Group gives opinions on city surplus A LEX M ACON
Senior Staff Writer About 50 Denton residents attended the Denton City Council meeting at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday to give their input regarding the city’s proposed 2011-2012 budget plan, where the conversation quickly turned to the implementation of a new bike plan. A diverse group that included cyclists, college students, children and an elderly woman who said she rode her bike 10 miles, voiced their support for the city’s bike plan. Mayor Mark Burroughs read from the comment cards of other Denton residents who said they wanted the city’s surplus money to go toward the bike plan. Devin Taylor, a cyclist and supporter of the bike plan who drew a raucous round of applause after his brief presentation on the plan, suggested the city spend $232,295 of its current surplus to add 20 miles of bike lanes in the next year. “This is a start,” Taylor said. “If we build a mile a year, we’ll never catch up, but if we build 10 a year we’ll get there.” The city’s budget includes a $333,676 surplus for city council initiatives. The surplus was initially estimated at $192,000, but went up because of an increase in the city’s projected sales tax revenue.

The remains of a house located at 537 Highway 21, Bastrop, Texas. Over the past week, more than 118,400 acres of land in the Austin area burned from wildfires.
Wildfires continue path of destruction WIRE AND STAFF REPORTS
Four people have been killed and more than 1,000 homes destroyed as fast-moving central Texas wildfires raged Tuesday, the third day of one of the most devastating wildfire outbreaks in Texas history. Severe drought conditions have contributed to the outbreak of about 180 separate fires across the state in the past week, the most severe of which
continued to blaze Tuesday outside the town of Bastrop, 30 miles southwest of Austin. The fire has claimed more than 600 homes and forced the evacuation of several thousand mostly rural residents. Governor Rick Perry cut short a campaign trip to South Carolina on Monday to oversee the disaster response. In what Perry has called the “worst Texas fire season ever,” wildfires have burned more than
3.6 million acres, and Perry has issued disaster proclamations nine times since December. About 1,200 firefighters from local departments and across the country are battling the Texas flames, and more are expected to arrive in the coming days.

A-train ridership grows, students demand more routes CAITLYN JONES Intern
After less than two months of service, Denton County Transportation Authorit y’s A-train seems to have hit its stride during UNT’s first week of classes. Ridership spiked from about 1,100 riders per day before school started to 1,500 last week when hundreds of commuting students between Dallas and Denton used the rail line to travel to and from campus for their first week of classes. “We’re now carrying 1,400 to 1,500 passengers on the trains and another 17,000 on shuttles,” said Dee Leggett, vice president of communications for DCTA. “The trains have been full and we can safely assume that it’s been because of students.” The A-train is a regional rail line that connects Denton to Dallas via DART lines in Carrollton. It follows parallel to Interstate Highway 35E, making stops in Dallas, Denton and Lewisville. The cost of a monthly regional pass is $120. The peak hours of ridership are in the mornings around 7-9 a.m. during the week when

trains run between 8:36 a.m. and 3:06 p.m., and southbound trains are not in service between 8:51 a.m. and 3:19 p.m. “I currently cannot ride the train due to the hours,” communications junior Delori Brittain said. “I would make it to UNT without difficulty. The issue is that they don’t start running again until three, so I’d be waiting two hours for the train.”
DCTA says it will develop a survey to collect information about travel needs of the riders. Until then, riders will have to work their schedules around the A-train. “I understand DCTA is recouping the cost of the train,” Brittain said. “But the bus running once an hour is not an adequate solution in my eyes.” DCTA spends $8.2 million

a year to operate the A-train system. With the increase in ridership in the past few weeks, the revenue from the project is expected to increase as well. “Although we don’t make profits off of the trains because they’re a public service, we do expect to make up 15 percent of the total cost in revenue,” Leggett said. As of now, DCTA is leasing
trains from DART to use for the A-train system. Permanent trains are being imported from Switzerland through the Gulf of Mexico and shipped up to Denton. “Two trains have already arrived and another is set to arrive today,” Leggett said. “But because we have to run tests on the trains, they won’t be running until spring.”

With this weekend’s first UNT football home game in mind, Denton officials are taking measures to be sure that neighborhoods surrounding UNT’s new Apogee Stadium don’t become a new tailgating spot. Ordinance No. 2011-138 was passed and approved by Denton Mayor Mark Burroughs Aug. 16 to ensure the safety of Denia neighborhood residents. The neighborhood, which borders Apogee Stadium, was thought by some of its residents to be at risk for game-time traffic. “We do have some traffic concerns,” said Denia neighborhood resident Bruce
Chamberlain. “Bonnie Brae is such a skinny road, so we’re willing to go along with this plan.” The ordinance, which can be viewed at cityofdenton.com, will restrict street parking in the neighborhood during stadium event times. Signs indicating times of enforcement will be put up about two hours before stadium events, said Emerson Vorel, director of parks and recreation for the city of Denton. Anyone parked along the street during an event must visibly display a resident or guest permit in his or her vehicle. “It’s been for mu lat ing for severa l months now while we talked with the cit y and w it h residents,” Vorel said.
“This seemed to be the best answer.” Denia residents have been notified of this change, and now it’s up to event attendees to use caution when choosing a place to park. “I don’t know that we’re really anticipating [extra ticketing] because we have sent out notification to residents, so I think most people know about it,” said Denton deputy officer Renz. Because times of enforcement will vary depending on the event, residents a nd v isitors of t he Denia neig hborhood should be vigilant when parking and plan ahead for large events, Vorel said.

An ordinance passed by the City of Denton on Aug. 16 will restrict street parking surrounding UNT’s Apogee Stadium, and will help residents control game time traffic and tailgating. The Mean Green’s first home game will take place at 6 p.m. Saturday.

“Hopef u l ly [resident s ] wou ld spea k w it h t hei r ne i g h b or s a nd d i s c u s s pos sibl y usi ng some of their guest permits,” Vorel said. “Worst case scenario, they could park at a residential center like the Denia Re c re at ion C enter a nd carpool to the house.” Parking along the street d u r i n g a n or d i n a n c e enforced time w it hout a proper permit may result in a fine of no more than $500 and possible towing, according to the ordinance. Though the new ordinance may take some adjusting for neighborhood residents and stadium event enthusiasts alike, Vorel said he thinks it is a necessary plan of action. “Any plan that we come up with will not make 100
percent of t he popu lat ion happy,” Vorel sa id. “[Residents] can certainly always talk to the city manager’s office or can speak to the police department about any problems.” Resident a nd g uest permits can be purchased at the Denia Recreational Center from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday t hroug h Fr iday. Resident permits and guest passes (good for one year) cost $5 each, and additional temporar y guest passes ( good for one day) can be purchased by residents for $2 each. The Mean Green’s first game in Apogee Stadium will take place at 6 p.m. Saturday and information on available parking areas can be found at meangreensports.com.

A t a pr e v iou s c ou nc i l meeting on Aug. 16, members discussed putting the surplus money toward street maintenance, additiona l traff ic signals, DCTA shuttle operating costs or the implementation of a city bike plan. Residents had concer ns that current bike lanes were currently unsafe, and implementing the bike plan would be beneficial to the environment, traffic f low in the city and neighborhood improvement. In November of last year, the city paid bike consultant and transportation planner Kev in St. Jacques $ 69,564 to develop a bike plan that would expand and improve on Denton’s bike lanes. The plan provides for 100 additional miles of bike lanes at a cost of about $25,000 a mile. Jerem i a h Tr i n id ad, a n employee of Denton Pedicab, sa id he was glad so ma ny people had show n up to support the bike plan, and hoped t he cou nci l wou ld implement it. “I just want them to set up a system where we can ride safely and clean up traffic,” Trinidad said. The council also voted 7-0 to approve a zoning change a l low ing t he Midtow n Apartments, finished in late July and located near Carroll Boulevard and Hickory Street, to construct an additional 40 rooms, or 150 beds. The meeting opened with the Denton Fire Department Honor Gua rd’s post i ng of c olor s t o c om m e m or a t e the 10th anniversary of the September 11th attacks. Burroughs honored gath-
ered members of the Denton police and fire departments and proclaimed a minute of silence to take place at noon on Sunday. “Disasters don’t happen every day, but every day disasters are diverted because of the ser vice of these folks,” Burroughs said.

To coincide with UNT’s first football game at the new Apogee Stadium, the university began putting up the stadium’s logo Tuesday. This is only one step in UNT’s new branding initiative. UNT is spending $224,250 on hiring marketing companies to improve UNT’s image and promote the athletics program. “The bottom line for all of this is to increase the value of ever y UN T deg ree by continuing to improve the university’s reputation,” said Kelly Reese, the assistant vice president of university relations. Reese sa id most of t he marketing is done in-house, but it is typical for universities to use outside services to
“All three companies have done a great job in promoting our university.” —Eric Capper Senior associate athletic director reshape their image.
Athletic image Public relations firm Weber Shandwick in New York was paid $30,000 to showcase UNT athletics locally and nationwide to the media. Oklahoma-based Old Hat Creative was paid $20,000 to develop the new stadium logo for the inaugural season, as well as print, video and ticket designs.
Eric Capper, senior associate athletic director, said t hey eva luated severa l different companies to find the right fit for the university. “All three companies have done a great job in promoting our university,” Capper said. “We know there is an added excitement a nd a n added buzz. We couldn’t have done any of this without the hard work of these companies.”
Academic image According to a branding initiative report released by the university in February of this year, UNT “has not engaged in an overhaul of its branding platform in recent years.” The report also states that UNT is making an effort to separate itself from ot her universities in the DallasFort Worth area and to create nat iona l awa reness of its emerging Tier One research status. Su l l iv a n Perk i n s, w h ich UNT hired for one yea r’s services, will receive $140,000 to develop, launch and implement a fresh image of the university. Brand Era was paid $25,000 to create video clips, radio spots, a webcast and various print and Internet advertisements.

Former students premiere animated comedy in Dallas DAISY SILOS Staff Writer
More than 300 people filled the seats of the Kessler Theater in Dallas on Saturday to see the premiere of “Don’t Tell My Wife I’m a Cult Leader,” a comedy cartoon created by two former UNT students. Todd Steinberg and Matt Rox created the animated sitcom, which is set in the fictional Texas town of Renton and features bookstore clerk Floyd Landers, who forms a cult to cure his boredom. Though the duo has not made a deal to expand the show on any network, they have planned several episodes in case they receive offers. In the pilot episode shown at the premiere, Landers recruits four friends to join his cult, which he keeps secret from his wife. Steinberg said he’s been fascinated by cults and wonders how their minds work. “I thought about how Charles Manson was, and it sparked my imagination thinking, ‘what if there was a cult so secret that even the leader’s wife didn’t know about it?’”he said.
Originally, the show didn’t start out as a cartoon, Steinberg said. “A friend of mine suggested it would be better as a cartoon and sure enough, he was right,” he said. The only problem with the idea of turning the story into a cartoon was that Steinberg is not an animator, so he asked Matt Rox to help. Rox told him he wasn’t interested, but Steinberg persisted. “After constant nagging and offering to buy him pizza, he came on board,” he said. With Rox in the mix, the two worked together and the characters began to evolve. For example, Rox and the fictional Landers both work in bookstores, and the town, Renton, is eerily similar to Denton, where the two attended college. “Todd would give me his ideas of what he wanted the characters to look like and from the sketches we’d work on creating their personalities,” Rox said. Kevin C. Carr, the voice of Floyd Landers, said the bizarre name got him interested in the project.

“Don’t Tell My Wife I’m A Cult Leader” is a locally made cartoon created by former UNT students Matt Rox (left) and Todd Steinberg (right). They held a question and answer session after the world premiere at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Kessler Theater in Dallas. “When Todd approached me with his idea of ‘Don’t Tell My Wife I’m a Cult Leader,’ I thought, ‘what a strange name, it sounds a lot better than American Dad,’” he said. “He offered me the lead char-
acter, Floyd, who has a bunch of followers and is just trying to find an outlet from his ordinary mundane life,” Carr said. In addition to voicing Floyd, Carr also plays two other characters in the show, Max and
Rawly. Carr said he’s that in his 25 years in the business, he had never seen anyone as dedicated as Steinberg and Rox. “They made a fantastic script with some amazing animation;
these guys create comedic art,” he said. Steinberg said he and Rox have several ideas for episodes if the show gets picked up. “This isn’t a hobby,” he said. “There was a lot of time and money put into this and we’ve planned what the next step is for each of these characters.” Sina Sabet, who watched the premiere, said he thinks the show conveys messages in a humorous way. “It’s about a guy who manipulates four people,” he said. “It’s reflecting what sometimes happens in society with people just trying to fit in.” Carr said he has high hopes for the show and believes it will be successful. “The Kessler Theater is only the beginning,” he said. “I know this isn’t where it’s going to end up; this is going somewhere.” Steinberg said there will be a second showing of the pilot for “Don’t Tell My Wife I’m a Cult Leader” at the 24th annual Dallas Video Festival from Sept. 21 to 25.

Critters forage for food, water during drought A SHLEY-CRYSTAL FIRSTLEY Senior Staff Writer
If you’ve recently spotted a scraggly bird, squirrel or possum around campus, you’re not alone. In response to dry weather and the summer’s heat, many of the campus’ and city’s critters are making their way into public places in desperate attempts to find food and water. “Of course with the drought, water sources are drying out,” said Kerry Payne, owner of North Texas Animal Control. “They [wildlife creatures] are depending on things such as swimming pools.” Animals can be dangerous if
they feel threatened, particularly snakes, which Payne said have shown up in conspicuous places this year. Copperheads and water snakes have been more prominent this year compared to past years because of the drought, Payne said. The snakes have been found near houses in search of shade and water. Last Wednesday afternoon, Tommy Jones, the safety services officer for UNT Risk Management and Emergency Services, received a phone call about a possum wandering outside the General Academic Building. Possums a re nor ma l ly
nocturnal to avoid being eaten by their predators, but they’ve been in plain sight on campus on numerous occasions because they’ve lost their way, Jones said. Squirrels are suffering from kidney failure, other mammals are unable to feed their young and birds are leaving their babies behind to migrate, said Diana Leggett, an expert in cottontails and jackrabbits. Leggett also said there is a severe shortage of pecans and apricots for squirrels, so by the time winter comes around, there won’t be much of a food supply left.
Live trap W henever students a nd facu lt y on ca mpus see a wildlife creature wandering around a phone call is made to Jones. The services tend to handle live wildlife, Jones said. Once he finds the critter, he sets up a wire cage known as a live trap to catch it. Depending on which critter it is, a different type of bait is
used to lure it in. “The only thing we don’t mess with is skunks,” Jones said. “We call [Denton] Animal Control for that.” Payne said he places a can of cat food inside to attract r a c c o on s a nd p o s s u m s ; p e a n u t b u t t e r- c o v e r e d crackers topped w it h tiny nut pieces for squirrels; and raw eggs or marshmallows for raccoons. Since armadillos are
80 percent blind, they inadvertently walk into the trap, making it easier to catch them without any bait. After they’re caught, the creatures are released into the woods. “We got some proper t y north of Denton at a park we own where an old missile base used to be,” Jones said. “If they’re sick, we take them to Denton Animal Services.”
One O’Clock to play season’s first concert BRITTNI BARNETT Senior Staff Writer
In the past five years, the One O’Clock Lab Band has produced five albums, toured Europe and filled dozens of concert halls throughout the U.S., but despite its continued popularity, the band performs a concert each fall in the University Union Syndicate that sets the tone for the rest of the semester. At the first bar of tonight’s 9 p.m. performance, 16 of the band’s 19 performers will make their debut with the group. One of the three returning performers, lead trombone Kevin Hicks, said the smallvenue atmosphere would allow for a good assessment of this year’s band. “It’s sort of a test for us,” the jazz studies graduate student said. “It’s a chance for you to see if you can play all this crazy music we play.” Compared to other venues the band plays, such as the Murchison Performing Arts Center, the Syndicate is an intimate space for the band, which has garnered six Grammy nominations in its history. “It’s a much more up-close and personal concert,” Hicks said. “It’s a more intimate setting and people will have a chance to meet the band.” Steve Wiest, the band’s director, said tonight’s performance will feature some of the classics associated with the band such as “Ice-Nine,” compositions from Thad Jones and pieces by UNT students. “They just had their first rehearsal Thursday and so they
“People will have a chance to meet the band.” —Kevin Hicks Lead trombone for One O’Clock Lab Band are excited, on edge, and ready to go,” Wiest said. At $5, the concert is also less expensive than many of the band’s shows. It’s a great opportunity for those who have not heard much about the band to check it out, Hicks said. “It’s a chance for them to see it and say, ‘oh, so that’s what it’s
like,’” he said. “It’s a great way for them to experience it.” Joel Morales, a post-baccalaureate student, has seen the band perform in the Syndicate before. “It was like being in an actual jazz lounge,” he said. “I felt like I was seeing a real jazz performance for the first time.” Guests will also have an opportunity to purchase the band’s latest CD and DVD, “Lab 2011.” “We always have a super intelligent home crowd,” Wiest said. “They are savvy about the One O’ Clock and about jazz in general. It’s our favorite audience to play for.” For more information about the One O’ Clock Lab Band and its other upcoming performances visit jazz.unt.edu/oneoclock/.

Sun Belt Conference and TV network extend partnership Brief PAUL BOTTONI
Senior Staff Writer The Sun Belt Conference and cable television network E SPN a n nou nc e d a ne w agreement Tuesday, which will begin in the 2012-2013 academic year and extend the conference’s partnership with the network through 20192020. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. “It’s great for all of us in t h is con ference. It shows great vision and commitment for the future,” UNT football head coach Dan McCarney s a id . “It ’s a t remendou s way for us to showcase our
conference on a weekly basis throughout the year.” ESPN and the Sun Belt’s dealings began in 1979, when the Sun Belt became the first conference to sign a longterm contract with the allsports network. Since then, each Sun Belt men’s basketball championship game has been televised live on ESPN, making it the longest relationship between ESPN and a collegiate sports conference. “The Sun Belt Conference’s relat ionship w it h ESPN is strong, as the particulars of this agreement clearly show,” Sun Belt Commissioner Wright Waters said in a press release. “Our league benefits greatly

He repeatedly said the conference was not doing anything to seek new members. “Any suggestion whatsoever that our conference is being predatory, that’s just wrong,” Scott said. “We have not had ex pa nsion a s a n initiative, as an agenda for us at all.” Scott added that he had to listen to pitches from interested schools to evaluate what might be in the best interest of the Pac-12 members. Un iversit y of Ok la homa president David Boren said Friday that multiple conferences have shown interest in the Sooners recently and he expects to decide whether to
leave the Big 12 or not within the next three weeks, if not sooner. Before Texas and Oklahoma de c ide d l a s t s u m mer to remain in the Big 12, there had been interest from the t he n-P a c-10 a b out t hem moving West. That included Ok la homa State and Texas Tech as potentially part of a 16-team league. “For me, ex pa nsion was always very much a strategic issue leading up to the fact that we were in TV negotiations,” Scott said. “I felt at the time that we needed to get to 12 (members), to have a football championship game, to be of equivalent size to some of our peer conferences.” Tex a s A& M a n nou nc e d this week that it is leaving t he 10 -t e a m Big 12 a nd applying for membership in a not her conference, li kely the Southeastern Conference as early as next week. Part of the reason Texas remained in the Big 12 was the opportunity for its own television network. Texas and ESPN recently launched the Longhorn Net work, a $300 million, 20-year deal. New Fiesta Bowl execu-
tive director Robert Shelton said he has concerns about c on ferenc e s g row i ng too large. “At t his point, I’m not a fan of the megaconference,”
Shelton said. “Not because I think it’s the death of college football, but I think it just on the whole brings more problems that have to be sorted out from benefits.”

We’re only five games into the season, but there’s plent y of reason for t he women’s soccer team to feel pret t y good about itself. For ju st t he s e c ond time in program history, t he tea m is u ndefeated (4-0-1) this deep into the year and is coming off a win over SMU, which head coach John Hedlund called UNT’s biggest rival. However, it’s the 6-foot1-inch force in goal who’s ma k ing t he most waves for the Mean Green this season. Freshman goalie Jackie Kerestine was tasked with replac i ng for mer U N T goa lie Mandy Ha ll, who graduated last season as the school’s all-time leader in shutouts and saves. It’s safe to say Kerestine is off to a fantastic start. “She’s c er t a i n l y not playing like a freshman,” Hed lu nd sa id a f ter t he tea m’s 1-0 v ictor y over Houston Sunday. In that game, Kerestine got a lead 30 minutes into the game, then proceeded to stop anything Houston could muster, amassing a career-high seven saves in the process. T h a t ’s n o t t o t a k e anything away from junior goa l ie Ha ley Newsome. Newsome split time with Kerest ine in t he tea m’s f i r st t h re e ga me s a nd played wel l, g iv i ng up just one goal with three saves. T hat s a id, t he te a m
Bobby Lewis seems takes on a different look a nd at t it ude w it h Kerestine patrolling the goal, with some UNT players even using t he word “int imidation” to describe the effect the freshman has on other teams. That’s not hard to understand, considering Kerestine is the tallest soccer player in the Sun Belt Conference, but it’s a bit odd since she’s only a freshman who’s yet to play a conference opponent. In that sense, it can be difficult to remember Kerestine is just in her first year. As of Tuesday, she was third in the entire conference in goa ls against average and second in save percentage. At t he sa me t i me, f ive games is a small sample size. And again – I can’t stress this enough – she’s a freshman. She gets just as nervous as the other six freshmen on the team and she’s going to make freshman mistakes. I don’t wa nt to decla re her Queen of the Universe or a ny t hing li ke t hat, but she’s rea l ly, rea l ly good. She’ll have a couple of big tests this weekend against a tough Sam Houston team and big boy school Baylor, but she’s gotten better with every game, which should “intimidate” every other team in the Sun Belt.

Nod: City passes no-parking ordinance for neighborhoods near stadium
As the first game of the season approaches rapidly, the residents of Denia and Laurel Hill Additions neighborhoods have no reason to worry. After months of discussion, the city and the police department worked together to prevent college football fans from turning the neighborhoods into a parking lot. In August, the Denton City Council passed an ordinance barring the parking on the streets in the neighborhoods during football games and special events held at Apogee Stadium. If residents wish to park on the streets during special events or football games, they must obtain a $5 permit from the city. With parking passes at Apogee Stadium running $20 a pop and the lack of parking spaces available, it’s no wonder some Denton residents were wary people would take advantage of the opportunity for free curbside parking. The Editorial Board nods the Denton City Council for listening to its residents and fixing a potential problem before it spiraled out of control.
Shake: Delivery driver threatens cyclists Last week local resident and delivery driver Gregory Ryan Butler sent out a Facebook invite proclaiming Denton’s first annual “Kill a bicycle hipster day.” To be fair, Butler’s list of targets didn’t extend just to hipsters. It seemed Butler had a bone to pick with everyone from freshmen to seniors to international students. Butler hoped for a day of running cyclists over as a way to teach them a lesson for violating traffic laws. “Wear a helmet and get a light for your bicycle,” Butler wrote. “or I’m going to turn you and your hip fixed-gear into a bloody mess of human entrails and aluminum framing. Then I’m going to throw my car into reverse and finish the job.” The event was soon removed from Facebook, but it didn’t go unnoticed. In the time that the event was up, 34 people confirmed they were attending it. Bike Denton weighed in on the event via Twitter, “I’m shocked that people are debating light and helmet use with a mass death threat at hand. Isn’t that like negotiating with terrorists?” A concerned patron took the issue to the police department via Twitter. The official Twitter account for the Denton police department responded, “This was all a joke… a sick joke and the person that started this site has removed it.” Even if Butler created the event for a few laughs between buddies who have a twisted sense of humor, it is still inexcusable to use the Internet as a forum for criminal threats and expect everyone to take it as a joke.
Nod: UNT’s green efforts expand Within the last few weeks, UNT has made great strides toward becoming a more sustainable campus by updating existing buildings to make them more environmentally friendly. On Friday, UNT unveiled a turbine and wind panel at the Environmental Education, Science and Technology building. UNT was awarded a wind energy grant in Aug. 2010 from the State’s Energy Conservation Office (SECO) for extensive research that the sustainability office conducted on the potential educational and environmental effects of wind turbines. The $2 million grant helped fund the construction of the wind turbines and solar panels. Nearly a year later, the money awarded by the SECO is helping the sustainability office bring its projects to life and improve the UNT campus. The Editorial Board nods the UNT Office of Sustainability for its commitment to advancing the university in its mission to be a green campus.

Robert Gates deserves respect The Distinguished Lecture Series is comprised of students, faculty and staff who work toget her w it h t he mission of introducing t he university, students and community members to the excellence of world-class speakers in hopes of exposing people to various personalities and interests. Past lecturers through the series include Bill Nye, Cornel West, Sherman Alexie, Vicente Fox a nd for mer President George W. Bush. This evening, UNT will host former Secretary of Defense Dr. Rober t M. Gates for a lecture followed by a period of question and answer from audience members. The event is just one of many t his week dedicated to remember i ng t he 10t h anniversar y of the terrible at tack s on September 11, 2001 that affected the future
of our nation. In addition, students have the opportunity to attend roundtable discussions regarding foreign and domestic policy, write letters to US military personnel and attend a memorial service at the Library Mall. I am extremely proud to be serving on the committee that selected Robert Gates as our keynote speaker as part of a week of events commemorating that fateful day. He is an honorable public ser va nt whose ca reer has spanned that of eight presidents, beginning w ith his ser v ice in the CI A starting in 1966. Robert Gates was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the United States Air Force, previously the director of the CI A and now chancellor of the College of William and Mary.
At one point, Dr. Gates, who is a scholar in US-Russian relations, left his post as president of Texas A&M University to serve as secretary of defense under President George W. Bush. When Barack Obama was elected in 2008, he asked Secretary Gates to continue ser v ing. This was the first time in United States history that a newly elected president asked a secretary of defense to continue serving between two administrations. When Gates left his post in 2011, President Obama surprised him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his nonpartisan service to his country. I t hin k Gates shou ld be commended for his service and it is an honor that he has agreed to speak at UNT ton ig ht. I wholehea r ted ly believe those who attend will
be blessed by the remarks of t h is honorable ma n. I encourage each student to consider attending this event because I believe each of us can learn something va luable.

Fact Check
Half of Americans drink soda, sweetened beverages daily
ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) —One in 20 people drinks the equivalent of more than four cans of soda each day, even though health officials say sweetened beverages should be limited to less than half a can. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released the figures Wednesday in a report said to be the government’s first to offer national statistics for both adults and kids. The new CDC report found about half the population drinks a sugared beverage each day. Males consume more than females, with teenage boys leading the pack. On average, males ages 12 through 19 drink the equivalent of nearly two cans of soda each day. Healthy-eating recommendations call for people to limit sugary beverages to about 64 calories per day. That’s a little less than half of a 12-ounce can of regular Coca-Cola, which is 140 calories. In other terms: An average can of sugared soda or juice has 10 to 12 teaspoons of sugar.
