UNT names new dean of arts, sciences college

Senior Staff Writer UNT announced this month the selection of Arthur James Goven as the university’s acting dean of the College of Arts and Science. Goven started at the position Aug. 13. He succeeds Michael Monticino, who had been the dean since 2010. Monticino is now serving as interim vice president for advancement and director of development for the UNT Foundation, which facilitates private fundraising and investment for the university. Goven, who joined the UNT fa cu lt y in 19 82 , pre v iou sly served as professor and chair of the Department of Biological Sciences. Before that, he acted as faculty executive assistant to the chancellor, interim vice provost for research and interim vice president for research. His research has focused on areas related to environmental toxicology, immunotoxicology and immunoparasitology. Wa r ren Bu rg g ren, U N T provost and vice president for academic affairs, said Goven was immensely qualified for the job. “Because he has assumed many positions, he has broad knowledge of the university,” Burggren said “His accomplishments show he’s the candidate for the job,” Monticino said Lisa Baronio, the previous vice president for advancement, announced her departure on July 6, so reshuff l ing posit ions happene d qu ick l y. Mont ici no st a r t e d at his new position on Aug. 8. The selection process was carefully done because the majority of UNT students’ core classes are in the department, Monticino said. The duties of the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences have grown tremendously in the last 20 years. Today, the dean has to do much more than just hiring and

scheduling, Monticino said. Goven said his goals include providing the best possible undergraduate experience for students, promoting the college’s research and growth and creating a positive, appreciative working environment for faculty and staff. Goven said he was excited to begin the semester at a new posi-

tion, which will give him a chance to broaden his experiences at UNT. “I was pleased when they asked me to do this, because it allows me to see another facet of the university,” he said. “We are going to carry on the current mission of CAS and focus on the areas it’s already defined.”

Denton County praised Students petition to for healthy job market remove Chick-fil-A A SHLEY GRANT

Senior Staff Writer

Although much of the country is still reeling from a grueling economic downturn and looking at a national 8.3 percent unemployment rate, Denton County has fared better than most, according to a new list released by CNN Money. The magazine ranked the county as the No. 7 best job market in the nation, with a job growth rate of 53.4 percent from 2000 to 2011. The list cited UNT researchers’ significant contributions to the medical sector as a major reason for the county’s high ranking. Julie Glover, economic development program administrator for the Cit y of Denton, said the biggest reason for Denton County’s economic durability is its close proximity to Interstate 35-E, which runs from Mexico to Canada. The major highway provides quick access to airports and train stations, and helps connect people and businesses around the country. The city of Denton’s contributions to the county’s economy have been important, Glover said. “The qualit y of life here in

Denton is amazing,” she said. “Our downtown area is booming, and people are constantly being exposed to the unique art and music found here.” Glover said Denton County has been poised for years as a location for economic growth, which has also helped make it the fastest growing county in terms of population. Denton’s downtown underwent a revitalization project in 1990, when only 60 percent of retail spaces were occupied, residents only had two restaurants to choose from and parking spaces were readily available, Glover said. “The image is quite diﬀerent now, and the area has completely changed,” she said. The city’s booming downtown, revolving around the Courthouseon-the-Square, is what prompted local restaurant owner John Cartwright to set up his steakhouse, Cartwright’s Ranch House, in the area. Cartwright said Denton was the ﬁrst place he looked at when scouting for locations. He said the city’s small-town atmosphere initially appealed to him and blended perfectly with the variety

of comfort dishes his restaurant prepares. “It’s desirable because there’s so much to do here and so much to oﬀer like major cities, but there’s still that small town feel,” he said. “People are close enough to travel to the major cities but don’t have to live in the big cities.” Employers and people expanding north also contributed to Denton County’s prosperous job market, he said. While many business owners are attracted to the expansion and the visibility Denton County has to oﬀer, others are drawn to the comfort. Roxane Clark, co-owner of Sleeping Lizards on North Elm St reet, said opening the gift shop in Denton was less intimidating than starting a business in other locations. “The people here are really receptive to new businesses opening, and they were just full of support,” she said. “That made it pretty easy for us to decide on Denton.” Local business owners said new retail openings centered around Fry Street only reinforced the city and county’s economic viability.

Sparked by a national firestorm over a fast food chain president’s position on gay marriage, an online petition is calling for the Chick-fil-A in the University Union to be removed by the university. Engl ish junior Joseph Billeaudeaux launched the petition on the website change.org over the summer, and it has since garnered about 470 signatures. Billeaudeaux wrote on the website that “maintaining a contract with an anti-gay vendor like Chick-fil-A undermines what makes this university so great,” and that the restaurant should be removed as a vendor at UNT. The controversy stems from a July interview in the Baptist Press, where Chickfil-A President Dan Cathy said that the company believes in supporting the concept of a “traditional family.” The national chain donated about $2 million to anti-same-sex marriage groups in 2010, according to the fact-checking organization

Equality Matters. As of Tuesday night, the petition to UNT President V. Lane Rawlins was about 4,000 signatures short of its goal. K im Schroder, a ssociate director of retail dining services, said the petition has not affected business at the Chick-fi l-A in the Union. “Generally the summer months are always our slowest, so the petition to remove it hasn’t had an effect on us yet,” Schroeder said. As furor over Cathy’s statements reached a peak in July, various prosame-sex marriage groups called for boycotts of the company, and the Jim Henson Company terminated a business contract to make children’s toys for Chick-fil-A, instead donating the money to the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, according to ABC News. Boston Mayor Thomas Menino publically spoke against the company’s franchise expansion in the city, while former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee called for a Chickfil-A Appreciation Day, which had about 600,000 RSVPs on Facebook. According to Chick-f il-A’s website, the company has five loca-

tions on college campuses in North Texas, including the University of Texas at Arlington, where a similar petition to have the vendor removed has appeared on change. org. Merchandising senior Caitlin Murphy said that although she loves the food at Chick-fi l-A, she now chooses to patronize other fast food restaurants. “It’s unfortunate that the owners do not believe in equality, because I sure do. I’m not opposed to it being removed,” she said. Other students do not share that sentiment. Development and family studies senior Colleen Farmer said Cathy’s statements were justified and the public was overreacting. “I think he was validated by our right to free speech,” she said. “The whole thing was just blown out of proportion.” Another petition to remove Chick-fil-A from the Union, started by a UNT alumna, as well as a pro-Chick-fi l-A petition have also sprung up on change.org. Neither petition has garnered more than 100 signatures.

First phase of Golden Triangle renovations increase business H. DREW BLACKBURN Staff Writer

Renovations to the interior of Denton’s Golden Triangle Mall are underway, and some remodeled stores have already seen an uptick in business, store managers and city staff said. “Right now they’re in the process of cleaning up the inside of the mall area, the hallways and such,” said Linda Ratliff, director of economic development for the City of Denton. “They’re changing the lighting because it’s kind of dark.” Major changes have yet to take place – full renovations are expected to be finished by the end of 2013 – but the success of remodeling at the mall’s Victoria’s Secret location may bode well for Golden Triangle’s update. Store manager Ariel Watkins said business has increased significantly since it underwent remodeling last year, and the location is now one of the company’s top-ranked for sales. “The new fixtures make the product look nicer,” Watkins said. “People have heard about the remodeling so they want to come in.” This fall, renovation will begin on the two entranceways facing Interstate 35-E at Barnes and Noble and Sears,

Golden Triangle Mall is undergoing renovations to improve the look and feel of the shopping center. Improvements will include a new stage for live performances. and will reconvene after the holiday season if the rush of shoppers creates a hectic atmosphere. Full renovations are expected to make the mall appear more attractive and enhance business by adding a food court, updating the atmosphere and adding new retailers. In order to attract more young people, Ratliﬀ said the mall hopes to add outdoor hangouts, green areas

and possibly a movie theater that screens independent ﬁlms. New retailers or restaurants have yet to be announced, and no leases have been signed yet. Ratliff said representatives of In-N-Out Burger have come to look at space outside of the mall, but nothing has been ﬁnalized. “Typically what happens in retail is that they pretty much know who

they’re going to get, but they won’t announce until they have a signed lease,” she said. Some students are hopeful for the possibilities of an updated Golden Triangle Mall. “I think it’s unrealistic, but an H&M would be a good addition because college kids can afford it,” preEnglish sophomore Tyler Hall said. In November of 2011, the Herring Group and the Weitzman Group purchased the Golden Triangle Mall from a subsidiary of Chase Bank, forming the GTM Development. GTM Development was awarded a Chapter 380 grant, which incentivizes the group to make renovations. Stipulations for the grant included the purchase of Golden Triangle Mall from Chase Bank, the renovation of existing properties, construction of new space inside the mall or the creation of pad sites, Ratliff said. Golden Triangle is an unusual piece of property, because certain lots are owned by individual business owners, she said. Most managers and employees of stores at the mall said they were on board with the renovations and excited to see the final results.

Lower level language labs try new online approach for fall AUDRA STAMP

Contributing Writer This semester, students enrolled in lower-level French, Spanish, German and Italian classes will take lab portions of the class online. The amount of hours required a week has also been decreased from four to three. Professors, students and members of the Department of World Languages, Literatures & Cultures had mixed feelings on the switch – although online labs will allow more students to enroll in classes, some think in-class lab time is needed to truly help students of foreign languages. Marie-Christine W. Koop, department chair of World Languages, Literatures & Cultures, said students in 1,000-level foreign language classes are required to enroll for three hours of class time and two hours of lab a week, which created scheduling diﬃculties for some students.

Koop believes moving labs online will open up availability and classroom space. “It was difficult for students to fit a language into their schedule, because it meant signing up for a whole class over two or three time slots,” Koop said. Classes in Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Japanese and Russian, which are not based on Latin characters, will continue to have an in-class lab because the characters are much more difficult to learn and students need more exposure to the language, Koop said. Koop believes the online portion is an effective learning process with a communicative approach. “We are doing things online that used to be done taking up time in class. The students are able to use Blackboard to complete the online portion, record answers, and students can listen to other students’ responses,”

she said. In 2010, UNT experimented with a hybrid Spanish class that required students to meet in class three days a week and meet in an online chat room at an allotted time two days a week. The lab portion of the class was still taught by a teaching assistant in a classroom. Tania López, an adjunct professor of Spanish who taught one of the hybrid classes, said she loved it but didn’t believe an online lab was the correct way to go. She noted that classes featuring the online component usually scored 5 to 6 points lower than their classroom-based counterparts, and suspected that students participating in the online chat room weren’t entirely focused on learning Spanish. “I think the lab should be face to face,” Lopez said. “The online lab will just be more work for both the student and the TA. They need verbal

practice – speaking is usually the last aspect of the language that a student feels comfortable doing.” History junior Justin Shuping took Spanish 1010 over the summer and is taking 1020 this semester. Unlike in the summer session, his lab will be online. “I think the in-class lab is good for beginners,” Shuping said. “I feel that the teachers help enforce the material better than the online lab will.” Koop said she believed mixing online portions of the class with faceto-face teaching was a good idea, but she would never endorse beginnerlevel classes that are taught entirely online. “They need immediate feedback and interaction,” Koop said. Taking a completely online language for new language students is not suitable for their needs. It’s like trying to take a music class with an instrument online – doesn’t work.”

Isaac begins threatening coastlines (MCT) GULFPORT, Miss. — Although the National Weather Service downgraded Isaac late Wednesday afternoon, the slow-moving tropical storm continued to menace the Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama coasts with high winds, heavy rains and ﬂooding as it drifted slowly northwest. Isaac had made landfall earlier in the day as a Category 1 hurricane, exactly seven years after Hurricane Katrina struck the region, and even after its downgrade it was expected to pound the coastline well into Thursday with 70-mph winds, storm surges of as much as 12 feet and localized rainfall of as much as 25 inches. “Now is not the time to let your guard down,” New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu said in a news conference. Stronger levees in New Orleans, built after Katrina, appeared to be holding. “Right now, we’re in good shape,” said Ricky Boyett, a spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers New Orleans District, which manages the levee system. “The system is doing exactly as it is designed to do right

now.” The Mississippi coast appeared to have escaped much of the storm’s wrath, with minimal damage and no reported injuries. But officials said a full damage assessment wouldn’t be possible until more of the storm clears. In a haunting reminder of Katrina’s aftermath, Louisiana National Guard troops rescued dozens of people from their flooded homes in Plaquemines Parish, a swampy area that sticks out like a finger in the Gulf of Mexico southeast of New Orleans. More than 1,800 people along the Gulf Coast died during and after Katrina, and the disaster displaced tens of thousands more residents, many of whom never returned. “For those of us who live here, this brings back very painful memories,” Landrieu said. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said in a news conference Wednesday in Baton Rouge that the storm surge had topped a levee in the parish, and that officials were considering whether to breach the levee intentionally to relieve the pressure. Coast Guard spokeswoman

Elizabeth Bordelon said late Wednesday afternoon that two rescue helicopters were on their way to Plaquemines Parish and other hard-hit areas, something weather conditions hadn’t allowed earlier. “They know what they can safely execute, mission-wise,” she said of the helicopter pilots. “Hopefully, we’ll have someone on the ground.” The Federal Emergency Management Agency dispatched four Black Hawk helicopters from Fort Campbell, Ky., and two Seahawk helicopters from Norfolk, Va., to assist with the rescue eﬀort. More than 600,000 Entergy customers in the region were without power Wednesday afternoon, most

of them in Louisiana, and ﬂooding and downed trees complicated eﬀorts to restore service. The storm closed major roads and bridges, halted trains and barges, and shut down ports. Jindal, who canceled his appearance this week at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., advised Louisiana residents to hunker down, with the storm expected to linger. Isaac was moving northwest at 6 mph late Wednesday and was forecast to move farther into Louisiana and southern Arkansas on Thursday and Friday. “There is much more coming, not just in Baton Rouge but other parts of our state as well,” Jindal said.

Modern slang wanders into dictionary K ELSEY CHIPPEAUX Intern

Recent updates to Oxford Dictionaries Online have caught the attention of the public and word enthusiasts alike. With the addition of terms such as “mwahahaha” and “ridic” and the loss of words such as “senticous” and “tollation,” some have come to ridicule the dictionary’s glorification of slang, while others argue that this move is an inspiring step away from society’s elitist past. “I’m all for going with the times,” English junior Cristy Cataldi said. “But a lot of those things aren’t real words, and there’s no excuse to remove words just because we’re not using them. They’re still words.” Others have a more favorable opinion. “If it’s a commonly used term, let’s define it, and let’s have it available,” English teaching fellow Britta Coleman said. The recent additions have caused people to question the role of the dictionary itself. “Though it’s important to have a dictionary of words we are saying, [dictionaries] should also be trying to challenge the population to speak more eloquently,” Cataldi said. In order to decide what words should be added to dictionaries, editors daily examine recently published material and mark any new words of interest, according to Merriam-Webster’s website. If any one of these words gains enough citations to confirm that it is widely used and editors are able, via the sources provided to them, to glean a universally applied meaning, the word is typically integrated into the dictionary, according to the website. In the same way, the less frequently a word is used, the closer it moves toward extinction, and the

“Cultural institutions, whether they are museums, symphony orchestras, art galleries or – in this case – dictionaries, have had a harder time justifying any kind of exclusion,” Ignatow said. “In the current political environment, cultural institutions can’t do that kind of thing: they lose money, they get backlash.” No matter the case, the issue is in society, not the dictionary, he said. “It’s bigger than any of us to say if it is good or bad,” Ignatow said. “For some people it’s liberating. Language provides more resources for us to express ourselves. For many people it’s probably a little overwhelming – it can create generation gaps, things get left behind. But it’s the world we live in, and our society shapes it.”

DJ Big J hosts Boombox Tuesday nights at The Abbey Underground in an attempt to bring hip-hop to Denton.

Denton brings hip-hop scene with Boombox

MORGAN GENTRY Intern

The soft crooning of folk singers, steady beat of drums and slow strumming of guitars are some of the sounds that can be heard seeping out of various venue s and e choing acros s Denton’s downtown square every night. However, Abbey Underground felt it was time for a new sound to be added to the mix. The venue has teamed up with DJ Big J, a well-known DJ around the DFW, Houston and now the Denton area, to bring Denton’s nightlife a hip-hop f lair. The event, titled Boombox, will take place at the Underground every Tuesday night. DJ Big J, formally known as Jason Abbott, was a part of the original Swishahouse, a hip-hop/ rap subgroup out of Houston. He went on to travel the nation

as a hip-hop emcee of the group Clever Monkeys and is now a DJ on the rise. “Denton has always welcomed me with open arms,” Big J said. “So to have my own night where I can just have the crowd really jam with me as I throw a variety of songs in the mix is awesome. Boombox will def initely get people on their feet.” The idea for Boombox came from Mike Stewart, the DJ over Dubstep Night on Wednesdays at Underground. He pitched DJ Big J’s name when the owners wanted a change for their Tuesday nights. “We wanted a new format other than the ‘top 40s’ night we had designated for Tuesdays,” Abbey Underground co-owner James Brand said. “Mike mentioned a guy who could get the crowd rock ing and was perfect for the spot. So we figured adding hip-hop into the mix would suit

more likely it is to be removed. Dictionaries are currently serving more as the historians of our speech, intended to record the vocabulary of the changing society around them, not necessarily affect it or define its worth, Coleman said. “Dictionaries are there to record when and where terms began, and if we start recording these words as they’re being established, then future linguists and historians can look back and see, ‘Oh, this was established in 2012,’” Coleman said. “Any word we’ve ever spoken had a beginning, too.” Right or wrong, the climate of today’s society makes it difficult to justify excluding these new words, sociology professor Gabe Ignatow said.

Karla K. Morton writes in the notebook she carries with her all the time. Artwork inspired by the 26 poems she wrote about Denton will hang in the Meadow Gallery at the Center for Visual Arts through Oct. 28.

the young crowd in which we are trying to reach out to.” Audiences can expect to hear a mix of urban music, top 40 hits, hip-hop and rap playing throughout the night, Brand said. He said that a DJ could make or break the whole night and is hoping Tuesday nights bring good times for the audience and enough revenue for the venue. UNT alumna Jazlynn Steele has been attending Boombox since the night began two weeks ago. “Big J always knows how to get the crowd moving,” she said. “He’s been at numerous hip-hop shows in downtown Dallas, and you can just see the audience get hype every time he throws on a new track. If Underground keeps him around I’ll be sure to come every Tuesday.”

The Center for the Visual Arts will host the opening reception for “Passion, Art, Community: Denton, Texas in Word and Image” from 4 to 6 p.m. today at the center’s Meadow Gallery. The exhibit, which runs through Oct. 28, will include 26 pieces of art including paintings, photographs and collages. The pieces were inspired by 2010 Texas Laureate and Denton resident Karla K. Morton, who was asked by the Greater Denton Art Council to write poems on the history of Denton. Morton got her start in fifth grade when she was assigned to write a poem about her favorite color. Her teacher responded to her art with “ Wow,” and from that day on Morton knew that’s the response she wanted to get for all of her art.

“Every word counts,” Morton said. “You have to get to the meat of what you want to say and go from there.” After graduating from Texas A&M Universit y with a journalism degree, Morton moved to Denton and fell in love with the city because of its great passion for the arts. After being asked to write the poems, Morton spent six months researching and writing. She spent her days looking around town and visiting the sites that each poem is about. She also made visits to the courthouse museum. She ended up with close to 50 poems. “The history is ancient as well as current,” Morton said. “You feel a lot from the area, there’s always that line of the old going down and the new coming up.” The exhibit includes poems about the pioneers of Denton and pieces titled “The Last Raid” and “Fry Street Saints,” a poem about the clearing of Fry Street for new construction, along with

its history. Exhibit coordinator and artist Deanna Wood, who created a painting in the show titled “Peace Eagles,” was assigned the poem “The Last Raid.” “I was trying to find something in the poem since the poem was dark,” she said. “Something that was hopeful, and there was something about birds.” Each piece in the display is a part of the public art collection and will hang in public places around town when they are not on display at the center. Morton describes the exhibit as an “ekphrasis,” a Greek word meaning collaboration, or any art that inspires other art. “I want people to fall in love with Denton all over again,” Morton said. “I want them to have such a swelling of pride and sense of place. This is a gift of Denton to the people.” Mor ton, a long w ith the artists, will sign copies of the book containing the poems and artwork tonight at the reception.

Athletes use Olympic trials to improve times DAVE CARSON Intern

Over the summer, five UNT athletes had the opportunity to compete for their countries in the summer Olympic trials. Although none of the participants qualiﬁed, the athletes will be able to use the experiences they had during their upcoming seasons. From the swim team, sophomore Krista Rossum (100-meter breast, 200-meter breast, 200-meter individual medley) and freshman Michelle Balcaen (50-meter free) swam for Canada, while sophomore Mona Groteguth (50-meter back, 100-meter back, 200-meter back) and freshman Jana Burkard (200-meter free, 400-meter free, 800-meter free, 1500-meter free) swam for Germany. Senior Steven White of the Mean Green track team ran for the United States in the 400-meter hurdles.

“ The Olympic tr yout was a different experience, because you were competing for yourself and not the points for your team,” Rossum said. “This motivated me and made me aware of the little things that I need to work on to improve.” After competing against other potential Olympians, Groteguth wants to use the Olympic experience to improve throughout this season. “I need to practice harder, because the German swimmers are really fast,” Groteguth said. “My goal is to compete in the next Olympic Games in Brazil.” The Mean Green swimmers might not be Olympians yet, but they are breaking school record times in the pool. Groteguth holds two North Texas records in the 100-meter backstroke in 55.17 seconds and the 200-meter backstroke in 1:58.80

minutes. Rossum holds four North Texas records: the 100-meter breaststroke in 1:01.46, 200-meter breaststroke in 2:14.54 minutes, 200-meter individual medley in 2:00.65 minutes and the 400-meter individual medley at 4:20.79. White represented the Mean Green track team by competing in the 400-meter hurdles in Eugene, Ore., and placed 13th by posting a 50.80 in his final race. In April, White broke his own record at UNT in the 400-m hurdles in 50.75 seconds. As motivation to compete in the next Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, White had the Olympic rings tattooed on his right forearm. “I learned a lot about myself at the Olympic trials,” White said. “I learned how to recover from small mistakes and realized how important it is because you only have one shot to prove yourself.”

Sports going social RYNE GANNOE

Senior Staff Writer Social media tethers itself to a user constantly, even away from a computer. With technology like iPads, cell phones, TVs and game consoles, it is hard to escape the Internet and social media sites. Now, social media has fused itself with Mean Green sports. North Texas Athletics teamed up with Lodestone Sports to create MeanGreenRewards.com, a rewards program for fan’s social media involvement. “Our biggest thing is identifying new potential leads of fans, and obviously that means season ticket buyers, but also just people out there talking about our programs,” Senior Associate Athletic Director Eric Capper said. “Our primary purpose in using Lodestone is to help create a little bit of a social buzz for our Olympic sports [and] our sports that might not necessarily have as big of a following as football and men’s basketball.” A f ter signing up at MeanGreenRewards.c om, tagging on Facebook, retweeting and hashtaging on Twitter, and using other “social” activities related to UNT sports can give you points that can be exchanged for rewards. The current grand prizes are an autographed ball by an unspeciﬁed head coach and players, a pre-game locker room visit complete with ﬂoor seats to a men’s basketball game or a dinner with a head coach at the coaches show. The contest began in August

and ends in December. Every NCA A sport UNT competes in is represented in the contest, assuming cross-country is incorporated with track and ﬁeld. The UNT Athletic Department’s Twitter account, @MeanGreenSports, and its 5,015 followers have been UNT’s primary method of branching into social media. Partnering with Lodestone seemed like the next logical step. The Athletic Department advanced its online presence even further by launching a football-only website last Friday, ntmeangreenfootball.com. Unlike the rewards program, the website was made by the University. “While the site was created

primarily as a tool to aid recruiting [and] features videos produced by the athletic department, its focus is on four main topics: the coaches, the facilities, the championships and program history, and the NFL connections,” according to a North Texas Athletic Department press release. “Each of those subjects has its own page.” The new football website and Lodestone’s program are both tools the athletic department is using to become more socially active. “This company, Lodestone, is relatively new, but they’ve expanded very quickly, and they’ve done a great job of capturing a market of college athletic departments and programs,” Capper said.

Players who will be missed, who will step up TYLER OWENS

Senior Staff Writer With key players from last season graduating, the Mean Green will need certain players to step up if it wants to contend in the Sun Belt this season. It is worth noting what players will be missed and what players can be expected to step up and contribute in their place. WHO WILL BE MISSED: Lance Dunbar – Running Back Dunbar set the university’s alltime rushing record with 4,224 yards, recorded 49 career touchdowns with the Mean Green and was one of six players in NCAA history to have 4,000 rushing yards and 1,000 receiving yards in a career. The gutsiest performance of

Dunbar’s career came in his final game with the team. In a rain-drenched 59-7 win against Middle Tennessee, Dunbar rushed 40 times for 313 yards, setting the UNT and Sun Belt record for most rushing yards in a single game. After going undrafted in the 2012 NFL Draft, Dunbar signed with the Dallas Cowboys and is trying to make the team as a third or fourth string running back. Brandon Akpunku – Defensive End Akpunku led the Mean Green defense in sacks for two seasons and was a major leader on the defensive side of the ball. He recorded more than 45 tackles in three of his four seasons as a member of the Mean Green. In his ﬁnal year at UNT, he led the defense in tackles for loss with 10 total, and sacks with 7.5.

One of his best games was Sept. 24, 2011. Akpunku recorded five solo tackles and two sacks, helping the Mean Green defeat Indiana 24-21. It marks the only victory over a Big Ten school in university history. After his graduation, Akpunku continued his football career by joining the Canadian Football League as a free agent. Michael Outlaw – Wide Receiver Plagued by injury through his career, Outlaw only played in 21 games for the Mean Green but recorded 58 receptions for 680 yards and three touchdowns in those games, averaging 11.7 yards per catch through his career. His ability to catch the deep passes helped diversify the offense by taking pressure off Dunbar and quarterback Derek Thompson.

The best performance of Outlaw’s career was Oct. 24, 2009 against Troy when he caught seven passes for a total of 112 yards and recorded a touchdown 50-26 loss to the Trojans. WHO WILL STEP UP: UNT Running Backs Dunbar’s graduation leaves a big hole at the running back position. Though no one has stepped into the official starting role thus far, junior Brandin Byrd, senior Jeremy Brown and redshirt freshman Antoinne Jimmerson will battle it out for the starting role. “They’re all different. Brandin is a bigger, stronger running back who runs with a lot of strength,” offensive coordinator Mike Canales said. “Jimmerson is kind of a combination of both quick

Brett’s Breakdown: Volleyball is making some noise Opinion BRETT MEDEIROS Staff Writer

Ladies and gentlemen, the UNT volleyball team is legit. The Mean Green is now 5-0 on the season, setting the record for the best start in the program’s history and last year’s best player is not even starting. Ebony Godfrey, 2011 standout and member of the preseason All-Sun Belt team, is coming off the bench for the Mean Green in her sophomore season, but not for underperforming. The first thing fans will notice about Godfrey was her jumping ability. She was by far the best on the team last season. This year, she has the fifth highest vertical jump on the team.

Godfrey is still as good as ever, but the new recruits and other Mean Green veterans, such as junior outside hitter Courtney Windham, have seriously stepped up their game. So far this season, Windham leads the team with an average of 3.94 kills per set, with a .331 hitting percentage. She also leads the team in total kills with 63, 14 kills ahead of the next closest on the team, freshman Carnae Dillard with 49. Windham is a lso play ing defense this year, leading the team in blocks with 26, already half of the total she gathered all last season. One of the best things UNT has going right now is its clean bill of health.

The

Last year injuries plagued the squad, as it seemed none of the key veterans could stay healthy throughout the year. The team’s fate was put on the shoulders of Godfrey and Windham, two players who were new to the Mean Green last year. A healthy roster means all weapons are at head coach Ken Murczek ’s disposal, making his life much easier. They are only five games into the season, but the numbers never lie. This young team is scary good and could challenge defending Sun Belt Conference champions Western Kentucky for this year’s title. While all these stats are a nice icing on the cake, seeing is believing.

Fans need to look at the schedule and get themselves to a game. Before the season started, this team was predicted to win their division, and it wasn’t some cruel joke. They could be one of the few fall semester teams to bring home that Sun Belt Conference trophy for UNT.

but strong, and then you’ve got Jeremy who’s quick, elusive and kind of reminds me of a [Darren] Sproles-type running back. It’s running back by committee right now until someone establishes themselves.” Zach Orr – Linebacker Junior Orr led the team with 74 tackles last season and is looking to step up into an even larger leadership role this season after being selected as one of the team’s captains. “[The other players] look to me for my vocal leadership and my playmaking,” he said. “I just plan to come out here and work hard, bust my butt and give it 110 percent every day. I’ve got to be a leader for my teammates.” Will Atterberry – Punter Along with sophomore offensive lineman Cyril Lemon, senior

Will Atterberry was named to the preseason All-Sun Belt team. He was also predicted by ESPN to be on the 2012 All-Sun Belt team, along with junior Brelan Chancellor, kick returner and wide receiver. Atterberry is also gaining national attention with his leg, as he is a contender for the Ray Guy Award, a yearly award given to the best punter in college football. Despite his already successful career, Atterberry is always looking to improve. “I’m trying to do better than I did last year,” he said. “There are amazing other punters out there, especially [LSU punter] Brad Wing. I try to compare myself to him, and I try to strive to be better than those guys. That just adds more pressure. That’s my competition.”

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? Answer: Going into the 12th and final year of the Sun Belt Conference, the Mean Green football team has played 11 ranked opponents. 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 Mean Green Fling has finally arrived Do you use social media Staff Editorial

to keep up with activities on campus?

“I use it to know my options and not to just try to stay to just one type of scene. I like to have variety in what I do.”

It looks like the Mean Green Fling went off like a firecracker this year, with a return to its original location on the Library Mall and Campus Green and an amped-up selection of activities designed not only to get new students out of their dorms but also to promote awareness of on-campus organizations and student alliances. At first glance, it appears that UNT’s events coordination team has refined their yearly blowout to a well-oiled party machine, but take a long look at the Fling’s Facebook wall and you’ll eventually notice some issues. A common complaint was that the tantalizing offers of “free stuff” available at the event didn’t

all appear, and that some offerings – particularly free food – seemed to actually be scaled down since last year’s bash. This complaint might have some merit, since the 2011 offering of a full meal was replaced this year by “lighter, colder” options such as slushes and fruit, apparently to reduce food waste. A more important issue raised by commenters was an apparent lack of preparation for the huge crowd that gathered: posts bemoaned quickly disappearing food samples, free shirts and other “swag” commonly distributed by the event’s nearly 100 sponsors. The idea of a UNT event actually being so popular that it runs out of supplies seems, frankly, almost comical.

Aren’t we used to an apathetic student body too preoccupied with their own business to even take off their sunglasses and make some friends without an orientation leader practically twisting their arm? We’ve probably all experienced some seriously underwhelming turnouts at a variety of campus events in the last few semesters, but if Tuesday night is any indication, the tide might just be starting to turn. The fact that the Mean Green Fling might have been slightly unprepared to feed, entertain and even clothe the impressive turnout of students that packed the lawn isn’t just forgivable, it’s practically UNT science fiction.

Sure, last year’s Fling set a new record for attendance with about 8000 people on Fouts Field, but it’s unlikely that any of those visitors could stand the heat long enough to stick around and browse brochures for intramural sports and creative writing clubs. This year’s vintage location change was a great decision, and if the Student Activities division could just grab a few more tank tops and sunglasses next year, we might have a real campus tradition on our hands. And really, guys – if you seriously want to reduce food waste, try only giving free sandwiches to people who look really, really hungry.

Don’t play chicken with marriage rights This past summer, Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy publicly reiterated the company’s stance against same-sex marriage, sparking widespread controversy and garnering public attention. It’s clear that this faith-based fast food company has made a striking deviation from normal methods of public relations, especially considering the increasing number of individuals in the United States approving of same-sex marriage, as evidenced by recent opinion polls. Despite the media’s endless coverage of Cathy’s recent comments and the subsequent debate, the company’s opposition to gay marriage has been an open topic for years. This is made obvious by the millions the chain donates yearly to “pro-family” organizations directly opposed to LGBT rights. It’s clear that the news of this “controversy” is merely the result of the media trying to attract viewers who consider the company’s morals somehow relevant. Besides the obvious public relations boost, I think it’s nothing but fodder to flood the airwaves. I believe that marriage is not defined by the state or church, but instead by the individual. Although the state must approve each marriage for tax purposes and recordkeeping, marriage is a dynamic social construct that merely labels a relationship between people. Disregarding the Bible, some tradition, and almost every Disney marriage plot, my definition of the institution is instead a ceremony that celebrates a personal bond. In my opinion, marriage is the greatest lie we’ve ever told our children. Perhaps not all parents sugarcoat their children’s developing years with a happily-everafter fairytale of idealized wedded bliss, but most media that touches on

the subject still suggests marriage is a normal and necessary event in a person’s life. Considering the signals promoted by our status-obsessed society, it’s safe to say that marriage signifies to many a complete transformation into adulthood. This widespread cultural opinion suggests that it is normal to get married, it’s okay to be gay, and – to a lesser extent – that to be a fully mature adult, one must get married. The problem is that most states don’t allow you to be gay and married at the same time, essentially symbolizing gay Americans as politically inferior, or at least unworthy of the same benefits of those with a “straight” orientation. People are different, they have different beliefs, and they can certainly speak, vote and buy chicken sandwiches accordingly. But the simple truth is that states, religious doctrines or any other groups do not define marriage. Individuals define it for themselves, and the spectrum of love cannot be confined by the rule of law.

Student body needs to get a checkup The 2011 STD Surveillance report by the Texas Department of State Health Services is available for our white-knuckled perusal this month, and it seems Denton isn’t just famous for adorable albino squirrels: the City of Denton has the 12th highest rate of chlamydia in Texas. Compare this to its population ranking of 27th in the state, and the pervasive nature of this sexually transmitted illness in Mean Green country starts to sound a little worrisome. It’s one thing to catch some infectious school spirit, but this? This is really not a category our student body should ever want to “compete” in. I don’t know about you, but I can live without the chronic pain, inf lammatory conditions and reproductive complications that come with leaving this horrible disease untreated. The main problem with chlamydia is that it causes noticeable symptoms in less than half of those infected. This means that the disease can lurk inside the body for quite some time and might even be passed along to a sexual partner without either individual ever noticing anything is amiss. The destructive effects of the infection, when left untreated, can cause great harm to both men and women equally, so this issue should be very important to ever yone on campus. Sorry, but there’s no “ battle of the sexes” here, guys – this is serious business, and we’re all responsible for our own health and happiness while we’re students here. So what should we do about it? To be honest, the answer is deceptively simple: get yourself tested regularly – that’s about once a year for sexually

active people under the age of 25. This may sound like a slight hassle, but the test is simple and fast, and getting tested is as easy as making a trip the Student Health and Wellness Center. If you don’t have insurance, that’s not a problem. The Denton County Health Department offers full HIV and STD screenings for $20 a pop. Some organizations promoting sexual health also frequently provide STD tests, contraceptives and more at no cost. This should definitely appeal to the broke college student inside us all. Let’s put a healthy spin on our Mean Green pride this semester by frequently taking advantage of these services. As a student at a large institution such as UNT, if you’re sexually active, you can never be too careful. If we all dedicate ourselves to staying responsible and taking our health seriously this year, I’m positive we can bring these concerning numbers down. The world should know that being green also means being safe.
