safer and quicker alternative to crossing via North Texas Boulevard
or Bonnie Brae Street. It will also relieve some of the notorious game day congestion that occurs on those streets during Mean Green football, Bailey said. Thousands of people are expected to use the bridge on game days. “We’re anticipating two kinds of uses for the bridge: daily use and game days,” Bailey said. “Daily use will probably not exceed a couple hundred, but we could see several thousand people crossing it on game days.” Some students expressed dissat-
isfaction with the bridge’s delayed opening. “I think there could be a more efficient way of building the bridge,” psychology senior Alex Schluter said. “This makes all involved in its construction appear to have a lack of foresight and abundant laziness.” The original scheduled opening date of Sept. 8 would have coincided with UNT’s first home game against Texas Southern, but football fans will have to continue using old crossing routes for now. “I think that building the pedes-
trian bridge was a good idea,” Schluter said, but expressed concern that the delayed opening would decrease student attendance at home games. UNT and TxDOT are pushing ahead to complete the bridge and sidewalks as soon as possible, ideally in time for the Oct. 16 football game against the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, which will be nationally broadcast on ESPN2. “The construction of the bridge is nearing completion,” Bailey said. “But construction takes time. We will have it operating as soon as we can.”
UNT prepares to kick campus smoking habit JASON YANG
Senior Staff Writer UNT Denton will start transitioning to a smoke-free campus with a six-month trial period beginning Jan. 1, 2013, university officials said. Student Government Association President Rudy Reynoso said the trial period will be used to inform students about the smoking ban and make adjustments to the university’s official policy, which will go into effect next June. The campus’ smoke-free future was first announced by UNT President V. Lane Rawlins in May. “The single motivation of this ban is so we don’t endanger the students, faculty and staff, and visitors’ health,” Rawlins said. SGA failed to pass a smoking ban referendum during the fall 2011 semester, but the ban gained momentum following university research into the adverse health effects of secondhand smoke and a survey of students and faculty conducted by the university in the spring. The survey polled 528 students and 307 faculty and staff members. The result: 72 percent of students and 78 percent of facult y and staff were in favor of a smoke-free campus. Rawlins said the entire process will be examined by a policy committee made of different
campus groups. Although the committee is still working out logistics and nothing has been made official, Rawlins said the new policy will remove ashtrays from campus and will permit the use of electronic cigarettes, which produce water vapor instead of smoke. Students, faculty and staff will also be allowed to smoke in automobiles on campus if the vehicle’s windows are up. The ban will have no effect on tuition, and UNT will offer smoking-cessation programs to student smokers, including a free starter kit for students trying to kick the habit. Enforcement of the policy will rely on communication and voluntary compliance rather than punishment, Rawlins said. If self-enforcement isn’t found to be effective, the university will revisit the issue. UNT will join more than 700 universities around the U.S. that have banned smoking on campus in the last several years, including the University of Texas and Texas State. In Febr uar y, the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas announced a new policy for schools eligible to receive funds, calling for tobacco-free zones around university research buildings. UNT receives about $200,000 a year from the Institute
for prostate cancer research in the Life Sciences Complex. Students opposed to the looming change s for me d a Facebook group, “UNT Students Against a Smoking Ban,” which has about 630 members. The group, which welcomes both smokers and non-smokers, states that its objective isn’t to completely stop the ban but to reach a compromise that could include designated smoking areas. “If they don’t want the hazard of secondhand smoke, why smoke in your car with your windows up,” said mathematics junior Abby Martin, a member of the group. “Not to mention students’ safety just to have a cigarette away from campus.” Reynoso said drafting and executing the policy were two separate and difficult issues. “ With such a dramat ic change, I know a lot of students won’t be happy with the ban,” Reynoso said. “But I look at this more as an investment. It’ll dip initially but the return will be greater.” He said st udents w ith suggestions about the smokefree policy should call SGA at 940-565-3850 or visit Office 320S in the Union.

Denton Mayor Mark Burroughs and City Attorney Anita Burgess pose questions to health professionals in an emergency city council meeting Monday morning at City Hall to discuss aerial spraying for the West Nile Virus.
Denton declines aerial spraying for West Nile BEN PEYTON Staff Writer
The city of Denton will not participate in countywide aerial mosquito spraying to combat a record-setting outbreak of the West Nile Virus, which will begin for at least 26 of Denton County’s municipalities Thursday night. The city council voted 4-1 to opt out of the spraying in an emergency meeting Monday morning, prompted by County Judge Mary Horn’s order last week that called for countywide aerial spraying but
left the decision to participate up to individual cities. Denton County has recorded 128 West Nile cases so far this year, including two deaths, both attributed to elderly residents with previous health conditions. D e nt on C o u nt y He a lt h Depar t ment Dire c tor Bing Burton, who recommended the aerial spraying, said he believed the county had the highest rate of cases in the state. “We can’t prevent this disease, we don’t have a vaccine for it,
there’s nothing we can do to make it go away and when people do get sick with it, medicine doesn’t have a very competent cure for it,” Burton said. Denton began f ighting the virus with vehicle-based ground spraying in targeted neighborhoods with a particularly high incidence rate in late June, said Ken Banks, the city’s environmental director.

Virus Continued from Page 1 Denton relies on the same controversial pesticide used in aerial spraying, Duet, but airborne delivery would dramatically increase its spread. According to Duet Pesticide Company’s website, bees and aquatic organisms such as fish and aquatic invertebrates are especially v ulnerable to negative effects, but the low doses of pesticides used pose minimal risk to humans.
However, the number of documented cases of West Nile in the county continues to rise. A central Denton neighborhood – blocked between Audra Lane, Stockton Street, Bayfield Street and Paisley Street – was scheduled for ground-spraying late Tuesday night, and the two latest cases of West Nile in the county were reported Tuesday morning. According to UNT R isk Management Services, the university has set up nontoxic mosquito traps in standing water found on campus, and has begun applying a nontoxic, garlic-based mosquito deterrent in advance of outdoor
UNT events. “ We’ve never had anything close to this level of positive graphs or human cases,” Banks said at Monday’s emergency meeting. “We are in completely uncharted territory.” Denton Count y is excluded from paying expenses in the midst of a health emergency, and all countywide mosquito mitigation efforts via aerial spraying will be funded by the state. The aerial spraying of select area s in Denton Count y is expected to cost $1 million, Burton said. If the cit y of Denton were to later act alone on a similar

plan, it would cost an estimated $250,000, Mayor Mark Burroughs said. Aerial pesticide spraying is targeted only at mosquitos but is considered a last resort because of its unintended impact on other species of animals and the environment, and because it is the least effective form of mosquito mitigation. According to Duet Pesticide Company, bees and aquatic organisms such as f ish and aquatic invertebrates are especially v ulnerable, but the low doses of pesticides used pose minimal risk to humans.

toward any additional preventive measures. “I believe it is worthwhile for us to see how effective [aerial spraying] is on a county level and take our program and continue it, to focus it and to be very aggressive here in the cit y limits,” Burroughs said.
concerned Denton County residents, “Don’t Spray On Us,” attracted almost 1,000 members in 24 hours. About 20 members of the group presented a plan to the cit y council Monday morning highlighting the negative effects of pesticides on the environment and the high expenses of spraying. Group member Michael Olaya said the threat of West Nile had been overstated. “The media has sensationalized it,” Olaya said. “There has definitely been a lot of fear which leads to pretty bad decisions.” Burroughs said the city would take a wait-and-see attit ude

Callahan was one of Farmer’s professors while she was studying at UNT. “I think it’s important to never forget where we came from,” she said.
UNT cuts ribbon at Kristin Farmer Autism Center A SHLEY GRANT SENIOR STAFF WRITER
More than 150 people gathered at the ribbon-cutting ceremony Saturday for the unveiling of UNT’s newest addition, the Kristin Farmer Autism Center, located at 490 S. Interstate-35E Frontage Rd. Prior to the traditional ribboncutting, UNT President V. Lane Rawlins, the center’s executive director Kev in Callahan and chief benefactor Kristin Farmer brief ly addressed the audience about the project, which has been in the works for more than a decade.
“With the center’s opening I hope to make a bigger difference in autism studies one family, one student at a time,” Farmer said during her speech. Following the speech, t wo handcrafted cr ystal bookends were presented to Farmer on behalf of the university for her dedication to the cause and her willingness to give back to her alma mater. The center will offer a wide range of programs, including full-time individualized educational services and therapeutic services such as physical, music and speech therapy.
“...I hope to make a bigger difference one family, one student at a time”
-Kristin Farmer
Callahan said once the center is up and running, he expects to employ a staff of 20 well-trained individuals. Ac k now le d g i ng Fa r me r ’s generous gifts to the center, Callahan declined to say specifically how much the center cost. The 20,000-square-foot center comes with more than a dozen
classrooms as well as two apartments, which will be used to house clients from out of town. The center also hopes to serve as a cutting-edge research facility and training site for those seeking to study autism, a neurodevelopmental disorder causing communication, socialization and behavioral withdrawals.

in 88 Americans are diagnosed with the disorder, and its cause and cure are unknown. Behavior analysis associate profe s s or R ick Sm ith sa id UNT’s involvement in studying autism dates back to the 1970s, with research, faculty work and assessments as an important focus. Farmer said she discovered that working with individuals diagnosed with autism was her calling after she taught a student to say “I love you” to his mother. “After she heard him say it for the first time it just brought tears to her eyes,” Farmer said.
For Farmer, autism research was no longer just a profession, but a passion. In 1995, she said she contacted Callahan, her former professor at UNT, with hopes that he would be on board with her idea to open a center in Denton serving individuals diagnosed with autism and their families. She said she hopes that the center, which will be used by UNT’s College of Education as well as the speech and language depa r t ment a nd p s ycholog y depar t ment, w i l l ser ve a s a b e a c on of mu lt id is cipl ina r y light in North Texas.

The Pirate’s Revenge offers an exciting thrill for freshmen Jasmin Williams, Brittany Marks and Briana Baisey.
Students flock to the Library Mall and the Campus Green for the Mean Green Fling on Tuesday. Vendors such as Jimmy Johns, businesses such as Target and campus organizations welcomed students back with freebies, coupons, promotions and more.
Annual fling sees new changes, welcomes students NADIA HILL
Senior Staff Writer
Hundreds of freshmen and upperclassmen flocked to the Mean Green Fling yesterday evening for free food, supplies and a chance to meet new people. The three-hour, $40,000 event consisted of 130 student organizations and 95 sponsors sprawled across the Library Mall and Campus Green and provided students with their first opportunity to get involved with campus life. “It’s important to have a big kickoff to start making
connections in an easy, laidback way,” Student Activities Director Tracy Frier said. “Nobody wants to sit in their room and do nothing. This gives students the chance to start the school year off right.” Frier revved up this year’s f ling in hopes of increasing last year’s 8,000-student attendance record. In an effort to be more sustainable and decrease food waste, Frier nixed the fullmeal option for lighter, colder options, and moved the organization and sponsor applications online.
“I want them to walk away having made a connection.”
-Tracy Frier, Student Activities Director
Festivities included a pirate ship, live band and a food tent serving Gatorade, slushies and fruit. Students roamed from tent to tent, signing up for organizations and making new connections. “It’s hard to just go up to someone and be friends with
them,” said Lupe Zabata, a radio, television and film junior and transfer student. “ This is way better than I thought it would be though. I think I’ll get plugged in.” While students searched for a place to belong, organizations were just as eager to recruit new members. Some
handed out coupons, free food or prizes while others relied on curious passersby. Mueve, an activist group focused on fighting racism against Latinos on campus, shared a table with another organization and had t wo members present to represent the group. Mueve off icer and prepsycholog y senior A naisa Garza, has participated in Mean Green Fling before and knows how to spot engaged and interested students. “We love doing these events because everyone can see us
and we can see them,” Garza said. “It can be dif f icult because everyone is looking for a good time and a free pencil, but I think people miss having deep conversations. We get people who are interested in change.” In addition to music and cold treats Frier hopes the event fostered communit y among students. “I want them to walk away having made a connection,” Frier said. “The initial appeal is the free stuff, but this event showcases what we have.”

Female rockers hope to inspire with their music ERIKA L AMBRETON Staff Photographer
Denton is often referred to as a smaller Austin and has become a stage on which local musical talents can perform and inspire audiences from around North Texas. Inspiration and empowerment are just some of the ideals that are a driving force behind Denton Babe Bash, a show comprised of three female-led bands that will take place at 9 p.m. Friday at Hailey’s Club. “This is one of the only events that I know of in town that has been centralized on female-based [performances],” said Ray Gill Jr., owner and operating manager of Hailey’s. “These are quality female bands.” The three bands performing at the event include The Red Death and Sol Tax of Denton and The Please, Please Me of Austin. Gill, a UNT alumnus, said he hopes the show will bring in a more diverse crowd. “It’s not geared toward any [one] kind of group,” he said. “I don’t see a reason why they wouldn’t draw in a large audience.” Painting and drawing senior Kitty Holt, lead singer of The Red Death, said she met Sol Tax lead singer Sydney Wright while bartending at Hailey’s, Wright was working as a freelance sound engineer for Hailey’s, and together the two women came up with the idea for a female-led show.

Wright, a UNT alumna, was in a Runaways cover band last Halloween and said she felt inspired by the 1970s all-girl punk band. “It was fun,” she said. “We like seeing girls with enough confidence to lead, and we want to promote that.” Wr ight a l s o approa che d The Please, Please Me, a band

Torrisi, who was on tour on the East Coast recently, said she was excited to return to Denton, a city she truly loves. “I grew up in [Philadelphia], lived in New York City and finally moved to Austin in 2009,” Torrisi said. “Denton is another city that I can truly resonate with.” Torrisi hopes to speak to the
audience through her music, which she said speaks for itself. “I try to convey a boldness and courage of one’s desires and dreams,” she said. “[Because] people tend to sleepwalk through their lives.” Wright said that the Denton Babe Bash is an opportunity for like-minded people to gather and share ideas and she and Holt hope the event will continue to grow.
“We want to promote female representation of an art that has been dominated by males,” she said. “It’s like a different color, a different perspective on music.” Tickets for the 21-and-older show can be purchased online at dentonbabebash.eventbrite.com or for $5 at the doors.

“Lawless” deemed ferociously entertaining Opinion
PRESTON BARTA Intern
John Hi l lc oat ’s bloody Prohibition thriller “Lawless” moves at full tilt and is jam-packed with first-rate performances from actors and actresses alike. This very impressive film, which is sure to be an Oscar contender, depicts the 1920s Prohibition era of the United States seamlessly. “Lawless,” based on a true story, pits three Virginian brothers, Forrest (an excellent Tom Hardy), Howard (Jason Clarke) and Jack Bondurant (Shia LaBeou f ), against crooked Special Deputy Charlie Rakes (a gripping Guy Pearce). The Bondurants do everything they can to make a buck during the harsh times of the Depression – by selling moonshine to the locals. With the competition slowly being bought out, Charlie Rakes is looking for a way to take down the brothers and buy out their fortune – sometimes using very brutal methods. But the Bondurants are not ones to go down without a fight. First, it is appropriate to talk about the ever-impressive Tom Hardy, who is one of the most exciting actors to watch on the screen. Most did not hear of Hardy until he appeared as Eames in

Shia LaBeouf, left, and Mia Wasikowska star in “Lawless.” Christopher Nolan’s “Inception” in 2010, but Eames was nowhere near as star-making of a role as the menacing Bane Hardy played in Nolan’s latest picture, “The Dark Knight Rises.” Hardy wears a mask for 99.9

percent of that film, so the first thing audiences are probably going to want to do is see him in his next movie. It is the bullish grunts and silence of Hardy that makes “Lawless” worth the full price of admission. He envelops

just about every character he plays. In fact, all the performances in “Lawless” are outstanding. Jessica Chastain’s forceful gravity is simply a delight to watch as Maggie Beauford, a big city gal looking for a quiet place to settle
down. She and Hardy generate real sparks together. Gu y Pe a r c e le av e s one wondering, “Why is he not taking on bigger roles?” He is such an authoritative and powerful actor, and he really shines as the dirty
Charlie Rakes, bad haircut and all. Shia LaBeouf is much better in a world without shape-shifting robots and terrible screenplays. He is not quite on the same level as the others, but he carries the movie well enough. Lastly, there is Gary Oldman, who only appears brief ly in a couple of memorable scenes. Oldman is one of those rare actors who is not afraid to let himself go completely when taking on roles. Just wait for his shovel-bashing scene. His character plays his part in building the legend of the brothers. Director John Hillcoat (“The Road”) effortlessly directs Nick Cave’s script. Yes, Nick Cave, the famous musician. So you know upfront that the film is going to have a dazzling score, and it does – a fabulous blend of bluegrass and country. My advice is for audiences to enter the theater with a big bag of popcorn, sit back and enjoy the ride they are about to endure, because this violent, gritty, “country gangster” drama keeps you on the edge of your seat with its superb acting, incredulous set design and incomparable suspended tension. “Lawless” opens in theaters today.

One O’Clock Lab Band debuts latest jazz album M ARLENE GONZALEZ Senior Staff Writer
T h e s i x- t i m e G r a m m y nominated One O’Clock Lab Band released its most recent album, “Lab 2012” on Friday. Those hoping to hear the ensemble’s latest music will have the opportunity at its first of three album-release events, Wednesday at 9 p.m. in the Syndicate. The lab band has been putting out an album every year since 1967. “It’s like UNT’s football team winning the Super Bowl,” One O’Clock Lab Band director Steve Wiest said. “It is one of the largest collections of recorded music for any university-level ensemble in the world.” The album this year consists of nine tunes, each ranging from f ive to six minutes long. The music ranges from jazz to blues to fusion. This is the first time one of the tracks is accompanied by a music video. Lab band members and jazz studies master’s students Jenny Kellogg, Aaron Hedenstrom and Tyler Mire composed the video titled “Miles of Shades.” Peter Rand was responsible for the
animation. “You can compare it most to ‘Fantasia,’” jazz composition senior Drew Zaremba said. “Except instead of specific images, this is a very abstract video.” There were 19 members in the One O’ Clock Lab Band last semester, with four students each having one of their compositions recorded on the album. Kellogg wrote a tribute to her golden retriever Abby, who passed away last August. She said her piece portrays the different stages of a dog’s life, puppyhood, adulthood and old age. “The puppy stage is kind of an unknown soprano solo,” Kellogg said. “I told the soloist, ‘Pretend you’re in a new place and don’t know what’s going on. You’re trapped and confined.’” Zaremba was hesitant about presenting his composition to Wiest, but figured criticism from him would help him grow. “His opinion is ver y well r e s p e c t e d ,” Z a r e mba s a id. “Criticism from him is only going to help you. He’s not going to say something negative just to be negative.” A fter his f irst piece didn’t
measure up to the lab band’s style, Zaremba decided to start from zero and write a new one within four to five days. His composition, “Race to the Finish,” ended up being the closing piece on the album. “The One O’Clock Band has a certain component of new music that pushes the envelope in musical style,” Zaramba said. “It’s very much open, but it cannot be a recreation of what has already been made.” Wiest said the band releases the album every August, right in time for it to be eligible for Grammy nominations. The CD can be purchased online at the UNT Music Store, Pender’s Music or the Jazz Office for $15. Wiest said funds benefit students and help pay for travel expenses, music operations and scholarships. In addit ion to producing albums, the band tours the Da l la s -For t Wor th area to promote its music and UNT ’s jazz studies program.

Professor emphasizes use Target after-hours event of social, digital media aims to help students SHAYLYNN LYNCH Intern
Despite the fact that many students are discouraged from using Facebook, Twitter and YouTube in the classroom, the University of North Texas has begun to recognize the potential of these media forms. Most recently, the university focused on hiring professors to create courses on social and digital media. “The need for social media now is very obvious with the explosion of the social media space as a space of employment and also distribution of media,” radio, television and film professor Eugene Martin said. After lobbying for permission from the College of Arts and Sciences, the RTVF Department formed a search committee headed by Martin. Along with two other departments, RTVF looked for a social media professor, as part of a “cluster hire” for the College of Arts and Sciences. The search committee was looking for a professor that could contribute scholarship and courses as an authority on social media, Martin said. After a rigorous nine-month search and receiving applications from across the globe, Jacqueline Vickery from University of Texas at Austin was brought in for her two-day interview, which included giving a lecture in an RTVF class. “It was one of the best teaching
Jacqueline Vickery presentations any of us had ever seen,” Martin said. Vickery comes to the University of North Texas with credentials and research in her field, including a grant from the MacArthur Foundation’s Connected Learning Research Network as an Associate Researcher on “The Digital Edge,” an interdisciplinary project that explores how students, teachers and families are engaging in digital media. She received her B.A. in Communication from the University of Oklahoma and both her M.A. and Ph.D. in Media Studies from the University of Texas at Austin. Vickery recognizes the importance of social media studies and research.
“Students are using social media in their personal lives [and] in their professional lives,” she said. “They need those tools to get jobs […] it’s becoming a tool for success.” Vickery has created two courses being offered by the RTVF Department this fall. The first course, Web 2.0 Theory and Research, is designed to look at uses of social media, such as how consumers, citizens, politicians, advertisers and marketers use social media and what effects they have on society. The second course, Social Media Strategies, will help students learn some of the most successful ways to use social media tools to engage with different communities. The students will work in teams to launch a social media driven campaign and a wiki. “Here [at UNT] I’ve got the freedom to design my own courses,” Vickery said. “A lot of my friends are teaching Intro 101 […] I feel so blessed to be a first-year professor teaching what I want.” RTVF senior Keenan Cobb said the courses Vickery will teach are relevant and important to the students of today. “In this business, especially with RTVF, you have to know what’s going on tomorrow, [and] she was giving us information that applied to now,” Cobb said.

For the third year in a row, Target will close its doors to the general public and provide the students of UNT with an opportunity to shop, win prizes and meet new people. The store’s annual After-Hours Shopping Event will take place tonight from 10:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. at the Target on Loop 288. “The shopping events are a great way to welcome students to campus, help them meet new friends and ease their transition to college life,” Target representative Kate Lohmuller said. While the majority of socializing may happen within the walls of Target, organizers are hoping the fun for students begins before arriving at the actual site. “The bus rides from the halls provide opportunities to meet with people along with the shopping,” Student Activities Coordinator Tracy Frier said. “There’s a DJ […..], the dance floor, so the event is real social without being awkward with people just standing around.” Even though Target will undergo a transformation into something resembling a mininightclub, the option of shopping remains available, and students in

search of college survival items will still have the opportunity to gather what they’re looking for. “Shopping events provide students the opportunity to stock up on everything they may need – including food, health and beauty supplies, laundry and kitchen essentials, as well as fashion and dorm furnishings,” Lohmuller said. “The events provide a great introduction to Target for young people, many of whom are shopping as adults for the first time”. Similar to past events, this year’s shopping event will give students the opportunity to win prizes of all shapes and sizes through a “text to win” format.
In addition to that, Target has added the opportunity to download the “The Bullseye Badge” mobile application. The app delivers content before, during and after the event, including the bus locations, instant savings at checkout and special discounts on items college students may need. With the addition of the mobile app, dance floor, free samples and DJ, organizers hope the event will be more than your everyday sale at a local store. “I think it’s a really cool idea and shows that they are really studentoriented,” pre-communication design freshman Sarah How said. “It’s definitely a good way to end up mingling.”

College drinking spikes among freshmen MCT- As college gets under way, incoming students across the state are entering a world of long lectures, daunting professors, crushing course loads, new friendships and, often, lots and lots of drinking. Though most older adults know that excessive drinking can lead to death from alcohol poisoning as well as accidents, date rape, assault, violence, vandalism and academic failure, try telling a newly emancipated freshman that. During the first few weeks of college, students, especially freshmen, are at the highest risk of alcohol-related harm, said Michael Cleveland, researcher at Penn State’s Prevention Research Center. “We see a spike then because anxiety is high, and the rigors of course work haven’t yet taken hold.” Michael Davis, a senior at University of Central Florida, says the drinking problem often starts with the way the college is portrayed — as a life that revolves
around alcohol. “Freshmen come in expecting it to be that way, so behave that way,” said the 22-yearold communications major. Parents have reason to worry. According to national surveys conducted by Harvard School of Public Health, 44 percent of all college students binge drink and many suffer alcohol-induced blackouts. Every year, college drinking leads to 1,825 deaths among students age 18 to 25, according to the College Task Force report to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Drinking also contributes to 599,000 injuries, 696,000 assaults and 97,000 cases of date rape on college campuses each year. THE COSTS The problem not only costs lives, but money. For each college with 40,000 or more students, emergency-room visits for alcoholrelated blackouts cost about $500,000 a year, according to an April report in Health Affairs, an
international health-policy journal. At Central Florida last year, 679 students were cited for alcohol violations, 49 were taken to the hospital for excessive drinking and 29 were arrested for drinking and driving, according to university records. UCF has an enrollment of 59,000 students. At the beginning of each semester, I see a jump in the number of students transported to the hospital for alcohol or drug intoxication,” said Tom Hall, UCF director of wellness and health promotion. The infrastructure around the campus doesn’t help, said Hall. Many off-campus bars, he said, have irresponsible drink promotions. Though the university hasn’t had an alcohol-poisoning death, it has had students die in alcoholrelated auto accidents, he said. “Until Halloween, it’s a pretty dicey time,” Hall said. “ When they see that (the drinking) really isn’t working out,
the behavior definitely tapers off,” said Davis. THE SPIKE Scott Walters, professor of behavioral health at University of North Texas Health Science Center, looked at data gathered from surveys of 77,000 incoming freshman. The students were questioned about their drinking behavior during the two months before college started and during their first month of freshman year. Not only were freshman drinking more in fall than in summer, but they were also drinking more alcohol in a shorter period of time, said Walters, who published the study last year in Addictive Behaviors. “Once college starts, students who do drink get less careful about pacing themselves.” Cleveland and his colleagues also studied incoming freshmen and found most students shift up one category. Non-drinkers become light drinkers, and light drinkers start bingeing. Most
worrisome was the finding that the heavy-drinking group increased from 8 percent of the sample in the summer to 28 percent by fall of freshman year. PARENTS’ ROLE KEY However, the research also shows that parents and peers can bring those numbers down, said Cleveland. In his study, Cleveland found that when parents talked to their kids about drinking and drug use, it had a positive effect. The parental inter vention involved parents reading a 35-page handbook and discussing it with their kids. If students were nondrinkers going into college, the intervention helped keep them nondrinkers. Students who already were heavy drinkers but received parent intervention were less likely to remain in that group. (Parents can find useful talking points at collegedrinkingprevention.gov.) “Parents need to talk to their children ahead of time and not stop talking to them,” said Walters.
“Parents can’t count on the college to orient student to the perils of campus life. It’s the parent’s job. Stay on them.” A lthough parents had the greatest impact, Cleveland’s studies also found that peers could play a positive role. When older students talked to incoming students about their academic goals and drinking behaviors and got them to see when the two did not align, the younger students drank less. Schools can reduce student drinking by reporting its prevalence. At most schools, 60 percent of students are either non-drinkers or drink very lightly, said experts. Yet students typically overestimate how many are drinking and how much. “I tell incoming freshmen that not all students at UCF party and do drugs, so don’t be something you’re not,” said Davis. But for those kids who come into college and want to experiment, “all I can say is do it in a safe environment and do it responsibly.”

Schedule analysis: Key games for UNT PHOTO BY ZAC SWITZER/ SENIOR STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER
Head football coach Dan McCarney gets his team in gear for the season opener against Louisiana State University. The Mean Green face the Tigers on Saturday at Tigers Stadium at 6 p.m.
Spotlight, tough schedule won’t faze Mean Green
TYLER OWENS
Senior Staff Writer Once the college football season starts, the Mean Green football team will travel down to the bayou to a place named “Death Valley” to play a Louisiana State University team that was in the National Championship a year ago. After that, the team’s schedule doesn’t get any easier. The football team took a step forward after winning five games last year, compared to the six combined wins of the previous four seasons. However, duplicating last year’s results will be tough due to a talented schedule. With road games against No. 3 LSU, No. 22 Kansas State and Houston, along with conference games in one of the most improved conferences in the country, the team will have to play strong all season if it wants to accomplish its goal of winning the Sun Belt Championship. “Until you win, until you go to bowl games and until you have a winning season that’s just the way that it goes,” head coach Dan
McCarney said. “That’s my message to the football team. If you don’t like it do something about it, and if it doesn’t bother you then you’re not much of a competitor and I don’t want you on this football team.” While the team is aware of ESPN’s prediction that UNT will finish eighth out of nine teams in the Sun Belt this season, it’s not something that will deter the team from its mission. “The first thing you’ve got to do is eliminate outside expectations, because there’s been no expectations in this program for a long time,” McCarney said. With last year’s star running back, Lance Dunbar, being one of 27 senior players to graduate last season, junior quarterback Derek Thompson will step up as the main face of the team. Thompson said being put in the spotlight will not affect his mentality this season. “I’ve always been in a position where a lot of people look up to me. That’s how it was growing up, and I’ve just learned to embrace it,” he said. “I’ve just got to make sure I take care of my business. All I am is the
The
facilitator of the football. I’ve got to get the ball into playmakers’ hands, and we’ll be successful.” The team will be in the national spotlight as seven of the 12 total games the Mean Green will play will be broadcasted on ESPN2, Fox Sports Network, ESPNU and ESPN3 throughout the season. Having played a full season under McCarney, the team feels like it is prepared to take on the tough opponents of the SEC, Big 12, Conference USA and Sun Belt. “We feel good, we’re used to it, we know what to do now, and we’re all ready,” junior wide receiver Brelan Chancellor said. “We expect each other to do big things and go get ready and win the game.” Despite the lack of recent success, tough schedule and loss of seniors the Mean Green is confident that it will surprise everyone this season. “Right now we’re focused on getting the Mean Green better,” Thompson said. “We like to fly under the radar, that’s fine with us, we’ll play that role. We just have to focus on getting better as a team, and the standings will take care of itself.”

Toughest test Sept. 15 at Kansas State Aside from the obvious answer of Louisiana State, Kansas State will be UNT’s toughest matchup. Their dual-threat quar terback Collin K lein can wreak havoc on opposing defenses with his ability to run and throw the ball. Not only can he spread the wealth to all of his receivers, as his 1,918 total yards passing shows, but he is also a threat to run the ball. His 1,141 yards rushing was more than the team’s starting running back last season (John Hubert finished with 900 yards rushing on the season). The only Big 12 opponent on the schedule will be a tough one for the Mean Green.
Upset alert Oct. 6 at Houston Last year, Houston came into Denton and Apogee Stadium and drilled the Mean Green in the second half of the season’s opener after UNT stayed with the Cougars in the first half. Now that Case Keenum, the face of that Houston team, is in the NFL, the Houston offense may not be as proficient as it once was. North Texas will play Houston relatively early on in the season so the offense may not be ready when the Mean Green comes to town. UNT has also shown that it can survive without Lance Dunbar. In the game against Houston, he only managed 62 yards rushing. Dunbar’s efforts were not taken for granted, but the Mean Green have shown they can stay afloat without Dunbar.
Game to watch Sept. 22 versus Troy In one of last season’s highest scoring affairs, the slug fest was put to rest in the fourth quarter when North Texas pulled away in the fourth quarter. Fans shouldn’t expect anything less this season. Troy has quarterback Corey Robinson and running back Shawn Southward coming back, which means fans should get another high- scoring performance by both squads. UNT quarterback Derek Thompson had one of his best games of the year against Troy throwing for 331 total yards while completing 31 of 38 total passes. If Thompson can be that efficiency again, North Texas will have a good shot at beating the Trojans two years in a row after losing in seven of the previous eight meetings.

Mean Green Soccer continues quick start
Volleyball rallies against UT-Arlington

AUSTIN SCHUBERT
Before attending any classes for the fall semester, the Mean Green women’s soccer team is off to a quick start, winning all four games it has played, including two double-overtime wins against Oral Roberts and Sam Houston State “We’re very happy being 4-0. It’s a great start for us, especially it being a young team,” junior defender Kelsey Hodges said. “People underestimate us a little bit I think.” Despite not being an offensive player, Hodges is currently the team’s leading scorer with three goals. The team’s offense has gotten off to a slower start, scoring an additional three combined goals. Even with the lack of goals, UNT has been able to outscore opponents 6-2 this year. “We put defense first like we did last year,” head coach John Hedlund said. “We still have one of the best keepers in the country in Jackie Kerestine, and then [Kelsey] Hodges is one of the best defenders around. When you can build your defense around those two and then bring in solid youth players around them to learn, I think you’re going to be pretty strong.” The Mean Green, 14-3-3 last season, were favored to win the Sun Belt championship tournament, but lost in the second round to Western Kentucky in a penalty kick shootout. The expectations are just as high for this season. “All of us are very excited, John talks about us going to the [NCA A] tournament,” Hodges said. “All of us want that for sure, all of us want to defend our title as Sun Belt Champs as well.”
After opening the season with the program’s first home tournament victory in school history, the UNT volleyball team made history for the second time in four days with a comeback win against crosstown rival UT-Arlington on Tuesday night (24-26, 25-21, 19-25, 25-17, 15-10). The win against UTA pushed the Mean Green to a 5-0 start on the season, the best in program history. “It was great to see us battle back tonight,” head coach Ken Murczek said. “It would’ve been easy just to shut down when we got down 2-1 in their gym, but we didn’t let that happen.” The Mean Green struggled out of the gate, falling behind 9-4 in the first set. But behind the effort of freshman outside hitter Carnae Dillard, who tallied 3 blocks in the first set, UNT fought back. A 7-0 UNT run turned the deficit into a 17-12 lead. UTA wouldn’t go away, though, and took advantage of 13 UNT errors to hand UNT its first dropped set of the season, 26-24. “This had to be the first time in history that a team with a negative hitting percentage won a set,” Murczek said. “We gave them points with all of our errors.” The Mean Green led nearly wire to wire in the second set and rolled to a 25-21 victory thanks to a .293 hitting percentage and committing only four errors. UTA came out firing in the third set, putting the Mean Green in a 16-8 hole that UNT could never get out of. The Mavericks took the set 25-19

Forward senior Michelle Young drives the ball down the field at the Mean Green Soccer Complex on Sunday. The Mean Green defeated the Houston Cougars 2-1 when Young scored her first goal of the season in the 82nd minute. The team has 12 new players, so chemistry, especially among the offense, has been the team’s biggest struggle. Last year’s leading scorer and team captain Michelle Young has been off to a slow start with only one goal. The Mean Green lost six seniors transitioning between seasons, five of whom were offensive players. “It is [frustrating], just because
we had a couple players that knew the runs that I made and could feed me the ball through.” Young said. “Now that we have new faces I kind of have to teach them, ‘Okay, I’m going to be running all the time, so look up and find me’”. The Mean Green plays next at home 7 p.m. Friday at the Mean Green Soccer Stadium against Baylor.

Junior middle blocker Courtney Windham eases over one of many against Lamar. UNT swept the Cardinals 3-0 last weekend and came back to win 3-2 in Tuesday night’s matchup against UT-Arlington. despite a late UNT push. With its back against the wall, the Mean Green hit .355 in the fourth set to win it 25-17 and force a deciding fifth set. “Everyone was hungry tonight,” junior libero Shelby Tamura said. “Nobody wanted to get in the vans and go home after we fell behind 2-1.” The Mean Green built off of the momentum gained from the fourth set, racing out to a 4-0 lead in the deciding set to roll to a 15-10 victory. “The girls did an unbelievable job in the fourth and fifth set,” Murczek
said. “We didn’t miss a serve, and our hitting was much cleaner. It was nice to see us battle back to win.” Dillard and junior Courtney Windham, the North Texas Invitational MVP, tied for a matchhigh 20 digs each to power the UNT attack. Tamura notched 33 digs, sixth most for a match in school history. As a team, UNT recorded 14 blocks, the most in a game since November of 2009. The Mean Green returns to action Friday at the IUPUI Invitational in Indianapolis, Ind.

Building G, located in the Mean Green Village, is the prospective site for a $2.5 million renovation for a new basketball practice facility. The building is currently the practice facility for UNT golf and softball.
New basketball facility will lead to Mean Green Village expansion B R ET T M EDEIROS Staff Writer
A fter building Apogee Stadium last summer for a cost of $78 million, the Mean Green Athletic Department will now focus on renovating Building G in the Mean Green Village to become a new basketball practice facility. By raising approximately $3 million in a span of 30 days, the universit y plans on renovating one of the last remaining pieces of the old Libert y Christian Campus that UNT bought in 2002. “It shows the boosters and their vision,” men’s basketball head coach Tony Benford said. “$3 million in 30 days? That’s unheard of. It’s what I tel l recruits, that North Texas is committed to competing at a high level, and this [the fundraising] shows it.” A s of now, Building G is home to offices for the softball coaches, batting cages and areas for members of the golf team to
practice. The new location for these offices has not been determined. “When it is all said and done we’ ll have improved the cost of the building we’ve already paid for, the land that it’s on we’ve already paid for and the reno-

vations I think we’ ll be talking about somewhere close to $2.5 million,” UNT Athletic Director Rick Villarreal said. Currently, both basketball teams practice in the Coliseum’s Super Pit, which is owned by the university. The basketball teams are not in full control of practice times
Physical Education Building or even the volleyball complex,” Villarreal said. “This is not a deal that we’re just building to say, ‘Look what we’ve got.’ We have a situation where our basketball teams don’t have a place to go, and if we are to compete at the highest level we need to have a building like this.”
In the new facility, players and coaches will have full control of when and where they practice along with the men’s and woman’s locker rooms, f ilm room, weight room and training court equipped with six baskets. “This is going to be something that we seriously needed,” senior for ward Roger Franklin said. “It’s going to be a great opportunity. I want to say it’s about time, but yet at the exact same time, being patient is key.” By the end of the calendar year, the new practice facility is expected to be operational, but it is not the final step in the production of the Mean Green Village. There are plans to include a new track and field facility south of the Waranch Tennis Complex, a new golf facilit y east of the tennis complex, sand volleyball courts with a possibilit y of a team and a baseball field right next to Lovelace stadium. T he Mean Green ba sketball teams will continue to play games in the Coliseum.
Cowboys’ Dez Bryant changes agents (MCT)
OX NA R D, Calif. — The ongoing Dallas Cowboys soap opera that is receiver Dez Bryant took another turn on Friday when he terminated his relationship with agent Drew Rosenhaus with plans of returning to Eugene Parker, according to multiple sources. The move can’t officially be made until a f ive-day waiting period has passed. Br yant got the ball rolling Friday, sending an official letter of termination to Rosenhaus. Parker was Bryant’s original agent and did his rookie deal with the Cowboys before Bryant made the switch to Rosenhaus last year. Both Parker and Rosenhaus declined comment. “I know the qualit y person Eugene Parker is,” owner Jerry Jones said. “I think Dez benefits from that.”
Certainly, Rosenhaus is not to blame for incidents involving Br yant, who has had issues throughout his brief NFL career. But things have escalated over the past year. He was detained by Miami police in January after getting in an altercation with the entourage of rapper Lil Wayne. Two weeks ago, Bryant was charged with misdemeanor family violence for allegedly attacking his mother. Bryant, who has not talked to the media because of the criminal complaint, has been forced to re-examine his life and how he handles his business. Jones has told Bryant in no uncertain terms that he must mature and be a good citizen on and off the field if he hopes to remain a member of the Cowboys. While the family v iolence charge remains unresolved, the Cowboys are pleased with the
way Bryant has approached his job in training camp so far. He has not let the issue be a distraction and has been one of the most impressive, if not the most impressive player, during the first week of camp. Coach Jason Garrett said the Cowboys have talked to Bryant about focusing on football in practice. “He’s looked outstanding,” Garrett said. One of the re a s ons the Cowboys were excited about the possibility of Bryant breaking out in 2012 was that he had a full off-season for the first time in his career, and he was finally going to be in football shape coming to camp. Bryant caught 63 passes for 928 yards and nine touchdowns last year, but there were four games in which he caught no passes in the second half and five in which
he caught just one. “He’s one of those guys who has about 4 percent body fat,” Garrett said. “He takes his shirt off and he’s carved out of a mountain. “He did a great job at different times last year of fighting through different injuries he had. He had a thigh deal going, he had some other things he fought through, so he has mental toughness to do it. He just has to continue to understand the importance of it.” According to Garrett, it’s not just being in shape. It’s understanding how to be a mature football player. “I think the other factor with Dez that I think is important is understanding how to use your energy,” Garrett said. “(He) has to be able to channel that energy and be mature enough to know when you need to be your best. I think he’s understanding that better.”
Mean Green Trivia For the second year in a row, the UNT football team will play a ranked opponent in its non-conference schedule. Last year the Mean Green played against No. 2 Alabama, and the team opens up this season against the No. 3 Louisiana State University team. While in the Sun Belt Conference, how many times has UNT played against a ranked opponent? Hint: The Mean Green has played a ranked opponent in every year except one while in the Sun Belt Conference. Those who think they know the answer can tweet their guesses to the NTDaily Sports Twitter, @NTDailySports. People who answer correctly will be mentioned in Friday’s paper.

Campus Chat Progress should not abandon morals Do you think the Staff Editorial
West Nile Virus is a threat to UNT students?
“I’m concerned because it’s early in the season, and we had lots of reports about it already.”
As our planet continues to leap forward in scientific progress, the most fascinating developments consistently appear at the forefront of advanced military technology. Though we might prefer that these inventions were applied to peaceful ends, the fact that war drives technological innovation is nearly irrefutable. Last year, an editorial in the Washington Post reported that more than 50 countries have either developed or purchased drone technology, many of them planning to utilize these remote-controlled aerial devices for military appli-
cations. The author went on to claim that the “age of the drone” has arrived, whether we like it or not. The fascinating sci-fi geek mystique of advanced robotic aerial warfare should quickly give way to rational thought. While the General Atomics MQ-1 Predator drone widely employed by the U.S. military might resemble a futuristic spacecraft, we must eventually remember that its advanced missile payload is deployed against actual human beings – not some alien menace. Regardless of personal morals, the planet’s new focus on drone

warfare certainly blesses the American people with an increased ability to rationalize – or ignore altogether – the casualties of these foreign military exercises. This may be due to the remoteness of drone strikes: the drones themselves have more than a 600-mile range, and their military operations largely take place far overseas. Perhaps the lack of public inquiry is a result of fewer U.S. casualties, due to these drones reducing the need for human soldiers by replacing them with robotic counterparts. Make no mistake, the preservation of American lives is
an admirable side effect of this race for technological superiority, but the preservation of life is largely asymmetric, since drones are arguably far deadlier than infantry units. If nothing else, it’s certainly cause for careful scrutiny of drone action by informed citizens, in order to ensure that this technology isn’t employed thoughtlessly. A recent revelation that President Obama’s administration maintained a “kill list” of accused terrorists, marking them for clandestine drone assassinations, was met by mixed emotions that perhaps the administration was going too far serving as judge, jury
and executioner, but the President’s assurance to the American people that he kept such decisions on a “tight leash” could ease fears of overreaching American military presence on foreign soil. Let’s face it, as long as the U.S. military and its associated contractors keep getting chunks of that sweet, sweet trillion-dollar defense budget, the Tao of Drone will continue regardless of public opinion. It is simply our responsibility as cosmopolitan citizens to always consider the human element of this digital warfare.

Investigating shady tuition fees is critical I will be blunt: UNT has stolen almost $300 from me this semester. I have been forced to pay for programs from which I do not and cannot benefit. I am forced to pay for the History Help Center, despite the fact that as a graduate student, I cannot benefit from its services. I am forced to pay for transportation services that cannot benefit me because of where I live. I am forced to pay for a sports program that is not mentioned in the state charter to the University, is not included in the school’s mission statement and has absolutely no bearing on my degree. I certainly don’t believe that sports should be eliminated – some people clearly enjoy these events, but those with no interest should not be obligated to pay for them. I have no objection to paying for services I receive or even for those that I may only potentially receive, but I object to being forced into purchasing services that I will not benefit from and hold no interest for. As students, we receive no freedom of choice when it comes to these fees – in fact, we are brushed aside if we even question them. I have asked for answers three times this semester, and each time I have received non sequiturs and platitudes instead of an explanation. Those who criticize me for my beliefs say these fees were approved by the Student Government Association, a fact that might be valid if that body held any actual power. These critics say I should go to school elsewhere. One individual on Facebook claimed that no one would care about UNT without its sports program, and that I lack pride in my school.
I question why anyone would go to a school exclusively for its sports program, no matter how well-funded and successful, if their genuine interest was in an academic degree. I also question those who completely ignore award-winning histor y, literat ure, music, physics and other academic programs that actually contribute to the school’s stated purpose: becoming a top-tier research institution. Unless you’re an athlete, going to a school solely for its athletics program defeats the purpose of a higher education. I do not seriously expect to be reimbursed the $300 that UNT stole from me. My goal is instead to get people talking about these problems, and to demand answers from the school ’s administration. The protest era may be over, but with the action and organization of a concerned student body, a new era of accountability can begin.

Gun violence raises questions The people of the United States of America were originally given “the right to bear arms” as a means to readily serve in a militia. In the hundreds of years since the Second Amendment was written, its meaning has been convoluted to accommodate the times we live in. In recent years the Supreme Court – not just a president, keep in mind, and not the “idiot” George Bush or the “Kenyan communist” Barack Obama – has interpreted and ruled that the Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to own a gun for personal use. How this belief makes any sense is beyond me. Personally, I’m partial to gun ownership. Guns can be exciting, since they bestow mere mortals with an insurmountable amount of power at the tip of their index finger. Shooting game allows humans to briefly explore the primitive hunter-gatherer instincts that lie deep within us all. However, as any soldier, homicide detective or those familiar with the bloody spectacles displayed nightly on the national news can attest, man is the most dangerous game. In little over a month, the United States has endured four fatal shootings severe enough to make the national news – not to mention countless instances of inner-city gun violence that receive minimal coverage by comparison. One of these shootings occurred at a movie theater, another at a place of worship – and it’s certainly common knowledge that gunmen target schools just as often. Is the perceived right to own a gun for recreational purposes worth the possibility of being murdered while watching a summer blockbuster, getting closer to your chosen God or furthering your knowledge? In my opinion, the human cost is simply too high. You might compare it to the life of
a rebellious teenager. Our parents – our own personal “founding fathers” – have given us the keys to their beat-up minivan. We’ve been instructed to go about our daily business at school and work, and then come straight home. Instead, we’re sneaking out and using their car to joyride, go to parties and otherwise abuse their trust. We try to justify this by claiming it’s our car, and we should have the freedom to do with it as we please. It doesn’t matter if we’re breaking the rules or putting others and ourselves in danger, because we’re just irresponsible teenagers. Our parents might warn us about the risks involved, but they’re just overreacting. There’s no harm in a joyride, right? But there is harm in this doublebarreled joyride. The thrill and raw power of guns and cars may be fun, but both are dangerous. Our parents and founding fathers knew best, and though the country has certainly changed since 1791, gun culture in 2012 is alive and well. Sadly, the same cannot be said about the victims of this culture’s violent price.
