UNT beats rival in front of recordbreaking crowd Page 2

A crowd of f r iends, colleagues and members of t he UNT communit y stood on hot pavement Friday afternoon to watch t he dedicat ion ceremony of a w i nd turbine and solar panels at the Environmental Education, S c ie nc e a nd Te c h nolo g y Bu i ld i ng. W hen const r uction workers completed the t u rbi ne, applause er upted from the onlookers.

T he t u rbi ne a nd pa nel were built using a $500,000 grant from the State Energy Conservation Office (SECO).

Ruthanne “Rudi” Thompson of the biology faculty wrote the project’s grant proposal, entitled “SMART Schools,” to encourage Texas schools to be more energy-conscious. “[SMART Schools project] is basica l ly ta k i ng t he school as it is and trying to ma ke it more tech nolog ically advanced energy-wise, because we ca n’t a f ford to bu i ld new bu i ld i ngs r ig ht now but we can afford to save money,” she said.

Construction worker James Tuton tightens parts on the new wind turbine for the Environmental Education, Science and Technology Building. A consideration for the wind turbine’s name is the “Old Oak Tree,” named after an oak tree that was taken down for the construction of the greenhouse just next door.

A f ter T hompson wa s given the grant from SECO, she received more than two dozen proposals from schools in Texas asking for financial support for facility upgrades that would increase sustainability, according to a UNT press release.

The turbine and panel are also meant to be an example to t he com munit y of how a lternat ive energ y generators ca n be used in urba n areas, Thompson said.

Every kilowatt the turbine and panels generate will offset a kilowatt that UNT would usua l ly pay for, sa id Sa m Atkinson, a biology professor and director of the Institute of Applied Science.

Managing Editor & Staff Writer One of the three men injured Saturday morning when a balcony collapsed at The Grove Apartments in Denton is in serious condition at Harris Methodist Hospital in Fort Worth, hospital spokeswoman Reace Smith said.

Garrett Draper, Grant Draper and Tony Garcia were attending a party when the third-floor balcony they were standing on detached from the building and fell to the parking lot below.

A CareFlite helicopter transported the victims to Harris Methodist Hospital in Fort Worth, where Garcia and Grant Draper are in fair condition.

The North Carolina-based compa ny, Ca mpus Crest, released a statement as The Grove’s development company.

“The safety and well-being of our residents and guests that visit our properties is our top priority and concern. We are working in full cooperation with the local authorities as they investigate the incident, and will comment once more information becomes available,” said Campus Crest representative Jason Chudoba in an emailed statement.

In a follow-up statement, the company added that the balcony was a “non weight-bearing structure” that was “not designed to support the weight of three full grown adults.”

Terrence Williams, a resident of The Grove and kinesiology sophomore, said the problem with the balconies worries him because there may be other safety concerns residents do not yet know about.

Sergio Lopez tightens bolts on the new wind turbine outside the Environmental Education, Science and Technology Building.

News Graffiti The vanda lism includes graffiti, often crudely drawn with markers, on both the Courthouse itself and the sidewalks outside.

Kelsey Oakes, a development and family studies senior who frequents the Courthouse law n, said she t hinks t he graffiti came from a few bad apples.

“Most people who come here don’t have bad intentions,” Oakes said. “It’s just a nice place to come and hang out.”

Oakes said the new curfew would put a damper on the Square’s nightlife.

“Especially on weekends, a lot of people are out here late, and I don’t see how you can enforce a curfew when so many people like to come out here,” Oakes said.

Denton County police said some of the graffiti may be a result of Denton’s music scene shifting from Fry Street to the Square and the subsequent bar crowd.

Kevin Roden, the Denton City Council member represent i ng Dist r ict 1, wh ich includes the Square, addressed the police comments on his website on Aug. 25. “... It is irresponsible and unfortunate to pin the blame on an aspect of Denton culture that is enriching to civic life and continually puts us in t he nationa l a nd international media spotlight,” Roden wrote.

Roden said he sympathized with Denton County leaders trying to address the problem,

Casey Straughn, an anthropology senior, sits outside the Courthouse reading and listening to music at 8:30 p.m. Monday.

The courthouse is a popular hangout, but after recent graffiti done to it, the city has enacted a 12-6 a.m. curfew. but also wrote that the downtown Square had thrived in recent years because of its unique “sense of place,” and that the curfew could be detrimental to it.

Roden recom mended i nc r e a s e d r e s p on s i bi l it y a mong Denton residents, encouraged investment in better landscaping, and said law enforcement should distinguish between people gathered peacefully at the Courthouse and potential vandals.

“To be clea r, dest r uctive, senseless, a nd criminal activity of this kind has no place on the downtown square,” Roden wrote. “But we

must avoid policies that serve to turn back the momentum of a community that is enjoyed by many who live in or visit the downtown area.”

Bra ndon Ma r t i n, a n employee at Hooligans, a pub located across the street from the Courthouse, said he hadn’t noticed any graffiti personally but was familiar with the new curfew and said he didn’t think it would have an effect on businesses located near the Square.

“The people they’re trying to deter from the Courthouse are the people that can’t afford to come here,” Martin said.

“Homeless people, bored kids,

people with nothing better to do.”

Martin said he was glad officials were taking measures to protect the Courthouse, but said it was unfortunate for the people who just wanted to have a good night on the Square.

The Courthouse and its lawn are currently under video su r vei l la nce, a nd Denton Cou nt y Cr i mestoppers is offering a $1,000 reward for information on graffiti on the Square.

Although the Courthouse is the property of the county, city of Denton police officers also patrol the area.

Strong winds continue to fuel North Texas wildfires NICOLE BALDERAS Senior Staff Writer

Wildfires have run rampant this season in the North Texas area, burning thousands of acres and forcing the evacuations of certain communities. Now with a fall wind passing through, firefighters are working hard to extinguish flames fueled by the forces of nature.

“Palo Pinto County has had 6,555 acres burned, and lost 39 homes and nine RVs,” said April Phillips, a public information officer for the Texas Forest Service. “It’s about 75 percent contained, so they’re making some progress.”

Phillips said it would be hard to say when the fire will be completely contained because ultimately the weather is in control.

Despite the massive land damage, no one in the area has sustained major injuries, but a few did suffer heat-inflicted wounds, she said.

K r isten Sk i l l ma n, a n employee for The Grille at the Harbor restaurant on Possum Kingdom Lake, described the fire as a “nonstop beast.”

“T he f i re is across t he la ke f rom where I work,” said Skillman, an interdisciplinary senior at UNT. “We had a volunteer go in to get some people out. One of them fell trying to escape with decent burns, but we’ve been pretty lucky not to have too many damages.”

Skillman added that she and others at the restaurant have taken care of some of the firefighters putting in extra hours during this time by providing them with a free room and taking care of their meals.

While the Palo Pinto fire show s prom i se of dy i ng down, others are just getting started.

Nearly 500 Texas homes have been destroyed by various wildfires thus far, according to the Associated Press.

Gustavo Romero, a UNT music professor and pianist, performs in Voertman Hall last Wednesday. Romero will perform three recitals during Oct. and Nov. The series will begin at UNT on Oct 21.

UNT professor inspires listeners M ARLENE GONZALEZ Staff Writer

The house is silent. The audience seated in Voertman Hall appears to have frozen in their seats as the virtuoso, Gu st avo Romero, st r ide s across the stage and ta kes his spot at the stool in front of the polished black grand piano and waits, poised. He ta kes a deep breat h. T he moment creates a reverent space between silence and the act that breaks it. When he exhales, it begins.

“I’m not a dancer, but his music ma kes me wa nt to spread my arms and flow with melody,” said Yuting Luo, a piano performance sophomore, following the concert last week. “He’s very good at projecting pain and delight,” she said.

Romero, a U N T mu sic professor and internationally acclaimed pianist, has been interpreting the pain and delight of his predecessors for the past 13 years.

Steven Harlos of the music fac u lt y ha s seen Romero perform since he arrived at the university in 2002, and continues to be enchanted by the way the international pia nist ca rries himself on stage.

“I think he’s an amazing person; Liszt is a wonderful demonstration of his artistic abi lit y,” Ha rlos sa id. “I’ve never heard him play Liszt before, but I t hink it suits his temperament, his intense personality, and Liszt’s was an intense personality also.”

Starting Oct. 21, Romero will celebrate the 200-year anniversary of Franz Liszt’s bi r t h by honor i ng t he Hu nga r ia n musicia n w it h three performances in one month – a pace that he says is uncommon for a pianist.

Romero hopes that through h is music, aud iences w i l l grasp a better understanding a nd appreciat ion for t he 19th-century composer.

“Liszt is not my favorite composer, but I’ve enjoyed playing his music,” he said.

“It gives me a glimpse into the 19th century when he first appeared into the music world and how he was different from ot her romantic pianists at that time.”

Instead of stay ing home to watch a not her episode of “A merica’s Got Ta lent,” Denton resident Rut h Whitbeck told her husband she’d be going to Romero’s recita l to watch some rea l talent, she said.

“It was very good, very full of emotion, of what music brought to him as he was playing,” Whitbeck said.

Out of all the pianists she ha s seen, W h itbeck sa id Romero has been one of the best she has heard.

“The power he put into his music, I enjoyed it very much,” she said.

Romero w i l l per for m at a music festival and piano competition in Lynchburg, Va., from Sept. 9 to 11; afterwards he will travel to Del Mar, Calif. to continue his per for ma nces on Oc t . 6.

He will play Listz in all the concerts.

Although he has played in Italy, South Africa, Mex ico and the United States, he is delighted to know the music he plays can bring a moment

of uniqueness to someone’s day, he said.

“The audience was ver y attentive a nd quiet; t hat’s always a good sign,” Romero said.

W het her he i s play i ng across t he cou nt r y or at UNT, Romero gives the same a mount of energ y in each recital, he said.

“It’s different geographically, but when it comes to losing themselves in music, it’s t he sa me a l l over t he world,” he said.

About 250 students gathered in t he la rge classroom in the Eagle Student S er v ic e s Bu i ld i ng la st Wednesday night to happily kick off this semester’s first meeting of the Gay and L esbia n A ssociat ion of Denton, getting acquainted with like-minded persons of the LGBT and queer alliance community.

T he g roup ha s been a rou nd si nc e t he late ‘70s. Once called the UNT Courage Group, it started out w it h fewer t ha n 10 members and has since has made a difference in the lives of countless students involved in the LGBT and queer-f r iend ly com munit y. The group is open to all students, including allies, straight people who support the LGBT cause, sa id Brady May f ield, a political science junior and president of Glad.

“W hen I first came to UNT I didn’t know a whole lot of people, coming from a small town; I started to come to the Glad meetings and I met people who came from the same situation and I developed friendships and that’s how I made so many friends. It’s very personal to me,” he said.

The group is intended as a social place for LGBT students to garner a strong supportive group intended to benef it t he com munity as a whole, said Alvin Akibar, treasurer and an ele c t r ic a l eng i ne er i ng senior.

“We want to have a safe place to come to ma ke friends and get to know people and get out of their rooms and meet people,” he said.

With the LGBT community receiving increasing coverage i n t he ma i nstream media today, the group stands as a gateway for people willing to get involved in the civil rights aspect of the LGBT movement.

“I t h i n k w hat we’re seeing right now as far as LGBT rights in America is it’s almost a game of two steps for wa rd one step back. We are seeing good

t hings, we a re seeing gay marriage lega lized in New York, but there are also political candidates running on an anti-gay campaign,” he said.

“The future looks bright, but there’s still going to be a lot of fighting and a lot of work to be done.”

Akibar said while members of t he g roup ma i nta i n a primarily socia l agenda, it also helps direct students who

want to be more active in civil rights in the community with other groups like Queer Liberaction and By the Bi. “I never paid much attention to the media and things like that until Glad introduced me to that kind of thing,” said Sage Sims, a music sophomore and member of the group.

T he g roup a l so ma kes sure to give back to the local community. It has held fund-

raising events in the past to benefit local nonprofit organizations such as Citizens of North Texas and Youth First Texas, Akibar said.

On Sept. 18, it will be a part of the LGBT pride parade in Da l las a nd w i l l a lso have its bi-annual drag show at Mable Peabody’s in Denton sometime this October. The group holds meetings every Wednesday night at 7 p.m. in ESSC 255.

“To me, Glad is a place where I ca n come a nd be with people who share similar struggles and similar viewpoints and experiences to me and it’s a really cool thing to be a part of, coming to a new school where you don’t know many people,” Sims said. “I’m really thankful that this kind of orga n i zat ion ex ists on campus.”

Red Hot Chili Peppers fire up with tenth album Opinion DAISY SILOS Staff Writer

Fresh off a five-year hiatus, the Red Hot Chili Peppers are back with their 10th album, “I’m With You.” But it’s almost like they never left.

The Ca lifornia rockers, who have been regulars on Billboard charts for almost three decades, prove they’ve still got it. Since their last release, “Stadium Arcadium,” the band has replaced guitarist John Frusciante with Josh Klinghoffer.

With a new guitarist, you’d think RHCP wouldn’t sound the same and yeah, they don’t — they’re even better.

The band skyrocketed to the top with albums such as “Blood Sugar Sex Magik” and “Californication.”

Now, RHCP are back with the anticipated album “I’m With You,” which countless fans will be sure to love.

The album opens up with the song “Monarchy of Roses.”

It’s an upbeat song that, true to the band’s reputation in the last two decades, has a catchy chorus that you’re sure to burst

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS/I’M WITH YOU out singing. The song introduces new guitarist Klinghoffer by showing off his talents with a brief solo that could be longer.

It’s a great opener because it not only has lyrics to sing, but they’re carried along on one of Flea’s funky beats that leaves you dancing like no one’s watching.

The album’s first single, “The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie,” is without doubt the liveliest song. Laid on a popfunk beat, this song had me rocking in my seat. It’s also the most complete song, musically, full of great guitar riffs, entertaining lyrics and even a little cowbell mixed in there; what more can you ask for?

Although their sound still managed to stay the same during their five-year hiatus,

Eddie Vedder, right, performs with Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers during the Third Annual Hullabaloo concert in 2007. it seems the RHCP did some growing up during their break.

A maturity is noticeable in the songs “Brendan’s Death Song”

and “Dance, Dance, Dance.”

These songs have a slow melodic beat to them and heartfelt lyrics. “Brendan’s Death

Song,” for instance, is about a California club owner who died about six months ago, Brendan Mullen. Mullen gave the band a chance to perform live back when they were first starting, in the early ‘80s. The song shows a side of the band that is more down to earth, which is completely different from their

usual goofball antics.

From start to finish, “I’m With You” will have you rocking out to all 14 tracks with their poppunk songs and melodic and mature tunes, which you won’t want to miss out on.

Mean Green stays undefeated ]

Mean Green History September 6, 2003

B OBBY L EWIS

Senior Staff Writer

A f ter t he UNT women’s soccer team outscored its two opponents 16-0 last week, head coach John Hedlund said he’d really see how strong his team was with tougher opponents on the horizon.

Two ga me s later, U N T (4-0-1) remains undefeated this deep in the season for just the second time in program history after wins over SMU and Houston this weekend.

Late goal helps UNT defeat rival SMU Sen ior for wa rd Ni k k i Crocco kept her hot streak going, scoring two goals to lead UNT past SMU (3-2-0) 2-1 in front of a Mean Green S o c c er C omple x r e c or dbrea k i ng c rowd of 1, 28 3 Friday.

The win was the first for UN T over a ny SMU tea m since the Mean Green football team beat the Mustangs 24-6 in 2006.

“This is our biggest rival,” Hedlund said. “This win isn’t just big for this program; it’s for the entire athletic department.”

After a scoreless first half, Crocco got the scoring started w it h a header in t he 53rd minute. However, t he lead for UNT was short-lived, as the Mean Green backline hit the ball into its own goal less than a minute later to even the score at one apiece.

“It wa s rea l ly def lat i ng because we worked the whole game to get that first goal,” freshman goalkeeper Jackie Kerest i ne sa id. “We were finally kind of sitting more comfortable, but that got us right back on our toes.”

T he decisive goa l ca me w it h t hree minutes lef t in regulation when Crocco hit an empty-netter after stealing t he ba l l f rom SMU senior goalie Courtney Webb. “[Hedlund] told us before t he game t hat t heir goa lie holds the ball really long and to pressure her, so I was just doing that,” Crocco said.

Tough weekend followed by win ALEX YOUNG & BRETT MEDEIROS Staff Writers

Facing its toughest competition of the season, the UNT volleyball team struggled all weekend in the NT Invitational but regained a .500 winning percentage with a victory Monday.

Sam Houston State In the first game of the NT Invitational, UNT (4-4) fell in four sets to undefeated Sam Houston State (5-0). The Mean Green committed 27 attack errors and allowed eight aces, preventing itself from sustaining a rally.

The first two sets were contorlled by SHSU with ease, as it had an average attack percentage of .351 compared to .90 by the Mean Green.

The Bearkats stayed strong on the net, posting eight blocks in the two sets compared to two for the Mean Green.

“We just didn’t play our brand of volleyball those first two sets,” head coach Ken Murczek said.

“Relentless effort is part of [our brand] but it just wasn’t there.”

Oklahoma After Friday’s loss, UNT continued play against #17 Oklahoma University (6-1) in its second match of the invitational.

The Mean Green fell in three straight sets to the Sooners,

allowing OU to earn a .357 hitting percentage.

The Sooners held an edge throughout the match by dominating play in front of the nets. OU finished the match with 12.5 blocks compared to one for the Mean Green.

Texas A&M leaves Big 12 conference Priorities should shift in wake of balcony collapse Editorial Three men were still in a Fort Worth hospital last night, three days after falling from a third story balcony while attending a party at one of Denton’s newest student-living apartment complexes.

One is still in serious condition.

Garrett Draper, Grant Draper and Tony Garcia walked out of doors they thought led to the balcony, but actually led down to The Grove’s parking lot.

Don’t call it a balcony to The Grove’s upper management, though.

Chassity Brown, a spokeswoman for Campus Crest, the company that owns The Grove, said the structure involved in the incident was a “decorative,” “non-weight bearing structure that was not designed to support the weight of three full, grown adults.”

If the structure wasn’t meant to support the weight of grown adults, it is careless and irresponsible to have a fully functioning door that opens out to the area. It’s either a door that leads to the balcony or a door that leads to ground.

Serious questions need to be asked, and the apartment won’t be the only one forced to answer to inquiries. The Grove apartments were constructed over the summer and went up in about two months — an alarmingly fast turnaround. That should have been a red flag to the building inspector to spend enough time thoroughly checking the building, especially the railings – decorative or not.

In its 10-K form filed with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission, Campus Crest touted its vertically integrated platform to investors. According to the document, Campus Crest has ownership of the companies that perform every part of The Grove development process.

As Ted W. Rollins, CEO of Campus Crest, pointed out in an interview with Multi-Housing News (MHN) the company stands to benefit 100 percent from the value creation of The Grove entities.

In other words, they have a direct financial incentive to build quickly and cheaply.

UNT and its students fits the description of what studenthousing apartments look to feast on when searching for new markets. Student enrollment is expected to grow and majority of students reside off campus.

With no sight of a new dorm listed on the university’s Master Plan, the Editorial Board challenges UNT leadership to be more proactive in building tighter oversight over the student housing apartment complexes that are looking to expand their market to include Denton.

UNT expects enrollment to reach 45,000 by 2016. With its booming student population, Denton has already seen the beginning wave of cookie-cutter complexes looking to prey upon young adults who have little experience with residential leases.

Both Denton and UNT leaders need to make sure their priorities are straight before a second wave of cheaply made apartments hastily pop up and lead to more injuries. The safety of students, not potential capital, needs to be the bottom line over any financial interest vested by corporations.

Here’s what our Facebook fans had to say about recent stories in the NT Daily

My uncle and I both enjoy watching football games to count how many times football announcers will use analogies based on other sports – we are not sports fans.

That run right through those defenders was a home run! I’ll tell you Jim, I think that field goal before halftime was a slamdunk. GOAL! That was supposed to be a soccer reference – I know, it’s a tad generic.

I’m the last person to pay attention to ESPN or the sports pages in the local newspaper, but I’m certainly the first to notice when money scuttles something important to my family.

Last week, Texas A&M announced they were leaving the Big-12 conference. ESPN and the University of Texas have recently solidified a partnership that will give UT its own channel, the Longhorn Network, alongside the alphabet soup of ESPN channels that already flood the cable TV listings.

This means no more burnt orange vs. maroon rivalry. This means you won’t have Bevo and

Reveille facing off across the football field, energizing their respective students, alumni and fans cheering in the stands for one of the most heated rivalries in the country.

Why do I care? The only time I ever watch football (or any sport for that matter) is when I’m tapping my foot alongside a bar on Fry Street or downtown, waiting on my next beer.

Both my parents went to UT. Both my parents are inseparable from the TV when college football season gets underway.

Their screams of joy or anger at a particularly error-prone referee, reverberate within my parent’s house as the clock in the corner of the screen ticks away.

No game is more anticipated in my family than the A&M, Texas game in November. In my hometown when I was young, it was a tradition for us to walk down the street a few blocks where my parents and I would join lifelong friends packed into a modest living room, cheers or jeers exploding in unison as the game went by.

We have relatives in smalltown Missouri and we have spent numerous Thanksgivings in a community only connected to the rest of civilization by roads paved across endless hills that will make even the most seasoned road tripper a bit carsick.

Out in the country, my relatives rarely have enough reception to watch the rivalry, so my parents have opted to go into town and get a hotel just to ensure they can watch the game.

For me, it won’t feel like something is missing until I go home one Thanksgiving and my parents are not glued to their seats in front of a game they’re only watching for lack of something better. I guarantee you, however, they will feel like there’s a void in their lives year-round.

They will be able to curse at Oklahoma during the Red River Rivalry. They’ll watch the Army, Navy game intently. The Michigan Wolverines, where my father attended for a while, will become a frequent sight in my home as football season ramps

up. Nothing can replace the pride, tradition and sheer emotion the A&M, UT game instills in my parents and thousands of other alumni and fans.

I believe UT’s decision to value TV station call letters and a permanent row in TV guide that will only have enough meaningful content to program Saturday afternoons during football season.

The summer sessions at UNT do not compare to the hustle and bustle of the fall and spring semesters. This allowed me to venture out and make new friends with international students from Saudi Arabia who allowed me a glimpse into their culture. I can’t say that I’ve had any close Muslim friends before, but now that I do, I can definitively say that Islamaphobia is on the same par as the Red Scare and the Salem Witch Trials.

Si nc e S ept . 11, m a ny A mericans have voca lized caution in relation to Muslim immigration, and politicians such as Herman Cain have warned against the Sharia Law movement, which I have come to believe is nothing more than a scare tactic.

I asked my friend the very simple question of why did he want to come to America, to which he expectedly replied in one word, “freedom.”

This leads me to believe that Muslim-Americans, in fact, appreciate freedom more than some natural-born Americans

because they have experienced what it is like to live without it.

And to exercise some “common sense,” why would anyone vowing against freedom ever move to the land of the free?

Yet time and time again we hear anti-Muslim sentiments purely on the assumption that Muslims move here to corrupt our political system.

The reality is that if Muslims support authoritative rule, they would not have the inclination to move here. Sharia may be a part of their religion, but they also have enough respect for the freedom of American culture to not push it upon anyone.

How do I know this you might ask? Because they invited me, a blonde-hair, blued-eyed white boy and Christian to join them on their celebration of the Islamic holiday of fasting, Ramadan. And I must admit, I don’t think I have ever experienced the quality of hospitality as I did on that night.

They welcomed me in and stuffed me full of soup, food, tea, cof fee, dates a nd, of

course, hookah. And although they couldn’t drink alcohol during Ramadan, it didn’t stop them from offering me a beer.

I was rendered lethargic and thoroughly appreciative by the exceptional amount of festivities they shared with me.

Then I had a conversation with one gentleman in particular in which we discussed the similarities and differences of Christianity and Islam, as well as what he thought of Muslim extremists.

His reply: “They are not true Muslims; true Muslims believe in peace among men.” This wasn’t surprising. I’ve heard many Muslims defend their religion with this clause on television, but hearing it from a primary source was indispensable.

I would like to encourage everyone to have an experience like mine at least once in your life, if not only to enjoy yourself, but to at least say that you’ve experienced a culture many Americans consider to be the opposite of our own.

To be honest, I will never

get the opportunity to understand how being raised under Islam is, nor how growing up in Saudi Arabia may be, but after making these friendships I can say that I feel more cultured than I did before the summer.

Friendship transcends religious and cultural customs, and to think that some people fear such a joyous people can only be described as comedic.
